I resent the whole "Skinny Girl" line of drinks...wine, drink mixes, etc.
Number one...in my opinion..they SUCK. They really taste like crap. No amount of torture would ever force me to drink them. I don't care how fat I get drinking real drinks.
Number two...You're implying that if I'm not skinny...I'm not a Lady. Really?
Number three..."Drink Like a Lady"...How does a Lady drink? If I belt back a shot of whiskey, does that make me less of a Lady? If I have a top shelf margarita, does that make me less of a Lady? Oh, if I consume calories...I'm not a Lady???
"Skinny Girl' preys on every person's phobia that perhaps they're just not good enough so perhaps if I drink these sucky drinks and lose a couple of pounds, I'll be a better person. They prey on the definition of a Lady. I'm sorry, but each woman will define "Lady" for herself. Do you hear me Ladies??? Let me repeat that...
YOU WILL DEFINE THE WORD "LADY" FOR YOURSELF!!!
No one in this world will define it for you. You can be a voluptuous, whiskey belting Lady, You can be a very thin Merlot sipping Lady, You can be an athletic, water sipping lady. I know for me, I won't compromise on taste...so if I have to work out to have a good tasting glass of wine, or a top self drink, that's what I'm going to do. The same thing applies to food.
I used to buy all of the low calorie stuff thinking that was the way to go, but the crap they put in it usually isn't healthy. Don't get me wrong..I look at labels now and some low calorie things I will eat. But I got rid of Splenda, I don't use margarine, I eat more fruits and vegetables. But I also eat the fun stuff. I eat chips and salsa, Cheezy poofs, popcorn, etc. I just try to do it on the weekends and eat the appropriate amounts. I think the key thing I learned is...I am unique and what works for someone else, doesn't necessarily work for me....and vice versa.
You are unique and what defines you doesn't necessarily define anyone else. So you get to choose what makes you "you"; what makes you a Lady....and it sure the hell isn't some sucky tasting line of alcoholic beverages that makes you feel bad before you even crack open the bottle!!!
