Gawker posted an article on this woman who tried "The Black Swan Diet" to lose five pounds before her wedding day. This meant all vegetarian meals, ballet classes, blah blah blah, you can read about it here. But the article, in a very non-Gawker like, non-snarky way, calls the woman out for trying a diet/exercise regimen that Natalie Portman did for a year to look the way she did. Not only does the author tell us that "endlessly vying to emulate her/him is only going to drive you as insane as she goes in the movie," there's this:
"They are famous people with nothing to do but diet, exercise, and tend to their bodies and they have unlimited resources and all sorts of assistance to do so. The rest of us have jobs, strange food cravings, lazy days, and incidental circumstances that keep us from the gym. There isn't something fundamentally wrong with us, we're just normal."
How about that. I've never been so happy to be normal. And Gawker, there may be hope for you yet.
