Fashion Professionals Can be Cruel

Some time back I was watching a program about upcoming models and one of the models was slightly above the thin rake images that they always want to portray. The judges proceeded to tear into her calling her lazy and unprincipled. At one point the poor girl was in tears. The public then decided that enough was enough and they decided to keep her in through voting even though she was not being favored by the judges. One of the judges then went into over drive and she started screaming at the girl at every opportunity. At one point she was given a job and then the judge interfered and ensured that this girl never got employed.

What really shocked me was that the judge in question was an ex model of a certain age. Surely this woman could understand the kinds of pressures that the models were going through? Surely she could understand that the constant bullying was never going to help the girl but was only going to push her back further and further back into uncontrolled weight? In any case the judge herself did not look that well herself to begin with. What right had she to judge another human being in such cruel terms?

I then reflected on the incident and thought about how fashion people can be vicious to one another especially where it concerns weight issues. They keep insisting on an ideal figure which they very well know is not achievable when you consider the average woman or man. They create highly stylized fashion ideals that bear no relation to the real world but only serve to emphasize the emotional problems of women who have weight issues.

Sometimes you even begin to believe that fashion professionals are some of the worst enemies that ordinary women have. They create impossible tasks to fulfill and if you are unable to meet the requirements, they will harass you until you confirm. You have to be thin right up to their exacting standards or else you will be toast. Unfortunately for the women, they have no alternative but to confirm. This leads people into unhealthy diets and a sense of desperation which can even lead to surgery or taking unhealthy pills. The cruelty of these people sometimes knows no bounds.

Now I want to know what you all think. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt that you were pressurized by a so called fashion professional or do you think that they do have a point after all? Please do share your experiences because that is the only way we can learn from one another. I passionately hate this thing about harassing overweight people so I would really appreciate some feedback from you guys.

Welcome to the Fat Melter Blog

I welcome you to the fat-melter blog. We are declaring war on fat and I would like you to join in my campaign. I have opened this blog to share some of the information I gather from different places and also to give you an opportunity to comment and criticize. There are other sister-blogs on the blog roll which you can visit as well. In order to be able to melt fat, we need to control the diets as well as well as exercise. The blog will pick up from the previous blogs about tips to help people control their weight.

Crash diets are a favored repost for people who want a quick fix solution to their weight problems. These are short term diets that create a cycle of bingeing and then extreme deprivation without really helping the person to adjust their weight in a healthy manner. If you want to control your weight on a long-term basis, crash diets have to be eliminated from your routine. They are stressful and do not allow you to live a normal life. In fact experience shows that people put back all the weight they have lost and might even end up getting heavier than before.
The slow eating movement has taken root in some communities and it helps in the overall improvement of the health of the people who experience it. The time that it takes to chew food properly will help in terms of digestive health. When you are eating slowly, you release saliva that will enable the proper digestion of food. Some people have reported eating less as a result of chewing food properly.

Although alcohol is not encouraged, you might be in a position where you must buy some. In that case it is important to know the difference between different alcohol types as well as their impact on your diet. Generally dry wine is preferred to the sweet variety because the sweet wines contain lots of sugar whereas in dry wines the sugar has been substantially reduced by the process of fermentation.

Dry wine is better than sweet wine. Sweet wines naturally contain a lot of sugar. But on the other hand, in dry wines most of this sugar has been fermented away so from the weight point of view dry wines are better than sweet wines.
That is the opening post guys. I hope you can contribute to this new blog and challenge me to provide even more stimulating content for you over the next few months.
