Excerpt:

“Obesity is the new terrorism,” said Rolph, scraping the sauce off his dinner. He had ordered a marvelous $37.00 roasted trout, substituting broccoli for potatoes. Starch, he believed, was best limited to suits.

Priscilla looked down at her plate in embarrassment; her salad dressing wasn’t on the side. She wondered what she was doing here, with this man, with this plate. So many years she had spent exiled in overweight oblivion - flirting with nothing but the cusp of obesity. Always on the brink. Now here she was, sexy and beautiful, eating dinner with a man who was practically allergic to cellulite.

“I couldn’t agree more,” she replied, raising her glass.

“And might I say,” he offered, lifting his glass up to hers. “You are so much more attractive when you are agreeable.”

He clinked his glass and took a swig. “I find it very feminine.”

Oftentimes, a woman is drawn to man because he fits a particularly unsavory stereotype, a “bad boy” if you will. A domineering, degrading, chauvinistic persona. The kind of man that constantly needs to assert his presence, minimizing hers. She no longer holds any power. Ironically, for the always on-the-go, on-the-clock kind of woman, this can provide a tremendous relief. No longer having to be in control. One of the most disturbing forms of liberation is finding freedom through belittlement.

Deep down, Priscilla was like most women. She knew that victory for the American female was not about living large. It was, in truth, about being immeasurably small."
