Special K commercial annoys me

Normal sized chick gets stuck in a KID'S chair.  Therefore she's fat and needs to diet.  It's a kid's chair for eff's sake.

This bothers me too. It's not as if she can't roll her blobby self out of a love seat or something. I know plenty of scrawny people that would get stuck in a child's chair.

Or the one where the Mom comes down in the red bathrobe and the kid makes a comment about her being Santa.

It's a 5 year old. Their imaginations are wild, and bathrobes are not flattering on anyone.

Exactly.  The chair has arms no less.  It's not like she broke an adults chair.

the whole "lose 6 lbs on the SK diet" translates into eating two meals of SK cereal. 

have you ever eaten that cereal and have it actually satisfy any sort of hunger pangs?

That's my main complaint, kat.  There is really not enough nutritional value in 2 cups of cereal for 2 meals that it's amazing people actually FOLLOW that diet.  Once you start going back to eating "normal" you'll gain back those 6 pounds plus a little more.

I've never found a SK cereal I liked. I pph kashi cereals, and fiber one flakes and nuggets or whatever it is. My fave is the meuslix cereal

I PPH kashi too.  It's just so much more tasty and filling.

I did this diet back in my 20's (when it was still possible to lose weight) and lost 10 pounds. You do get very sick of Special K quickly, although now they have more choices with bars and crackers. I tried doing it again recently and forget it, didn't lose one pound. My diet is already fairly low calorie and very low fat, so it made no difference.

But yeah, those commercials are annoying.

s/o low calorie - I caught bff looking at 1200 calorie diets. I didn't tell her I saw, but I'm a little worried. If she starts looking like a bag of bones I'll say something. Right now she eats pretty healthy.

**O-Face**

I honestly don't know anyone that would benefit from a 1200 calorie diet.  Maybe for a week.

Oh, this one makes my husband scream.

I hate the whole "Be Victorious!" over your body's natural shape, processes, and setpoint! CONQUER NATURE, YOU BAD FATTY!
