For those who haven’t seen the programme, Ms Hopkins (self
declared fat hater) decided to educate the masses by gaining 3 stone in weight
and then shifting it ASAP. The phrase ‘eat less, move more’ was rammed down our
throats as she rammed meal after
meal, snack after snack down her own revolting throat.
Not only was this a ‘No-Sh*t- Sherlock’ approach to diet and
exercise but it was also an incredibly naive experiment. No great surprise there, given who we’re
dealing with, but even the doctors who checked her out before her bingeing
began said that it was unwise and that they didn’t recommend her going ahead.
But go ahead she did, determined to prove her points.
If you eat a lot and
don’t move - you get fat.
When you stop eating
and take up exercise - you lose weight.
Really?! Oh, Ms
Hopkins where would we be without
your wisdom?
Now … here’s where I have the problem. I am considered to be a ‘normal, healthy
weight’. I have no issues with food but
I’m well aware that there are people who do, and to imply that it’s as simple
as ABC to shift weight if you have an eating disorder is ignorant and
small-minded.
Of course Ms Hopkins
would have no problem going back to her old eating and exercising habits - it’s
who she is and she’s clearly also someone with a naturally high metabolism. Although, as the rugby players pointed out
when they first saw her skeletal-bikini-clad bones, she could do with keeping
on a few of those gained pounds. Quite
frankly, she looked like an under-nourished ten year old with an old lady’s
head glued on top.
We are now all well aware that Ms Hopkins wouldn’t employ a
fat person - a statement she’s incredibly proud of. After learning more about her through this
programme, how would she feel if someone told her they wouldn’t offer her
employment because she’s epileptic? Not
nice, is it?
And now that we’ve been ‘enlightened’ on weight-loss, I
wonder if she’d like to try bulimia or anorexia for a few months - and then
oh-so-miraculously snap out of it. Or
how about alcoholism? Or here’s a good
one … pop your dressing gown on and sink into the depths of depression/panic
attacks/anxiety and then show all the sufferers how simple it is to shed your
gloom and start living again.
Because it’s really
that simple, isn’t it Katie?
Well said.
ReplyDeleteThis woman needs a hard slap around the head with a very frozen wet lettuce... or six!
ReplyDeleteHaving offended ginger haired people and people who give their kids less than traditional names... and therefore me (being married to a naturally ginger haired woman and having to boys with not-so-much run of the mill names), she only goes and infuriates me more (and a large chunk of my fellow countrymen and women) with her recent comments on the poor Scottish nurse who has ebola. She's added racist bigot and uneducated twat to her ever growing list of attributes.
I seriously hope she is not on the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother because I like my telly in one piece and I'd be seriously tempted to throw some of those wet lettuces at it should she appear and dare open her gob!
Totally agree, Amanda! So comforting to know that this stupid, arrogant 'celebrity' has a following. Thank God for posts like this! X
ReplyDeleteI wrote about this on my blog too, although I was nicer than you. But this was my main problem with the programme too, there was no appreciation of the psychological issues of being overweight.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I can't be nice where that woman is concerned! ;)
