"Woman Upset At Herself For Feeling Hungry"

March 13th, 2009

I opened The Onion today and laughed when I read this tiny article:

MODESTO, CA—Telling friends that she “just ate a huge thing of yogurt four hours ago,” local woman Vanessa Stroud chided herself Tuesday for feeling hunger, a natural urge experienced by all living creatures to ensure they consume the sustenance necessary to maintain metabolic processes and other vital biological functions. “God, I have no willpower at all,” Stroud said regarding her inability to go without nourishment of any kind until the start of bikini season. “It’s just my stupid brain telling me I need to eat when what I really need is another three-day cleanse.” Stroud was later seen swatting her own hand as it reached out for a blueberry muffin.

It’s funny because it’s true, right? Happy Friday!

    I’m just glad that the onion is a humor site and that thier stories aren’t true…but maybe that was your point Mo?

    I find it kind of unsetteling still, only because it reminds me of when I was younger and in middle school-mid highschool days before I started to accept my body. I would fast for like 4 days at a time and when I got hungry and looked for food sometimes I would smack myself in the face to deter myself.

    Good lord writing this now I can’t even believe I used to be like that.

    Love it! It’s funny, but maybe it will also get a few folks to stop and think.

    It’s like the humor I experienced yesterday where I was working with a group of people, and a couple of the women mentioned they weighed themselves all the time. One of them said she wished she wasn’t so ruled by the number on the scale. Then, like 30 seconds later, she was talking about how much she loved the show The Biggest Loser.

    We are such creatures of paradox.

    This is one of those things that really funny but also really sad because you know there are people out there who think that way (if not to that extreme, then on a lesser scale).

    sad thing is – someone probably actually feels this way :(

    reminds me of joy nash’s Fat Rant video where she is at a meeting because she can’t stop compulsively eating…or peeing, pooping, breathing, and sleeping.
