While I was sucking down water and aspirin earlier today, trying to shed my hangover, I started thinking about how judgmental I can be. I mean, why should I have instantly freaked out when I heard someone named Barbie was going to be my trainer? Sure, the name brings up images of gorgeous girls with long blonde hair, shiny white teeth, deep tans, and impossible-to-achieve, completely enviable figures, but maybe this Barbie is different.<BR> Maybe Trainer Barbie is a dark, homely girl with an overbite and she took up fitness to feel better about her hump and her skin condition. Yes, that's it. Barbie is all hideous and disfigured and she will have a heart of gold and because of this, she'll be devoted to nothing but making me lose weight…<BR> I stand by the magazine rack and I'm about to pull out this week's In Touch when I hear my name being called. I turn around and look for my gargoyle of a trainer.<BR><BR> But I don't see any monsters.<BR><BR> All I see is a gorgeous girl with long blonde hair, shiny white teeth, a deep tan, and an impossible-to- achieve, completely enviable figure standing there. "Hey, are you Jen?" she asks. "I'm Barbie!"<BR><BR> Of course you are. 2207811 6 5 2008 Such a Pretty Fat: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover if Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big, or Why Pie is Not the Answer total:3689|5:1330|4:1438|3:691|2:178|1:51| 3689 14887 5973 869 5 4 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 04:31:42 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 04:32:11 -0700 2008 Memoirs By Nature Are Narcissistic
Think about it. You are the writer. The subject is you. The story is of your experiences based on the ideas generated by you. You have to spend a lot of time with yourself and like yourself enough to put it out there for the world to judge. And they DO judge! ...more...]]> 2 2 true false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 29 06:15:51 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 03:58:47 -0700 2008
But the author's writing style grates on me after a while and I really feel so much of this book was filler. She proposed a book about her experiences with weight loss, and then spends too much of the book talking about her book proposal. ...more...]]> 1 2 false false Mon Jun 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 20:30:42 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 18:00:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 true false Wed Jan 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 10:09:51 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 18:57:42 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 14 13:26:20 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 15 18:46:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Oct 16 14:55:14 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 15:08:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 08:10:20 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 08:19:54 -0700 2008 Fearless Fourteen.)
