Personally, I think her height and stature make it very difficult to keep her weight down. Combine that with menopause and she is fighting a losing battle. That is why I accept that she is not the waif like Bella Donna girl anymore and I love her just as much....if not MORE because apparently, she is indeed human.
Oh and that witch thing? Stupid stupid stupid.

Yes, yes--thank you. I and agree with you so much in another post further up when you said you were sick of the weight topic. I get this awful feeling in my chest when it comes up. I can't figure out what it would really matter if she weighed more than she does now, or she actually was a witch! Does that matter? If so, why? I can't understand people. If her weight is making her miserable, then I'm happy to see her lose or gain some. Other than that, she's beautiful to me. Nobody picks on Christine like this. You've got Homie over there in her forum saying that Christine is the only one who's a "real woman" and Stevie is too "weird" and like a fairy princess. WTF? (Okay, I already picked on him for that so I guess I'm running it into the ground.

Eh. Y'all ignore the crazy ranting Gate and Garden chick, all right? I shouldn't be getting all upset.
