Super Slim Me: Part Two
This week, Dawn Porter goes to Los Angeles to further her goal to get to a Size Zero.
She goes to Barry’s Boot Camp in West Hollywood to see how the celebrities workout. She also interviews Debbie Matenopoulos, who has been a size zero on how she maintains her weight. She said:
“The thinner that people become the more roles [in Hollywood] that they seem to get. Right now I’m a size 2-4, but I was a size zero. I’m a size 25 jean.”
She stands up and shows Dawn her waistline. Dawn asks, “How do you maintain that?” Debbie replies,
“You don’t eat. It’s a HARD thing. It’s so easy to get caught up in it. I went on a fast for 18 days and did not eat food. Not an ounce. I was drinking these Chinese herbs, this brown water, and doing yoga and being very sad. And I kept saying, ‘I’m very calm. Food just distracts you from really what’s going on.” All my friends kept saying, ‘You don’t have oxygen going to your brain. That’s why you think this.'”
THAT’S what people are doing to get to size zero.
Next week, Dawn goes to Venice Beach to see if normal people are just as obsessed with being size zero as the celebrities in Hollywood.

It makes me so sad in the beginning when she is trying on clothes – size 4 – and it does not fit! I would LOVE to be a 6! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! That was a real eye opener for me (well, that and the whole “you don’t eat” think 😉 )
