Margaret Cho's Diet

Natalie sent over information on Margaret Cho's new anti-diet of sorts. It sounds like she's met self-acceptance and a copy of Overcoming Overeating, and the results are quite good.
I never deny myself a fucking thing because I have denied myself enough for 1000 lifetimes and there is no more denial for me in the way that I live. I deserve all the mozzarella sticks, all the fucking chocolate, all the fucking pizza, all the chicken a'la king, and I deserve to leave what I don't finish on the plate.

This, uh, contains explicit language, as you can imagine. But go read it. Cho lost some weight and a few people jumped to conclusions (ie, WLS), but she's responded quite well here.

Is that the correct link? I'm getting tossed to a Colorado recycling site and I'm not seeing anything about Margaret Cho on that webpage. Am I just missing something or is the link broken? Thanks.

Heh. :) My clipboard didn't quite cooperate with me - the link is fixed. Sorry!

turtlegrrl November 8th, 2003 | Link | It sounds like a good dose
It sounds like a good dose of Hirschmann & Munter to me. Of course, not all of us who live this way get thinner, but it is a healthy way to go. I wish her well. And when in hell has she ever been anywhere NEAR large enough so anyone would think she had WLS?
Natalie November 8th, 2003 | Link | When she had her sitcom back
When she had her sitcom back in the early 90's, the network basically forced her to diet to a point where her kidneys failed and she was in the hospital. As she says in her absolutely hysterical show, _I'm The One That I Want_, she had to lose weight to play *herself*. Appalling.
turtlegrrl November 8th, 2003 | Link | You just gotta LOVE
You just gotta LOVE Hollywood! The bastards! I am sorry to see that she also gave up exercise, but maybe she will learn to enjoy movement again one day soon & learn to divorce exercise from weight loss & punishment.

I love Margaret Cho! Glad to hear she hasn't succumbed to the weight loss ripoff-du-jour!
