She has no medical or scientific knowledge/background of weight loss or fitness, and not even anecdotal or personal experience - she was "outed" as being a fraud who never was overweight; her whole story was a con. I'm not judging her orientation or politics; they are irrelevant to whether her advice was good - it wasn't. So yeah, definitely I won't be buying her new stuff.

And then when I was home sick yesterday, I was reading magazine--one of the fashion rags--and there was a whole article on her. She's an all-out lesbian now and hardcore feminist and anti-agribusiness. Way cooler than I ever thought she was. Still won't buy her new DVD's, though.

Works for some. Personally, I prefer quiet, contemplation and gentle encouragement. Different strokes! Glad you're back. How was the vac?
