I'm a slave to food too!!

I'm a professional eater. 

  I think we all are a bit obsessed with food LOL, but we dont make shit and pointless crap telly proggies about it!  Won't be watching this garbage again.  I feel MASSIVELY sorry for her husband, having someone THAT whiney and obsessed would drive most men away.  Most women are worried about their weight, but Claire Richards is just BORING!

Whoa Cupcake! You're on a roll today 

I might

I havent finished yet Suzy.   I feel like a right moan today.  I have just put another thread up about a man who is a teacher AND a porn star! 

I love your rants Cupcake

I didn't see the programme, so can't comment specifically on it, but lots of people do have problems with food and if watching someone in the public eye talk about it helps them then it can't be a bad thing.

*goes to find the other thread*

 I'll check in later Cupcake! My job keeps on getting in the way....keep 'em coming 

OK LOL

I didn't see the programme and I have only one thing to say *braces self*   addiction to food and let's face it, over eating is an addiction to food, is probably in my book one of the hardest addictions to conquer.  

Why??  Well if you're a drug/alcohol addict, you eliminate them totally from your life as well as your system.  You can't eliminate food.  Yes you can eliminate the the 'bad stuff' but food is an essential and is ever present in our lives.

I've been interested to read today about a survey *although it's probably biased as weight watchers sponsored it* but according to it a lot of yo yo dieting is about attitude to food.  Councillors can help with that and maybe it needs to be on the menu *see what I did there*  of programmes to help obese/over weight people instead of gastric bands????   Trouble is, programmes that offer counselling like Lighter Life and Jenny Craig are astronomically expensive.  (Most of the food gorged by over weight people is actually quite cheaply bought for a pound an item at Farm Foods and the like). 

But getting back to Cupcake's topic   I agree with Rexi that if watching someone in the public eye helps them talk about it, then it can't be a bad thing     I just wish they'd stop bringing out these DVDs that make people believe that without substantial support of a personal trainer/chef, they too can have a body like Natalie Cassidy, Claire Nasir, Hannah Waterman (all of whom's dvds are still in their covers on my shelf)   they invariably put the weight back on because they've not 'treated' their attitude towards food and what is at the root of their over eating etc..

Gawd didn't mean to go on so much    

Professional dieter ??? Shes not a very good at her chosen profession is she

Good post Pengy!
