It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing why would I do that? I ain't got time for this just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.
I am now in that happy comfortable state that I do not hesitate to indulge in any fancy in regard to diet but watch the consequences and do not continue any course which adds to weight or bulk and consequent discomfort.
By the fourth grade I graduated to an erector set and spent many happy hours constructing devices of unknown purpose where the main design criterion was to maximize the number of moving parts and overall size.
That's a hobby of mine - to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me - obviously I'm often approached to do film related work but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer!
There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
For me I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.
So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died I felt like I had lost a limb.
People need jobs people need happy and successful lives there should be marriage between one man and one woman there should the value of person from conception until natural death.
The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase 'Let no one be called happy till his death' to which I would add 'Let no one till his death be called unhappy.'
As a well spent day brings happy sleep so life well used brings happy death.
