The she being me and I’m looking to trade them in for a full fledged disorder.
I think it was watching the 2 hour premiere of The Biggest Loser last night (Tivo) that relaunched my sick quest to be thin. Or maybe “my quest to be sick thin” is a better way of putting it.
I know I’ve turned down the aisle of unhealthy when I call a friend that’s ill with a stomach virus to tell her to breathe in a ziploc baggie and save it for me. Hell, a good puke bug really helps shed a few extra pounds! What?
While we’re on the subject, this really pisses me off. Why do those diet commercials say, “Whether you need to lose 100 pounds or just the vanity 10, our plan is for you!” Why is it “vanity” to want to fit into your GD jeans from last winter? I call that being frugal. So, I’m vain for only needing to lose 10 pounds? What am I if I kick you in the shins?
And how come eating disorders aren’t contagious? You know who are the luckiest? The women that claim that they are too stressed out to eat. Size 2 and a legal Rx for Valium?? Oh, they are totally winning.
The biggest loser always makes me want to start a diet. My goodness the results on that show are incredible and I only want to be a size 10, not even aiming for the single digits!
I’m guessing it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to watch that show right now, since I’m headed in the opposite direction.
I remember being obsessed with my weight like it was yesterday, though at its worst it was over 20 years ago. I fainted a few times trying to get to that goal weight which had nothing to do with my body type. I remember always wanting to get to the very bottom or under my ideal weight range. I look at the photos and I didn’t look as nice as when I had more pounds.
You are already looking thinner than when I met you, and you looked beautiful then.
I don’t like the crazy lady that has come back. What’s her name? Jillian? She seems a little too evil. There are also some major whiners on this episode. But I’m loving the grandpa with his ass-kicking of the crowd on the first challenge, and his super duper weight-loss in week 1.
I’m lamenting my need to lose weight, and battling my desire to consume everything in sight to combat stress. Maybe all my hair will fall out and then people won’t notice my fat while being distracted by baldness.
I agree, I too hate those women who just don’t eat when they are stressed. I do the complete opposite. Not only do I eat more, I eat terrible foods. Plus the 2-3 glasses of wine in the evening to reduce my tensions does not help either. With my wedding only 301 days (not that I am counting!) I’d better start getting into an excercise routine.
*Refills your wine glass*
Lovely cooler weather early mornings isn’t it?
They call it the vanity 10 so that the fat girls like me won’t throw the remote control at the TV when they say “only 10.” I know it’s tough no matter how much it is you want to lose, but I gotta say from this girl’s perspective only 10 would be wonderful.
PS–You’re gorgeous just the way you are.
At least if you are up to a larger amount of weight. You can see the pounds rolling off……..when you need to lose the so called vanity 10 it sure takes a lot of time. I don’t like watching the biggest loser anymore. Because of this…..I eat like a mouse and work out and still I am the same. I guess maintenance is all well and good. But I want to lose too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Sherry. Having about 15 more to lose, it’s taking FOREVER to see any results! It would be easier if I had more to lose, I think sometimes.
SO weird. I thought about you just this morning. For some reason the fact that you taught five Jazzercise classes in one day popped into my mind. Walking (operative word) I was wondering how the heck you did that. Also, I was wondering how you keep you long hair off your body. Sweating with hair touching me drives me crazy.
If 10 pounds is considered vanity, what would 20 be called?
LOL.
Vanity 10, huh? Well, seeing I’ve never wanted to be the shallow type thank gawd I have to loose 30.
Yes. You should kick them in the shins :-D
