Average Lives Cannot Handle Celeb Diet Plans!
We all know that celebs have ridiculous diet plans and exercise techniques and schedules, but why do we allow ourselves to think that each of these mostly extreme weight loss ideas are good for us? So many of these celebs tell readers that they exercise nearly EVERY day of the week, sometimes for over two hours per day! Now, hardly any of us have time like this on our hands to devote to such prolonged sweat time, let alone with a five star trainer. The foods they include in their diets are expensive and often delivered to their homes ready to eat. The average woman hardly has the time to make it through her week normally, let alone with such weight loss dedication included. There are countless websites chock full of diet tips, recipes, and exercise plans. Tell me, how many of you would be willing and or/pumped to follow these tactics? (Especially something as hard core as fasting for 21 days!)

While I think it's important to note that some people are not aware of how much photographs are digitally altered, I feel like most women are more than aware of this fact--and yet still feel held to the standard because THAT'S what others call beautiful and desirable. It seems like this need is rooted in a cultural mandate to be visually valuable--and we have a really narrow definition of what that is.
How do you think we can encourage a more accepting society that views a wide variety of appearances as beautiful--and never devalues someone when they don't fit those views?
I know as a college student taking 18 credits, working 10 hours a week, being involved in a sorority and having a boyfriend. I barely have time to shower, eat or sleep, let alone diet or exercise. I also don't have the money for a personal trainer to come drag my a** out of bed and make me work out. I remember reading a women's health magazine at the dentist office and they were talking about how much it costs for Heidi Montag of the Hills to look the way she does. She spends more than $1,000 a month on just her hair. Maybe I'm too thrifty, but $60 a year seems like a lot for me to spend on my hair.
