Lately I've been getting into reading the reviews on Amazon for different things. More to the point, I've been getting into the 1 star reviews. Dudes are harsh! I've love it! Some of the debates that start raging in the 1 star review comments are the more entertaining than the actual product, I think. Take the book Skinny Bitch. The author is vegan and I've never read the book but my guess is a majority of the people who have reviewed the book are not. The author (or authors, whatever) supposedly writes that people who eat meat are murderers with dead rotting flesh sitting in our stomachs. Mmm, dinner anyone? Apparently she preaches that to lose weight, one must start eating only vegies and salads. Yeah, I'd do well on that diet. We all know how much I just luurve my vegies. Anyhoo, there's also some great bitchiness for Bethenney Frankel's book Naturally Skinny because her motto is "Taste Everything, Eat Nothing". Most of the 1 star reviews for weight loss books boil down to the same "nothing new: eat less, move more blah blah". Which makes me wonder, why are people reading these books if they're not expecting the same advice in all of them? Anyone who has lost weight is going to say that all they did was eat less and move more. DUH! What, did the reviewers really think the authors were going to spill about that magical secret pill they took where the fat melted off and their muscles instantly toned up?
Actually, I think I might "waste my money" and buy the two books. At least they sound a little more original than eat less, move more.
I've been trying to eat well this week. Note the word trying. It's been so bloody hot and I've found myself addicted to icy poles. Especially splices where they're not quite an ice cream, and not quite an icy pole - they're both! I had about 3 last night, damn it. As well as the rest of the Bavarian pie. Yeah, I tend to have a little trouble with food at night, especially if I'm watching telly or a movie which we were: It's Complicated. In the movie, Meryl Streep's character owns a bakery and they set about baking chocolate croissants. Not tempting at all *eyeroll*. I couldn't have a choccy croissant so I had a couple of icy polecreams.
Oh shit, I think Melbourne's in for a fucker of a storm. I was going to attempt to try and work out tonight. Yeah, even I'm rolling my eyes with resigned scorn. It was never gonna happen. Why is it Victoria can never have a couple of nice, sunny days without some bitch of a storm coming and ruining it?
