Say it ain’t so! As I walked past the Jenny Craig in my neighborhood, I was stunned to see the Queen on the spokesperson poster! Here is a woman who was recently on the front of (I think) People magazine, celebrating her curves. She has had an extremely successful career with movies and Revlon and now this?
While I admit I do not have all the facts at this hour, I must admit I was more than sad, confused and over the top crazy with this news. Here is a woman who really has an influence on women and teens and wants to now “get healthy.” With Jenny?!
I’m not against getting healthy and/or the desire to change the shape of your body. It’s the degrading diet mentality that still blows my mind and yet it continues to be a 50+ BILLION DOLLAR industry! Ladies…what are we doing?
YES – get healthy. Eat your fruits and veggies, move your body at least 30 minutes a day, sleep well (which they say is about 7 hours a night) and drink lots of water. These are the basics and the foundation. If we could get that much into our daily lives, I think we’d all feel a whole lot better.
There is no magic. There is no special pill. Maybe the Queen believes she will shed a few and get healthy. In the meantime, I plan to write her a letter. :)
good idea.
What did you write and did have the courtesy to respond?
