I just watched the movie Norbit, a romantic comedy with funny man Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy did another great job of playing all these different characters in the movie. At first I thought it was a bit ‘old news’ that Eddie Murphy was doing that again. Kind of made me wonder if the bosses made Murphy do it to justify his probably insane paycheck. But I have to admit, the amount of times I was laughing my butt off made it worth it.

Synopsis: It’s Eddie Murphy ‘as you love to see him!’ in this gut-bustingly funny movie that displays his comedic genius in multiple roles! Murphy star as mild-mannered Norbit, who gets a second chance at love with his childhood sweetheart, Kate (Thandie Newton, The Pursuit of Happyness). But there’s one huge obstacle: jealous, mean-tempered Rasputia (Murphy), who wants Norbit all to her sizeable self. Can Norbit win the heart of Kate…before Rasputia puts the hurt on him? With an all-star cast including Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire), Marlon Wayans (White Chicks) and Eddie Griffin (Date Movie), Norbit ‘will make you laugh ’til you cheer!’

One of the parts I absolutely loved is the part in the waterpark and Rasputia shows “How a b*tch goes off a waterslide”. I was laughing so hard that I thought I was running out of air. All in all it is a good movie to spend a boring afternoon or evening with. Just be careful when you drink something or it will be spraying out of your nose before you know it.

We live a very materialistic society. It’s all about the bling bling, having a beautiful house, the most fashionable clothes, the biggest car, looking beautiful and the list goes on and on. We want to have what we see in the magazines and on TV and most of all; we want to look like the models in the magazine ads and television commercials. But guess what? Even the models don’t look like that! The models in the ads are photo-shopped to perfection and ready to attack our insecurities.

One of my old friends likes to follow every trend and has tried all sorts of different diet pills, diets, shakes and even had some liposuction. She jumps on every new weight loss band wagon. Personally I prefer to eat sense-able and exercise to get rid of my extra pounds, but I know that for a lot of people that simple solution takes too long and they prefer some extra help.

It’s scary to think what some women (and man) will do to reach their ideal (sometimes unrealistic) weight. And the weight loss industry loves playing in on that. How many different diet books come out on the market? How many new diet pills and shakes are put on the shelve each year? It’s a million (if not billion) dollar industry. With so many options it is easy to get confused about what the best solutions are. That’s why you should do some research about what the best meal plans, diet pills and training programs are.

For a meal plan you can see a qualified dietitian who can make a meal plan designed for your needs, while you could see a personal trainer for a trainings program to speed up the weight loss process. If that is not enough and you want to take diet pills to assist you in your weight loss journey, you might want to check out researchdietpills.com. At researchdietpills.com they have a comprehensive list of the best diet pills with customer reviews, expert reviews, and results of clinical studies.

The other day I was watching Airline USA on TV. I always like watching that program because it gives you a bit of an inside on how an airport works and what kind of problems arise. In one incident their was an overweight man who got forced to buy an extra ticket because of his size. I don’t know how much he weighted, but it was enough to NOT fit into one airplane seat; he needed at least two seats to be comfortable. I felt a bit sorry for him - almost started to think it was discrimination - but I could also understand the reasoning of the airline. If he needed two seats it would mean someone else was missing out on that seat and therefor they could not sell that seat to someone else. He would however get a refund if they had some seats empty on his flight.

Yesterday I was sitting on the train and a situation occurred that made me think about that TV show again. It was in the middle of rush hour - all the city workers were going home after a ‘hard’ day of work. I sat down at a spot that could fit 4 normal sized people, but before my hubby could sit next to me an overweight woman sat in ‘one’ of the four seats. She was so big that her bum occupied two seats. The seat opposite of her was still empty, but my husband could not sit there unless he could fold his legs into his neck. I was a bit disappointed that he could not sit next to me and that he was forced to stand up for the whole trip.

Like I said before, it made me think about that TV show again and how that overweight guy had to pay extra because of his size. I started to wonder if it was fair that because one person is overweight two other people are missing out on a seat (it was rush hour so lots of people had to stand up in the train for a 45 minute trip). I can understand that people who are so overweight (we’re talking about people who are at least over 100lbs overweight) find it difficult to stand for so long so you can’t expect them to give up their 2/3 seats for other people. But should other people suffer because of them? Should overweight people have to pay extra for the extra seats they are occupying? What do you think?

At the moment I am reading like my life depends on it. No… not really, but once I start reading I can’t put my books down. Very annoying when you know you should be mowing the lawn, cleaning the house, do some shopping, etc. But I can’t help myself.

Lately I have been reading a lot of books by Louise Bagshawe. Her books are about powerful women in high octane situations. It is kind of strange that I read about women who are so differently from myself. In a way I can’t really relate to them, but I do love to read about them, even though I usually know how the book is going to end after reading the first couple of chapters. Her novels are just so easy to read and you just turn page after page after page until you’ve finished it.

Currently I am reading When she was bad. Little sneakpeak: Lita and Rebecca are worlds apart. From the tough streets of the Bronx, Lita is determined to succeed whatever the cost. Privileged Rebecca has never wanted for anything. And when she inherits an estate in England, it’s just the start of a whole new life. Linked by betrayal, Rebecca and Lita are set against each other. Until they discover that revenge can be very sweet indeed . . .
