Davina McCall – Because she hasn’t made enough already.
My Special K – ahh, sounds cute in a My Little Pony kind of way. The new approach is named ‘volumetrics’ – a posh sounding name for a big or a little amount, or an in between amount – clever. It claims you can ‘Eat more and see if you can weigh less’, sounds good? It goes on to explain that it works because you can eat all day, keeping yourself full BUT not on energy-dense foods – so nothing fun then. Oh, but if you follow it you can wear a red dress and smile ALL the time. Probably worth it then.
I could go on, but I’ll spare you. You’ll see the sickeningly 80s, cheaply filmed adverts soon enough and if I go on much longer you’ll probably want to eat your own eyeballs.
Keith Lemon – Kill me now.
Then the DVDs (Amazon has 9,323 to choose from):
In January though, one is not expected to sit on one’s arse,
http://www.mypicturesandme.co.uk/dis....php?pos=-3031, oh no. Yesterday I caught an ad-break which featured the following: Jenny Craig sending you soup that looks like dishwater, Z-list celebrity “fitness” DVDs, Weightwatchers, Special K diets and more shitty DVDs. They’re in full swing. Today my better half and I drove out into the Peak District for a bit of walk. With the absence of any decent kind of music player in our battered Skoda Felicia, we were stuck with radio – Xfm to be precise, and we were soon to discover that between Mumford & Sons, The XX and Crystal Castles, the diet/fitness army were sneaking back in, yelling at us to sign up to their gyms RIGHT NOW. I was going for a WALK for God’s sake,
cheap pandora earrings, SHUT UP. Leave me aloooone.
Kerry Katona – Yes, take advice from someone who finds it difficult to string a sentence together and is notorious for yo-yo dieting.
It’s everywhere, it’s unavoidable and it’s pissing me right off. Of course, I say this partly as an ambassador for not feeling under pressure to look or act a certain way just becuse the media is shoving it all down our throats (or asking us to do the opposite, through exercise, to undo our terribly sinful festive indulgences, which before christmas they were all too happy to tell us to let go, let our hair down – sell, sell sell). I have no doubt that the sceptics amongst you will say that these adverts and schemes and unaffordable gym membership fees are a good thing and that many of us do need to make positive changes to the way we eat and exercise – “It’s ok for you to say,” they’ll say, “not everyone seeing and hearing these adverts have been anorexic or trying to recover and have this hindering their progress – why do you always just think about yourself?” Well,
http://www.social-networking.eu/soci...mps-sale-where, for once,
pandora earrings sale, I’m not. I could easily blog and rant and moan about what a tragic thing this is for us poor sods who find it hard enough as it is to pick up real butter instead of shit-tasting low fat crap or have to force ourselves NOT to go for a run after eating a measly sandwich. I could, and it would be valid, but I’m not.
Divorce and suicide rates are at their highest in January – I wonder why.
This is on behalf of all of us; anorexic, obese – God forbid – normal. I can’t be the only one who detests this immediate change in what the machine wants us to do. At Christmas it is fine, even encouraged to overindulge, but the second it turns 2011 we all have to punish ourselveves for being so monstrously GREEDY, shoving all that BAD food down our gobs and getting too hammered to even work a bit of our Christmas dinners off playing charades so end up luped on a sofa staring blankly at Wallace and Gromit. It’s like giving me hundreds of pounds to spend in Selfridges, letting me splash out and then taking it all backwhilst kicking elephant dung in my face. They let us think it’s ok to fatten up on mince pies, mulled wine and box after box of chocolates and then BAM, shakey finger, tut tut tut, look what you’ve done. How dare you.
Working my way through about our third bag of chocolate eclairs since Santa came to visit,

http://android.d.cn/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=45117&extra=, sitting for hours on my somehow extraordinarily magnetic beanbag, laptop open and TV blaring – pretty much heaven for a few hours each day before my boyfriend is back at work and I have to face oncoming exams, essays and trying to find a job to squeeze in between them all. A lovely dose of relaxtion, of doing sweet FA while everyone else scraps over crappy sales and queues for hours to buy their last tank of petrol before the dreaded VAT rise of 2011.
So, it’s time to change. You’ve been successfully made to feel guilty, hopeless and rather like a shit on the shoe of Natalie Cassidy or some Atomic Kitten rehab reject. Let’s look at what’s on offer:
The fact is that these DVDs will soon be adorning table tops at car boot sales all over the land, the diets will turn out to be bloody boring, repetetive and stupidly expensive. January may start with a massive, yet ########, kick up the backside, but if we all feel we owe it to the diet industry we’ll be empty, poor and misrable by the end of the month. A boost for health should come from you,
Christian Louboutin shoes uk, not from a cheesy advert or a money-grabbing chain of gyms. I’m not saying that it’s not a good idea to make positive changes, to improve health, happiness, whatever else… but let us decide for ourselves without tying us down, making us feel like we’ve been gluttonous monsters and punishing us by pressurising us to do something about it right now, no, yesterday.
Clare Nasir – Who?
Jenny Craig – If Cheryl Baker can do it,
cheap pandora bracelets,
http://dushu.dqt.com.cn/uchome/space...=blog&id=87275, so can you! She’s also 100 times happier – it’s scientific fact. It’s basically meals on wheels – you pay them to tell you what to eat and get it delivered to your door – great. But this is my favourite part, as highlighted on the website,you’re – hang on, wait for it – ALLOWED to eat fruit! Sign me up.
