My Strange Addiction Show

Posts: 1,139
Ok normally I do not watch TV but I'm super bored and nursing my baby to sleep right now. This show is on and this girl is addicted to tanning..and I just had to say this~
She's saying things like "people always warn me about premature aging but that's what botox and plastic surgery and face lifts are for!'
She definitely understands that it can cause skin cancer etc..but I almost screamed when she said the above. Geez- none of the above : face lifts, botox, or plastic surgery can reverse skin damage caused from the sun - and this girl is roasting constantly. Idk- it just drives me nuts that she doesn't even realize that!
Thanks, end of crazy TV land moment for me.

Oh I saw that one. That girl looked nasty. She was so dark/orange it just looked weird. I can't figure out how she thinks she looks good.0

She is addicted obviously but ..just..the fact..that she wouldn't even bother to do one simple google search on what ages your skin. Also the fact that everything she mentioned that 'cures' aging is a mechanical act upon your body vs the likely chemical alterations that would be required to reverse skin aging..just boggles me!0

People dont take into account what will happen to them. Nor do they care. Everyone thinks there is a magic cure for everything and there isn't. My mom had gastric bypass cause she didn't want to do the work, and now it a forced belimic skeleton. I love her to death but she got sick and almost died from it. THERE IS NO EASY SOLUTION!! Just do the work people and stop b****ing about it. You got yourself in whatever situation your in now fix through hard work... but thats not the way the world works i guess. I'm cool with being like Yea i stuffed my face with mexican food, Carl's Jr, and everything else. Yea i got my self fat and out of shape. yea it's my fault now watch and this fat caterpiller turns into a butterfly.0

LOL Kelli..I just had to rant because I want to slap her with Google. Get on the freaking internet and do a normal search and you shall find out!! You could go on a freaking stupid corporate website for 'oil of olay' and they will explain it to you!0

That show is crazy! Have you seen any of the other ones? Some people are addicted to eating chalk or addicted to eating cigarette ashes and one was addicted to eating the foam in couch cushions...... WTH? If I had one of these "strange" addictions I sure wouldn't be going on TV and announcing it to the world. I guess we all have our addictions, mine is obviously food, but SERIOUSLY?0

Yeah I KNOW. It's on TV right now while I'm just nursing my baby away. Yes...I would never ever go on a show to talk about how I love stuffing my own panties in my mouth or something WTH. Wouldn't you be embarrassed? Maybe they offer free counseling or something..idk.0

I've seen that show. I didn't watch the one last night but I saw a little piece of it. Years ago when I lived in Kansas, some of the ladies I worked with were really into tanning with tanning beds. Their skin looked so damaged and leathery but they thought they looked great because they were so darkly tanned. I don't care what people think about me, I'll stick with being my pale, glow in the dark skin. At least I won't have to worry so much about getting skin cancer.
Alos there was a lady on that show that was addicted to eating toilet paper. Now why in the world would you even start eating that stuff in the first place?! Really?!0 -

was that the one with the chick that likes to eat cleanser0 -
Yes--
And also noted: it's women. Women are the ones with crazy, idiotic, stupid addictions. One guy had a lift a car or boulder addiction- I'd say that's better than tanning or cleanser or pottery or toilet paper!0 -
Anyone see the one about the poor girl who pulled out her hair...AND ATE IT?
I sometimes thank God I am only marginally abnormal....0 -

Not to mention it can all go back on. You can stretch your belly little by little. I was in Weight Watchers with alot of women who had gastric bypass surgery. They gained it back and then some! They never really learned how to eat right. I have heard people say if I can only eat a teaspoon at a time I'm going to make it something that tastes good (unhealthy). I have met one women who's hair was falling out! You have to take mega vitamins at certain times of the day (not all at once) just to stay normal. I feel like you'll have to change your life alot more after letting them cut into you, why not just change it to be healthier without major surgery.0 -

There was one where the girl was addicted to the foam in the couch cushions! She said she liked the darker parts best. The darker parts are just dirtier!0 -
I wonder how many calories are in toilet paper and couch cushions? LOL0

And years ago my mom was concerned because my son was eating dirt. :laugh: He was a toddler at the time and we had just gotten back from a walk and she noticed he was crunching on something. Turns out it was dirt. She thought there was something he wasn't getting in his diet. Yeah, like maybe roughage? :laugh: :laugh:0
