soooooooo... i decided to check out some shows on the tele tonite. i have some interesting things to say about them. first, i decided to check out 'i can make you thin' which airs on tlc. i was totally prepared to hate this show. i figured it would be total shit and a bunch of the 'normal' advice on losing weight like starve yourself and only eat fat-free-low-cal-tofu then exercise 2 hours every day. well, so far it's a lot more about intuitive eating. though it does appear that some later episodes are not going to be this positive... and there's still the idea that all fat people SHOULD want to be thin. no room for fat ppl who don't mind being fat. and i don't really agree w/that. but i can get behind a show that promotes intuitive eating! bout damn time that someone... ANYONE on tv admits that dieting doesn't work. in fact, it makes you fatter! so i will wait and see on this one. but it would be nice if a 'diet' show didn't actually promote disordered eating and exercise addiction...
celebrity fit club is the other show i checked out. mmm kay. i was prepared to hate this show. and i do. 'fit' club my big, pasty, white ass!!! they don't seem to be pushing fitness. it's all about weight loss and starving yourself. the 'fat' ppl are all shamed and told they will be expected to lose a lot of weight. the 'less fat' ones are... still expected to lose weight. BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS!! IT'S REALLY NOT!!! right. what a load of crap. they are expected to 'give up' and 'bad' food and eat raw food only. now, i'm not opposed to the idea of eating raw food. as long as that's what you actually like to eat! me? i like meat and food that is cooked and food that is raw and EVEN TWINKIES!!! ZOMG!! TWINKIEZ IZ TEH BAAAAAAAAAD FOODZ!!! really. it's no wonder that all the previous members of the show that are returning have gained weight back. all of it and then some. mmmmmmmmmm hmmmmm. the jury is not out on this one. this show is a bad idea. i will not be watching it again.
