Anarcissie…

Bulimia is no fun especially for others and besides you’re making fun!  And Bulimia doesn’t help those people already overweight.  I do know they are working on genetically altered tapeworms that will present less of a health hazard.  Can you imagine being able to lose weight without the need to diet——how much is that worth?——the overall benefits are limitless.

Parasites are good, but the more decadent Romans had an even simpler, cheaper method: they learned how to vomit at will.

This post may not be appropriate here, but since Egypt and extreme dieting were mentioned I feel I have a segue.  I predict that in 2009 we will see a medical procedure resurrected from the days of the pharaohs that will help people lose weight no matter how much they eat!  And that procedure is the therapeutic introduction of a suitable tapeworm into the human body.  People unable to lose weight through dieting or exercise or some other complication will now be able to lose weight as if by magic.  Of course the tape worm is competing for nutrients so the individual will have to take much supplements to compensate, but the weight will come off nonetheless.  When the weight loss is complete the tape worm is destroyed and the person will now have a chance to change their eating habits.  If not then another tapeworm can be introduced.

Possibly the ability to control one’s bodily appearance is reassuring in a world otherwise outside of control. Similar motives are thought to be behind body mods like
piercing and tattooing, and extreme dieting.

If so, I say, in the words of the song, “Whatever gets you through the night.”

Tis the season to “look marvelous.” All the rest is denial and that’s not some river in Egypt.

Like they say in LA, “Come for the silicone, stay for the botox.”

Okay, keep up the illusion that you are young and will be young-looking until you are 6 feet under.  Most people that live under this illusion are still bitter, angry and frustrated right up to the end.
