In the News: Get a 6 Pack in 10 Minutes
I love Self magazine, Glamour, Shape…I’m a sucker for hearing the same diet and fashion tips over and over and over. But, one thing is starting to get on my nerves. I hate all these covers advertising 1, 5 and 10 minute abs. For the complete post, click here.

Annoying Stuff Fat People Do: Lose Weight Quickly
Dieting is hard. It’s specifically hard when you’re healthy, but just want to lose some extra pounds. Fatties who want to lose weight only need to make small lifestyle changes to lose weight. Walk 3 blocks daily, only eat two cheeseburgers for dinner, etc. Participants on The Biggest Loser have lost 10-18 pounds per week!!!

Confessions: I don’t care what Miss Any-State has to say!
Why does everyone care what Miss California has to say? The Miss America pageant is a ridiculous and antiquated form of measuring the worth and intelligence of American women. These girls spend their whole lives perfecting their faces, bodies, smiles, and pageant walks to make it to that stage. How does that qualify them to answer the tough questions about our country?
It doesn’t.

Annoying Things Skinny People Do: The Miss America Edition
This post is in tribute to last night’s Miss America Pageant. Congratulations to Miss North Carolina, Kristin Dalton, who took home the crown. As an American woman, I really feel like I can relate to her and that she represents me well.
How dated is this competition? I kind of can’t believe it still exists. Women parading around in bikinis and evening gowns and being “judged”. I mean, come on, this is owned by serial womanizer DONALD TRUMP. It’s interesting , the Miss America pageant, because the American girl is a size 10 or 12 and these participants are 0 or 2s. Headlines are claiming that the Miss America ‘defines beauty’.
I get it that people don’t want to parade normal people around, because that’s no fun in a bikini. How realistic is it to look like this girl? In my dreams maybe but realistically no. Maybe name the pageant Miss Skinny America or Miss Hot America?

Celebrity Baby Watch
Thanks to Perez Hilton for pointing out one of our favorite tiny stars is PREGO.
Being the infamous celebrity dieter Ellen is, it should be an interesting study of Love Handles previous observation in tracking the progress of this baby bump. Let the judgement and unflattering double chin photos commence.

Diet Secrets: You can burn a ton of calories while DOING IT.
Apparently, Calorie Lab has a sense of humor. They have put together a series of graphs, such as the ones seen below, to estimate the amount of calories burned during various sexual activities performed in various locations with various other “add-ons”.
According to a more conventional calculation on another health website, the average 150 pound woman burns 144 calories during 30 minutes of sex.
That will do, but if there’s any truth to the calorie lab site, I’ll be sticking to doing it like it is a major emergency during July 4th fireworks in a hammock while listening to Motown and then shouting about it from the rooftops. And the Fourth of July is right around the corner, so why not give it a try!

Celebrity Diet Secrets Revealed: Drinking Vinegar
Apparently, Fegie got her rocking bod by downing shots of vinegar.
Surely, what they didn’t mention in the article, that she took these shots of vinegar in between her breakfast of a cup of coffee (it has to be organic) and her lunch of a head of lettuce (from Whole Foods – duh.)
According to Fergie’s trainer, vinegar flushes out your system, promotes digestion, and curbs hunger. Well the last part is obvious; I think my hunger would be curbed too if I just had two tablespoons of something that smells potent enough to stink up a kitchen. If I’m doing shots of anything – it’s going to be tequilla.

In the News: United Airlines Hates Fat People
Effective today, United Airlines implemented a PR nightmare/new policy requiring that people too chunky to fit in one seat must purchase the one next to them. According to the Chicago Tribune’s article, United will ask the passenger to ‘pay for the extra seat or stay behind.’
As someone who this will probably never impact, I can see the obvious benefit for passengers that are not obese. There are few things worse than being trapped next to someone invading your space on an airplane, or really any other method of transportation. Obviously, airplanes are the worst. In those little rows it’s nearly impossible not to feel claustrophobic. When you have someone whose body is pouring into your seat it makes the trip even more painful.
On the other hand, this policy sucks. It seems like United Airlines could come up with options other than forcing someone to pay for 2 seats. That’s fricking expensive. How are these people supposed to fly when they’re spending so much on food? I mean, I agree that for the most part people are fat because of the choices they make. Thyroid issues aside (not sure I’m sold on this one either), what is a person supposed to do…lose 100 pounds before flying? Can I get a discount on my seat because I’m skinny and a fat person could spill over a little in the seat next to me? This seems like a terrible idea by United that’s going to lose them money and I, personally, am looking forward to the inevitable lawsuit.

Annoying Things Skinny People Do: Look Cute While Pregnant
I have come to terms with the fact that when I’m pregnant I’m going to be a whale. I’m not sure how I know this, but somewhere deep down I know. My Ds will turn into Es and my stomach will catch up to my love handles and NOT in a cute pregnancy pop kind of way.
Skinny people on the other hand look unfairly adorable when pregnant. They “glow” and from the back they just look like their former selves. From the front they have an adorable little baby bump.
Heidi Klum is always amazing, but even MAXIM finds her hot pregnant. Pregnancy is supposed to be a time when all woman are equally unattractive to everyone but their husband. So, eat up skinny preggos, this is your time to FINALLY stop depriving yourself of everything delicious.

Celebrity Makeovers: Kathy Griffin?
Who saw this hotness coming??
Perez brought this one to our attention, thanks to OK Magazine. Who saw that one coming? At least she’s real about it, admitting she “work[s] out five days a week for an hour and a half.” There’s a celebrity diet secret I don’t think we will be trying.

Celebrity Diet Secrets Revealed: Detox
I wouldn’t have a real problem with celebrities coming right out and saying “I have a role and I want to look skinny for it so I’m going to fast.” I understand that’s how they stay skinny and it helps me to justify the fact I don’t look like them…as I am not willing to stop eating. What I do have a problem with is the bizarre acceptance of these ‘cleanse’ diets and when instead of telling it like it is these offenders say they are “ridding their bodies of toxins”.
Offenders: Beyonce, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jared Leto and Ms. Katie Holmes, who is looking mighty fly:
Let’s explore Master Cleanse. Here’s how it works: for 10 days (the recommended amount of time) you drink a ‘lemonade’ made from fresh lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, water and Cayenne pepper. No solid food at all. First of all, that sounds like the most disgusting drink of all time. Second, the only thing in that little mix that has any calories is maple syrup.
Soooo reader friends…Master Cleanse=starvation. Will you lose weight, hells yes. Will you emerge from your lair with bags under your eyes and the shakes? My guess is yes. If you’re going to starve yourself don’t punish yourself by drinking a glass of that terribleness…at least treat yourself to some TOXIC coffee.

Annoying Things Skinny People Do: run on main roads while we drive by drinking a milkshake/eating french fries
While we should be happy to see people out and about in the sunshine this spring, it is the curse of every Skinny Girl Who Thinks She’s Fat to feel a fit of guilt induced by every runner she passes by on the street.
There is only one exception to this rule and we make it despite the daily reminders on People.com and gossip cites everywhere that we are not working out.
There is nothing we can do about our disdain for women working out right in front of us. We are powerless to the anger that overwhelms us when we see her working out on a day where we have opted for a leisurely stroll in the sun. Instead of seeking inspiration in others, we berate them for their positive exercise choices to protect us from feeling inferior to their drive and motivation.
This problem does have an upside though. When we are the ones doing the running, we can permit ourselves to look at every other lazy bum casually strolling down the street and remind ourselves how lazy and sluggish they are in the face of our workout triumph. When the Skinny Girl Who Thinks She’s Fat is on the move, she is superior to everyone out there because she had the drive and motivation to get her butt of of bed on onto the running trail.
