Day 9 Celebrity Weight Loss?

Do those celebrity weight loss stories get your goat? Who do they seriously think they're kidding? What woman wouldn't lose weight working with a personal trainer, a personal chef, a personal nutritionist, personal assistant, chauffeur, hair stylist, make up artist, house manager, butler, landscape artist, nanny, personal shopper, private Pilates studio, Olympic sized pool, indoor gym, tennis courts, running track? Strip away all that stuff and you betcha that Leah Rimini would have just as much of a challenge clicking through 1500 calories and pumping her quads off as you do.
What so newsworthy about a celebrity losing weight? Their stories baffle me. And I am supposed to be inspired how? I don't know any woman, or human who could relate to their testimonies. Now, show me a 20po who drags herself out of bed at the crack of dawn, grabs a five minute shower, wiggles into an outfit that's still hanging over a chair (because there was no time to run it to the dry cleaners), wakes up catatonic kids, shells out Pop Tarts like a blackjack dealer, tosses in a load of laundry, packs four lunches, signs a permission slip while brushing her teeth, throws the laundry into the dryer, takes the dog out, car pools two kids to two different schools, is replying to emails at her office desk by 8:00 a.m., works all day, speeds home to take Kid A to football practice, slaps together a meatloaf, folds the laundry, helps build a paper maiche volcano, eats dinner, cleans up the kitchen while quizzing Kid B on vocabulary words, tosses in another load of laundry, runs back to school to pick up Kid A, bakes two dozen Oatmeal Scotchies for the debate team, takes the pooch out for a quick walk around the block all before 8:00 p.m. and still manages to stay on the "Plan", and I'll show you a woman I can relate to. She's newsworthy and deserving of a People Magazine spread.
Think how easy it would be to lose weight if we never had to go near food, except to eat what was served to us by our personal chef on a silver domed platter in our dressing room on the set. Can you imagine never having to confront the aromas and sight of a pan of double fudge brownies on an empty stomach? You'd never have to enter a grocery store when your hunger is hitting a 10 on the starvometer. You'd never have to worry about putting a meal on the table for anybody, packing lunches, baking bake sale cookies, buying Snickers for Halloweeners, making holiday stollen or icing birthday cakes. Every food related task would be done for you including the circuit design for your training program. That would be great, wouldn't it? Or would it?
The 20/90 Plan is designed by you, planned by you, executed by you and carried out by you. You don't need anything or anyone else to take your weight off. You only need yourself. You, and only you, will receive the credit. Remember when Oprah proudly dragged the little Red Flyer fat wagon onto the stage of her t.v. show? It was piled high with fat, equalling the blubber she lost on Optifast. I wonder if crow was on her diet plan because she sure had to eat alot of it when she gained all the weight back while 74 bzillion viewers watched? I was sure inspired, weren't you?
