IE - the Margaret Cho Diet

  • Awesome post by Margaret Cho. Disclaimer - lots of explatives!

  • She makes me laugh. Enjoyed the link, thanks for posting.
  • Yea I'm kind of prudish and dislike cursing but she's really hilarious and an interesting strong woman that goes against a lot of celebrity norms.
  • I LOVE Margaret Cho. I remember watching her do stand up and talk about how she did an all dried apricot diet once and pooped her pants in her car. I was rolling.
  • Thanks for the Cho link. I, for one, find her expletives invigorating. (As an aside, there was an article in this morning's paper about a new study suggesting that swearing is psychologically healthy. Having used this technique to deal with Toronto traffic jams, I have to agree.)

    I don't really curse but I do say "d*** it" when I stub my toe. And guess what, my toddler has picked it up so that one has to go too!
  • I wish I could do the fudge it diet. I tried that... look where it got me? it got me up to 243.6 pounds!
  • Thanks for sharing the link. It WAS funny, although it bothers me sometimes that comedians can't be funny without vulgarity.

    Wannabeskinny, it surprises me sometimes that my 5 year old grandson will pick up what we say when I didn't even think he was paying attention!
  • I'm on the fudge it diet and I've lost 5 solid pounds!
  • There is actually someone who has a website called the F- it "diet." The word is spelled out. I just came across her by accident a few days ago.

    She has some really good stuff to say about IE. She sends out newsletters as well.
  • Sigh. I've been on that diet, and I've gained about 20 lbs in the past six months. I would love to practice IE, but I guess my brain is so out of whack that I can't really tell what I want anymore.
  • Isn't this basically a portion control diet?

    No. It's not a diet.
