I admit to being a fashion junkie.. I have a wardrobe of clothes to prove it and I won't even start on the shoes.. I love TV shows about fashion, about what to wear and hat not to wear. But lately I have been wondering whether shows like Gok's are simply excuses not to lose a bit of weight..
As most of you would know, Gok takes people who loathe their body, for what ever reason, and transforms their views and whole outlook on clothes. I LOVE the concept, for I to admit to feeling "blah" on many occasions and not being able to find a thing to wear (refer back to paragraph 1; even I know that is a ridiculous statement!).
I feel too fat, too frumpy, I worry about, as Gok would put it, my "bangers" and my butt.. Then I tell myself to toughen up and get dressed. The more I watch shows about women who need a transformation, the more I think we have become a world that accepts that being over weight is okay. No, it's not okay. It's unhealthy.
So maybe Gok et al need to encourage women to change their mind set on everything as well as what they wear to look good. I know the likes of Gok, Trinny and Susannah etc try but perhaps they need to make it a part of their shows every week - transform your mind, your body and your habits.
Just a thought. And for the record I am not a size 6; I am a 12 (on a good day) to 14 (on a bad day); who knows she could do to lose a bit of weight and look after herself just that little more.
