What I have learnt from celebrities #1: Vanessa Feltz

Most fat celebs bleat on about how they love being "curvy" (which really means porky) They say how happy they are being fat and wouldn't change it for the world and everyone praises them for having so much self esteem and what a boost it is for fat people all over to see someone just like them on the TV.

We all know it's a lie and that they go home and cry and stuff their faces with fried cheese to blot out the pain. Then they get all evangelical after finding out their husband is cheating on them, they lose weight and appear on the cover of every magazine showing off their new slim line figure and talking about the new fitness video they bringing out so YOU TOO can lose weight just like them! Then they go nuts and put all the weight back on. Wow. What a role model, eh?

If Vanessa proved one thing it was that if you have the body and the personality of a prize pig then don't expect losing weight to make you any happier. If you are miserable now and you lose weight you will still be miserable, you will just take up less room while you do it.
