Sigur, titlul e general si probabil vor urma multe alte posturi pe ideea asta. Punct de pornire - articolul asta din Daily Mail: trei persoane publice din U.K. care s-au ‘luptat’ cu kilogramele in plus si (bravo lor) au castigat. Cum? Mancare sanatoasa+sport regulat. Wow, incredibil secretul, asa-i? Ok, stim cu totii asta, ceea ce m-a intristat la articol insa este fragmentul in care prima tanti povesteste cum a ajuns sa fie obeza in primul rand: dupa ani de zile de subnutritie pentru ‘cariera’. Lucrezi in showiz? In majoritatea cazurilor tre’ sa fi ’schlembe’. Nimic nou, mai ales in Romania unde lipsa crasa de talent este compensata tocmai de aspectele fizice de ‘pisi sexy’.
‘I was basically blackmailed by my record company - they frightened me into thinking that if I put on weight our records wouldn’t sell and I’d lose everything. On occasions, my weight would fluctuate and almost immediately I was told by our record company, via my manager, to slim down. Soon I was barely eating, living on only a chocolate bar or a McDonald’s Happy Meal a day, yet regularly performing two-hour shows. On a two-week tour in Japan, my daily diet was one bowl of rice. My weight dropped to an unnatural eight stone. I was constantly tired and nicknamed ‘Lethargic Steps’ by my bandmates.’
Urmarea? ‘As soon as Steps disbanded in Christmas 2001, I just let go. Finally, I could consume what I wanted and not care what I weighed. It was so liberating.’
Cu cat privezi omul de ceva (sau il faci sa o faca singur), cu atat tanjeste mai mult dupa acel ceva, asa-i? Nu e o poveste noua, dar ramane trista de fiecare data cand e povestita. De ce conteaza imaginea? Pentru ca atunci cand tanti era grasa, nu o angaja nimeni! Si totusi, in Romania daca iesi la jogging pe strada ori in parc, inca se uita oamenii la tine ca la felul 7, de parca e culmea ceea ce faci. Astept ziua cand vor alerga prin parcuri batrane in colanti roz, tinand in maini greutati colorate, care fac sport NU pentru imagine ci pentru sanatate!
PS: Dragele mele, la jogging nu ne uitam decolteurile acasa, da?
