Superskinny Me

Despite my lack of weight loss lately, I've been feeling masses better about myself.

I have found a few pairs of size 16 jeans that fit me well.

I have discovered that knee length a-line skirts are very flattering on me, I feel all slim and girly in them :-)

I live in Brighton which is full of unusual, gothy and bohemian shops.  Most of the clothes in these shops have been out of my reach for a long time.  I can now fit into some of these clothes and made my inner goth very happy through buying this skirt with my birthday money.

And then I watched Superskinny Me: The Race to Size Double Zero and ploop I feel shite...

One of the girls in this managed to only lose a stone and dropped six dress sizes!!!  Of course she felt crap for doing it and regained half a stone of the weight quickly, but still I want to lose six dress sizes!

That all aside it was both disturbing and intriguing stuff.  I can't believe the diets the girls did (lemonade diet, watercress diet...), the exercise and colonic irrigation!!!  Plus the toll on them emotionally was quite bad - particularly for one of the journalists in this 'experiment' - she had to stop because she was on the verge of developing an eating disorder.

If celebrities really do these sorts of diets they must be fucking insane.

What really got to me though was that many of the things said in this programme, I could very much relate to.  Mainly thinking about food all the time and the major guilt and disgust I feel when I eat bad foods.

Truth is, I hate dieting.  But more than anything I want to be nine stone and healthy.  Quite simply I cannot wait for it to be over with.

While I can't speak for all of these celebrities. Remember the influence of illeagal stimulants in appetite suppression (think Kate Moss...)
