In this blog I hope to track my adventures in fitness, food justice, gardening and body acceptance. I will do so with a critical eye--examining how anti-fat bias, economics, class, sexism, urban (suburban and rural) development deprives us of satisfying movement, and how health is collective and personal.

Sara Rue Looses 50lbs, her Jenny Craig video makes me sad
I find this Jenny Craig video featuring Sara Rue really depressing--I'm not hating on Sara Rue for loosing weight! Its just, how much pressure there is for a beautiful woman (as Ms. Rue is skinny or curvy) to be thin is so overwhelming sometimes...not just in Hollywood, but on Mainstreet USA.
P.S. This video below is WAY less depressing because its chalk full of healthy living tips,
This one is a bit of a tear-jerker, but honest:
Sara Rue is an actress. She is also getting paid to do Jenny Craig. So her feelings may be authentic, but I am sure they were editied for max effect.
ReplyDeleteValerie spent tons of time tearing up in her commercials and blogs also.
