It's kind of odd that I pay attention to what women read. Just so you know I'm straight, and I don't read the tabloids. I'm just aware of my surroundings. Anyway, every time I go through the checkout line, my eyes never cease to amaze me. I'm always seeing magazines and ads with women who lost 50 lbs. in 2 months. Then next to these before and after pictures, I see other advertisements for all sorts of cake recipes and other desserts. How can you expect to lose 50 lbs. eating cake? Does anyone else agree that the media gives women mixed signals?
