Thank you, Diana Mason, for "Whatever Happened to Rubenesque?" (Editorial, January). Being "fluffy" and having curves was once desirable. Some of us will never again be the 120 lbs. we were as teenagers; instead, we should concentrate on health. At the end of my life, will it really matter that I wasn't a size 8? Let me spend more time concentrating on being the person I should be.
