Nia Vardalos on Weight Loss
June 12th, 2009
What’s the big fat deal?: Funny essay from Nia Vardolas, star of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” on the continual questions she gets about her 40-pound weight loss.
[…] they don’t want to hear the truth: I had a blood sugar problem so my Doctor ordered me to lose weight, it was really hard but I did it through diet, exercise and it took a year.
This is when the boredom sets in on the querying person. I might as well just shove an Ambien up their nostril. The gleam in their eye fades and they get sleepy.
No one wants to hear the facts about weight loss. It’s simple. Take that bag of Doritos and throw it as far as you can. Now chase after it. Pick it up, do it again.
What’s funnier is that she apparently titled the essay “What’s the big ass deal?” but was edited down by CNN…except for the URL, which still reads:
