I mean, it’s obvious. One look at her and you can see where we’re
all heading if we don’t tackle this global obesity crisis head on:
Fatty Boombah Town.
So it was a huge relief to see a photograph of Fat Posh buying a
diet book last month. Let’s hope she went straight home, kicked off
those $2000 shoes, poured herself a low fat beverage and got busy
learning how to shed flab.
The ‘Skinny Bitch’ diet promises to help, so long as Posh is
prepared to give up meat and dairy and eat only organic. She won’t be
alone if she does this because Skinny Bitch is the hottest new diet
book in America where sales have jumped 674 percent since Posh was seen
buying her copy.
It’s not easy being a skinny bitch but it’s worth it, according to
the book which I was ready to hate but actually think is quite
fabulous.

Remember “He’s Just Not That Into You”? This is the diet version of
that book. No tiptoeing around the issue. No punches pulled. No
nicey-nice. Just tell it straight.
If he doesn’t call you? He
doesn’t like you. If you want to be skinny? Eat less junk. Or, as
Skinny BItch puts it “You cannot keep shovelling the same crap into
your mouth every day and expect to lose weight.”
Aren’t we a hopeless society in denial if we need to buy books to
tell us the most basic truths. And why are these books always aimed at
women? Wait, I know. Because women like me buy them by the truckload.
Are men better at accepting reality? Do they have more common sense? Or
are women just desperate for an expert to tell them what to do and
EXACTLY how to do it? Blink. Pause. Now blink again. Wait, did you
remember to breathe in and out while you were blinking? Start again.
That will be $29,95 thanks!

To generalise that we, "buy (diet books) by the truckload" is somewhat insulting to those of us who don't get sucked into the body image stuff (not to mention young women who might be influenced by what you're suggesting here). We get a hard enough time from men; do we really need to belittle each other as well? Don't get me wrong - I'm not the 'fun-police-femmo' type (just the everyday variety), but I would really love to see you use your powers of witty articulation for good sometimes, rather than evil!
I would not be surprise if she deeply insecure.Easy prey for Tom Cruise.
