Can you imagine being a fat whore ordering your taco bell and Susan shows up? I would be terrified it was an intervention.

Where did all her money go? It's sad she wasn't able to save enough to support herself in the future.

She never deserved her fame, which was based on her haircut and a phrase, and she returned to a copacetic state she knew best. Don't think she was all that well mentally.

JLC just found the story that will get her a second Oscar, for leading role this time.

"Susan's brave journey from and to insanity, ALANON, holistic nutrition and fitness, and the LGBTQIA2S+ communities mirrors my own even braver life narrative. With this film, I have expanded the scope of the so-called biopic to encompass real empathy and healing, and I have accomplished this challenging work while walking the knife's edge between stopping and starting my own insanity."

$3mm in an index stock fund. $3mm in an index bond fund. Done. Set for life.

Some people are very scared of money management. It’s overwhelming and creates a lot of anxiety.

Why doesn't she go back to Australia, easier for an old and poor person there I would think.

Didn't it turn out that she made up her obesity narrative and that the women frequently shown in the 'before' picture always carted out wasn't even her or was doctored? It could very well be that this 'so poor that she had to deliver Grub Hub' could be cut from the same fraudulent cloth...

A little off-topic: I'll never forget back in the late 80s when my ex mother-in-law was CONVINCED that there was something in Slim Fast that actually helped you lose weight and refused to believe it was the calorie restriction part of the program ("2 shakes a day plus a sensible meal") that actually resulted in weight loss.

I wish they would have asked her if she still believes that "it's fat, you're fat" nonsense. Dangerous idea to push, especially to women, who need healthy fats even more than men.

During the height of her success, she was handing out terrible advice. "Fat makes you fat!" was complete bullshit. She had dieters substitute carbs for fat, when, of course, it's carbs that truly make you fat.

White trash and not the fun kind.

by Anonymousreply 59October 24, 2024 7:31 AM

The no-fat diet craze of the early 1990s was pretty pervasive, and I'm ashamed to admit I bought into it at the time. The rationalization was that calories and carbs could be ignored because the body burned them all up during the course of the day. I had a paperback book that listed the number of fat grams in all types of food and grocery products, and I dutifully looked up each item in my daily menu to ensure I stayed under the magic number of 20 grams. I did lose 30 pounds, but it was more about the portion control and healthier choices that came along with the fat avoidance.

Nope. That was Abby Bluestone (who really didn't look all that chubby in the film). She actually went on to become an agent who works mostly with child talent. I was referring to Marilyn Kagan who played Madge in Foxes and who had her own short-lived talk show in the mid-90s.

by Anonymousreply 66October 24, 2024 11:07 AM

I don't want to shade her because, let's be honest - it wouldn't take much for anyone to fall on hard times in their old age due to any number of reasons, but her in case: live by the grift, die by the grift. Her empire was built on sand and she was taken in by other people offering castles in the air. Sad, but not surprising

Anyone who successfully lost weight on the Atkins diet knew that "fat makes you fat" nonsense was the insanity that needed to be stopped.
