Fat Media


This is an advertisement I came across in an artist's blog.  It's a print advertisement from Anabell to fight Bulimia.  They should have included yellow teeth and thin-falling-out hair...it must be a wig, because I don't think a Bulimic of that extreme could grow such luxurious hair.  I think what's more frightening than the doll itself would be the accessories that would come with it.  Accessories are always important when chosing a Barbie.  Just sayin'.

Another interesting thing I came across is a television show called "Supersize vs. Superskinny".  It's on OWN on Monday nights and it's such a crazy show!  One extremely thin person and an overweight person trade their typical diets for a week to come to the realization of how their nutrition is ridiculous.  I would think that this would be dangerous, and it may be, but it is a powerful teacher to the participants.  If you have yet to see this, check it out!  It also has little excerpts of fun little exposes on different topics throughout the show that are extremely interesting. 

Another television show is about to begin too - my true addiction - "The Biggest Loser".  It is once again without Jillian Michaels, which completely sucks, but I will watch it anyway.  Love me some Bob Harper, and it's fabulous when he gets mad enough to drop profanities.  There's something fascinating about that.  Anyway, I look forward to being motivated by that show...I vow to no longer eat ice cream or pizza while watching it this season.  What is with that anyway?  I know a ton of people that eat "naughty" things while watching that show.  Are we just rebels?  We are rebels armed with cake as we watch other people in excruciating workouts sweating until they look as if they went swimming with their clothes on.

I wonder what would happen if we actually did this at a gym as we watched people workout.  It would be a freakin' anarchy!  I would love to see a flashmob do THIS!  Oprah's Michigan Avenue dance mob would have nothing on the cake, pizza, and icecream eaters at a 24 Hour Fitness!

So...Krystal, we don't know each other but I am a friend of Sam's...this may invigorate your addiction of BL this season...there is actually going to be a contestant who is from Spencerville, IN...and taught at Snider High for years. I think it will be awesome watching someone from our own backyard this season!

Hi Sharon!
I feel like you are a friend of mine - Samm has told me so many good things!
That's so exciting about the Spencerville/Snider High School teacher! I had no idea! Thank you for sharing - I will definitely be searching them out!! Exciting!

I can't believe I left out the extra M on Samm's name...how long have I known him?! sigh. If he's talked about me that much...we need to meet. Definitely :)

His name is Mike Danley, just for reference. He was my sister's DECA sponsor...so I am basically 1 step away from Bob Harper now. His wife (Mr. Danley's, not Bob's) was also my science teacher in elementary school.

I told my mom that I am planning on hiring Mr. Danley as my personal trainer once he gets back...she just laughed.
