Arthur Boorman, a disabled Veteran who weighed close to 300 pounds, was struggling with his disabilities, his weight, and the lack of control in his life. He had given up on himself, had settled for being unable to walk and “being a piece of furniture.” But then he discovered a work-out that would change his life, created by an ex-WWE superstar Diamond Dallas Page–a pumped-up form of yoga that would help him to lose 140 pounds and walk again.
It sounds like a story almost too far out to be true, but it is. And it’s one of the most inspiring stories I have heard in a long time.
Arthur Boorman, before and after
I had never heard of DDP before this story broke, but ABCNews explains
DDP was invented by Diamond Dallas Page, an extreme former wrestler who thought yoga could use a new intensity. We all know yoga can build strength and flexibility, but it can also be the key to significant weight loss by creating a slow, deep resistance to each movement, getting the body working against itself.
It also encourages…[followers to] change the way they eat, including more vegetables and less processed food. Key to keeping the weight off, they say, is that they lost it gradually. It took more than a year of sustained work for each of them.
Wow. First of all, can you imagine losing 140 pounds? That’s an entire person! I can barely lose 5…And going from unable to walk around without great difficulty and assistance to doing high-intensity yoga moves?? It’s just incredible. I needed some inspiration in this often dark, dark world and I really truly am moved by this amazing undertaking and accomplishment.

Humor Inspiration: FML May 2012 Edition
The other night, I awoke with a start from my slumber with this thought in my brains: “DID I POST AN FML EDITION FOR MAY YET ON HANGRYHIPPO?!” Yes, folks, this blog is literally keeping me awake at night. That scares me. But anyways, life could be a lot worse, right!? And that’s the point of these FML’s, to give us a bit of perspective, particularly in the weight/body image/food/health categories. It could always be worse.
See, Margot knows: It Could Always Be Worse
- Today, I found out that my wife purposefully eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to get out of kissing me. I’m deathly allergic to peanuts. FML.
- Today, I finally decided to tell my mother, a former Miss North Carolina winner, that I was several weeks pregnant. She immediately burst into tears and hugged me. She kept saying “Thank god, thank god.” At first I was relieved. Then she said “I thought you were just getting fat.” FML.
- Today, I was asking my one year old nephew what noises certain animals make. I decided to trick him and ask him what sound I make. He immediately says “MOOOOO.” FML.
- Today, I realized my girlfriend only has sex with me to make me exercise. FML.
- Today, while in bed with my fiancee, I asked her to take off her pants so we could get it on. She said “No, I don’t feel like squeezing into them again.” I was cockblocked by a pair of jeans. FML.
- Today, while helping my mom to cook, I was reminded that when the fire alarm goes off in our house, dinner is ready. FML.
- Today, my husband and I worked together on a very difficult yard project. Afterwards, I thanked him and offered him a special treat. He was disappointed to find I meant sex, not cookies. FML. [Ed. note: Cookies always win]
- Today, my mother yelled at me for standing too close to the microwave. Her reason? The radiation was going to seep through, kill my sperm and cause cancer. FML.
- Today, I bout my mother an apple pie. She made a face at it and said that she’d decided to go on a diet. After I’d left the house, she put it in the oven, forgot about it, and burnt it to a crisp. She then called me up to inform me that I’d wasted my money, and to get her “another damn pie.” FML.
- Today, it’s my girlfriend’s birthday. I presented her with an oil painting of her that I’d been working on for over a month, and she started to cry. I thought it was because she liked it, until she asked if she really looks that ugly and disproportionate in real life. FML.
- Today, I was having lunch at McDonald’s when I dropped a French Fry down my shirt. It stuck out the top of my bra. Before I had the chance to remove it, a creepy man picked it out and ate it saying that it was the best French fry he had ever eaten. FML.
- Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. FML.
- Today, I noticed that I have gained enough weight to give me back boobs. FML.
Oh life. You never fail to disappoint. Personally, my recent FML’s have been that I’ve put on weight (FML); that while my African drum/dance class is leaving for Ghana today, I am stuck living back at home and working my old messy job (FML); that I’m so tired all the time that I’m starting to question if I have some rare disorder (FML)…and the list goes on.
But there’s always a bright side, right? For instance, I am going to see this fabulous performer tonight. Double woot!
What is your FML of the day/week/month? Do share!

The other day I was explaining to dear friend of mine and #1 commenter on this blog SexyCurmugeon about how WordPress tracks the “Search Terms” that lead folks to your blog. We were having a lovely chat with a fellow blogger, DistrictofColumbaloney, and began to discuss how absurd and hilarious some of these terms that bring readers to us are. So, I’ve decided to post some of my absolute favorites for your personal enjoyment. And if you’ve come to this site for any of these terms, I invite you to please stay. Because I appreciate all that you’re searching for, even if it confuses me a teensy bit.
This could be you, dear readers!

And there you have it! From a hippo with a foul mouth to a Russian milkshake (thanks google translate…), HangryHippo has inspired some truly wonderful searches on the wasteland that is the internets.
I will leave you with this youtube video that I found by googling “internet is crazy” called “Viral Video Film School: Best of Crazy Online Communities” where the #1 youtube commenter says
“Hippo giving birth to a motorcycle”
probably the only place you’ll ever hear that sentence…
thereby giving HangryHippo a personal goal to use that sentence so it will become a future search term. Oh, I just did. Booya.

Obesity & Pets: Meow
Meow the 39 pound cat was making the talk show circuit recently, with appearances on the likes of Today and Anderson Cooper, as a sad example of how obesity is even affecting our pets. And even more sadly, he passed away this week at only 2 years old due to pulmonary failure caused by his obesity.
RIP Meow
I’ve posted about obesity in the animal kingdom before, but this is a truly tragic example of how our diets and the foods we’re allowing into our bodies are destroying us and those dependent on us. Apparently Meow was given to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society after his elderly owner could no longer care for him, but he came in extremely obese and the goal was for him to lose weight in a healthy manner while in foster care before he can even be put up for adoption. Adult cats typically weigh between 7 and 12 pounds.
It’s especially sad in cases like these, with children and pets, who lack control over their situations and surroundings and are dependent on others to be fed and nourished properly. There are good people fighting this, such as the director of the Animal Shelter, who said
“We are devastated,” said Mary Martin, executive director of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society, which was caring for the obese orange-and-white tabby. “We were in a race against time to get the weight off Meow before he developed complications from his obesity, and we lost.”
But Martin hopes Meow will not have died in vain. “We hope his fight will encourage other people to help their pets maintain the best health possible,” she said. “Obesity is not something to be ignored.”
but Martin is right, we all need to educate ourselves and join the fight, especially if we take responsibility for another life. RIP Meow.

I’m signed up to get petition emails from Change.org, a “social action platform that empowers anyone, anywhere to start, join, and win campaigns for social change. Millions of people sign petitions on Change.org each month on thousands of issues, winning campaigns every day to advance change locally and globally,” and am consistently impressed with the types of movements that they support and help gain momentum.
Ironically, right after creating my last post about Celebrities that started out with a link to a photoshopping expose, I received this petition in my inbox:
In September of 2008, Miley Cyrus appeared on the cover of Seventeen magazine looking visibly thinner than she did in real life – she was fifteen years old at the time.
Julia Bluhm is 13 years old, and she says she feels the pressures created by these fake photos every day.
“I’m in a ballet class with a bunch of high school girls,” Julia says. “On a daily basis I hear comments like: ‘It’s a fat day,’ and ‘I ate well today, but I still feel fat.’”
Seventeen‘s editors freely admit they retouch photos — one of the magazine’s editors even wrote, “You know how everyone says celebrities look good in photos because they’re airbrushed? Well, it’s true!”
But these fake photos have a real impact on young girls. Nearly half of girls between first and third grade say they want to be thinner. And by the age of ten, 81% of girls say they’re “afraid of getting fat.”
Some magazines are beginning to respond to this crisis. In February, Glamour magazine asked its readers whether using photoshop to “make someone look 5 pounds thinner was ok.” After the overwhelming majority of readers said no, the magazine made a pledge not to use photoshop to “alter body size” on any of its featured models or celebs. Now readers will see pictures of women who look more like them.
Seventeen magazine can lead the way in changing this for teens, too, and they can start with just one photo spread a month. Julia thinks that this small step could be the start of something big for girls, no matter their size.
How great! And it’s so simple, one photo spread a month! It will be interesting to see how Seventeen reacts to this. When you read the original petition letter, the organizer states “Girls want to be accepted, appreciated, and liked. And when they don’t fit the criteria, some girls try to “fix” themselves. This can lead to eating disorders, dieting, depression, and low self esteem…Here’s what lots of girls don’t know. Those “pretty women” that we see in magazines are fake. They’re often photoshopped, air-brushed, edited to look thinner, and to appear like they have perfect skin. A girl you see in a magazine probably looks a lot different in real life.“
It’s about time we had a movement like this. I signed, will you?

Grocery Shopping On A Diet = Groundhog Day
Your food is boring.
Your choice of restaurants is boring.
Your experimental cooking is boring.
And as I noticed this weekend, your grocery shopping is boring.
When you’re a kid/an adult who doesn’t care about his weight, grocery shopping is like a bi-weekly Christmas for your stomach.
Media Spot-Lite: Celebrity Round-Up
A few months ago, I did a “Celebrity Smorgasbord” post and recently have come across an absurd amount of articles on celebrities and their various weight issues, so I’ve decided to do another round-up. Celebrities: a hot mess, just like us!
Another “Celebrities Without Make-up/Photoshopping is out of control” reel from Yahoo! Shine
When the original unretouched cover photo from Redbook’s July 2007 issue surfaced, the singer said she was disappointed by the altered photo. Redbook stood by the image saying, “the retouching we did on Faith Hill’s photo for the July cover is completely in line with industry standards.” We think she looked pretty darn good in the original image.
Posh Spice: Standing on super high heels For The General Public!
Posh Spice: Size 2 Fashion Designer: Just Like You And Me!
She told Harper’s Bazaar: ‘We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever and then I say “OK, I’m going to put it on. I stand for the general public here”. It’s how I work. I found it really difficult when I was pregnant and I couldn’t do that. It’s part of the process – I’ll stand here in my knickers and start draping fabric over myself. It was very hard when I didn’t have my body.’
This is beautiful.
Adele: Trying to Lose Weight, Get Healthy, Fit in
She was called ‘too fat’ by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld – and now Adele is shedding the pounds.
The singer and her charity campaigner boyfriend Simon Konecki, 36, have each lost almost a stone in the past month by following a strict vegetarian diet. The couple also go jogging with Adele’s dog Louie every morning.
‘The weight is dropping off them and they plan to keep dieting until the end of April,’ says a friend of the 23-year-old Grammy winner, who lives with Simon in a rented £6million pile in West Sussex.
‘They are inseparable – they are losing weight together, getting fit together and planning a future together. Adele says she’s doing her best work and feels healthier than she has for months.’
But also getting a ton of free Chanel purses out of prior blasphemy!
Besties Forever?
Kate Winslet on Leo DiCaprio Becoming a Fatty
“We do look very different, we’re older. Leo’s 37, I’m 36 – we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he’s fatter now – I’m thinner. It’s true though!”
Suck it, Idiots!!
Jennifer Lawrence on Criticism For Being “Too Fat” For The Hunger Games
‘This is hilarious. First, people say how so many actresses in Hollywood look anorexic, and now they are criticizing me for looking normal,’” the source recalled. The actress reportedly added that overly thin body images “are too often adopted by young girls and women — thanks to what they are constantly being shown as being attractive.”
Hot mess, hot mess, hot mess! I appreciate Adele trying to get healthy, and Jennifer Lawrence standing up for her bodacious bod, but I’m totally cracking up at Posh and a little disappointed at Winslet’s humor! Also, has I think by now most of us have figured out that every single magazine cover is photoshopped out the wazoo. And of course, almost all of these are about women, right (also, seriously, there are slideshows on FoxNews rating “celebrity” women’s implants?? Disgusting, and of course FoxNews)? Oy.

Food For Thought: Food Deserts
If you’re like me, and constantly have food on the brain, you may have read that title as “Food Desserts” (wishful thinking) and not “Food Deserts.” But no, this is actually a very serious and interesting topic that I have touched on before but there’s some new research collected at Mother Jones (thanks for sending me this, dear reader Meggie!) that is truly fascinating.
You all know what a food desert is, right? It’s a place where there aren’t very many supermarkets. In fact, most often it’s a place with no supermarkets, and almost always it’s a poor neighborhood. But why do food deserts exist? Perhaps poor neighborhoods just aren’t very profitable places to open supermarkets. But poor neighborhoods usually have plenty of bodegas and little corner shops, and if those places can make money why can’t a supermarket? What’s more, supermarket executives have always been very cagey when they’re asked about the phenomenon, which suggests there’s more to it than mere profitability. It’s a bit of a mystery.
But now there’s another question about food deserts: Should we even care about them in the first place? For a long time, they’ve been a source of concern because supermarkets generally provide better access to fresh fruits and vegetables than little corner stores. Eating well is hard enough for the poor as it is, but it becomes all but impossible if they don’t have convenient access to good food in the first place.
So many choices, so many awful choices
Basically, new research is finding that it is not the access to “different kinds of stores” that impacts weight gain in children, but there is a direct correlation between income and obesity rates. Shoppers at Whole Foods versus low-cost chain Albertsons both had access to plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, but the shoppers at Whole Foods (which we all know is ridiculously expensive) were far less obese.
In some ways, I am surprised by this. I mean, if you don’t have access to healthier options, then you definitely can’t take them, right? But basically what we’re being shown here is that even when people do have those options, they still don’t take advantage of them. Which, the article doesn’t mention but I will, is very indicative of education or lack thereof. If you have never been taught about health and nutrition or your family promotes and maintains unhealthy lifestyles, then no matter how much access you have to healthy alternatives, you are not going to incorporate them into your life.
Recently, I was doing a performance at a middle school here in West Virginia, and was setting up in the cafeteria when I noticed these signs:
And, while not surprised (I’m rarely surprised anymore but the incompetence of people), I was pretty appalled. I mean, the “combination” list, of foods you can eat that incorporate elements from many of the different food pyramid building blocks? Pizza, cheeseburgers, chili, spaghetti and meatballs…seriously, not at all the healthiest foods to be promoting to small children. And, as we well know, West Virginia is home to some of the highest (if not THE highest) numbers of obese people in the country. Yet, I find myself eating more healthily here than I have in most other places that I’ve lived. There’s fresh fruits and vegetables aplenty at every grocery store I’ve been to, farm stands all over the place, organic and locally conscious restaurants and movements. And, once again, education is key. When you have Jamie Oliver going into a West Virginia school and asking kids to identify what certain fruits and vegetables are and they have NO IDEA,we have a major problem. And how could this problem be tackled, possibly even solved? E-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n.
Again, thank you Michelle Obama for making this your cause. And thank you FoodCorps for working to educate our nations youth to form a lifelong commitment to healthy eating and lifestyle from a young age. But this country has a major problem with education and health in regards to nutrition especially. And it’s up to each one of us to work to fight this.

Food for Thought: Pizza Experiment
Looks innocent enough...? Or does it?
The other day, I was over at a friends and getting some ice from his freezer when I discovered this creation. It is a “3 Meat Pizza” (the 3 “meats” being “sausage,” “pepperoni,” and “dice ham cubes”) that cost him $1 at the local grocery store. I was intrigued by how such a masterful creation could possibly cost $1 until, of course, I turned the box over to look at the ingredients and was absolutely horrified.
Holy shmoly, I honestly don't even know what half of these ingredients are!
Yikes!!!!
So, guru master nutrition expert Michael Pollan has a very simple rule on how to eat healthily and give your body what it needs, that I have been attempting to live by recently:
Don’t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can’t pronounce.
And, wowza, this tiny pizza really goes against that one, eh? Each component of this $1 catastrophe is a rulebreaker: crust, sauce, cheese blend, italian sausage pizza topping, pepperoni, smoked ham dices with natural juices. I mean, every single one of those is comprised of multiple complex ingredients AND contains seriously unknown additives/chemicals!
When I told my friend about this and asked how he could possibly stand to eat such a concoction, he said “Well, all I know is that it’s delicious.” Delicious? I decided to google some of the ingredients to try to find out how “delicious” they are once you know what you’re putting in your body:
Sodium Aluminum Sulfate (in the “crust” and “cheese blend”): also known as soda alum or sodium alum, is a form of alum used in the acidity regulator of food (E521) as well as in the manufacture of baking powder. It is also a common mordant for the preparation of hematoxylin solutions for staining cell nuclei in histopathology. [Ed. note: WHAT?! I have no idea what any of this means. Just the fact that I feel like I need a scientific dictionary simply to understand this one ingredient terrifies me...]
Ferric Orthophosphate (in the “cheese blend”): is a phosphate of iron. It is one of the few molluscicides approved for use in the practice of organic farming. [Ed. note: Phosphate, by the way, is an inorganic chemical, a salt of phosphoric acid. And isn't it lovely that it's an approve molluscicide? MOLLUSCICDE being snail baits and snail pellets, are pesticides against molluscs, which are usually used in agriculture or gardening, in order to to control gastropod pests specifically slugs and snails which damage crops or other valued plants by feeding on them!!!!!]
BHA and/or BHT (in the “pepperoni”): BHA=Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is an antioxidant consisting of a mixture of two isomeric organic compounds, 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. It is prepared from 4-methoxyphenol and isobutylene. It is a waxy solid used as a food additive with the E number E320. The primary use for BHA is as an antioxidant and preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, cosmetics, rubber, and petroleum products. And/Or… BHT=Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as butylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic (fat-soluble) organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties. European and U.S. regulations allow small percentages to be used as a food additive, but that is not without controversy as there are claimed links to child hyperactivity as well as to cancer. Conversely, BHT is advocated as a diet supplement and antiviral useful against herpes family viruses. While there may be some dispute in BHT’s use in the human diet, the chemical is widely used in industry wherever oxidation in fluids (e.g. fuel, oil) and other materials must be treated, and free radicals must be kept in-check. [Ed. note: Holy holy shmoly. This is just so upsetting. BHT has claimed links to hyperactivity and cancer and they're still putting it "and/or" into our food?! I just don't even know what to say.]
I’m going to stop there because I’m too overwhelmed and upset to continue. But you get the point, right? For just $1, you can put all these (and more! many many more) ridiculously disgusting and absurd ingredients into your body…is it really any wonder why Americans are so desperately unhealthy, overweight and sick?? We must be aware of what we are feeding ourselves–fast, cheap, and easy almost never equals healthy or safe.
(By the way, this is what this disaster looks like cooked…I gave my friend $1 to stick it in the microwave and then we began a food experiment which I will chronicle in a future post:
No words.
Weighty Matters and Diets: The Drinking Man’s Diet
Enjoy your favorite cocktail while you lose weight! How to Lose Weight with a Minimum of Willpower!
Enough Said.
It’s been a while since I’ve featured an absurd diet from the DietsInReview website and I absolutely could not resist this one. The Drinking Man’s Diet (and I assume it works for women too? Not guaranteed, though) is almost too good to be true. Actually, it’s definitely too good to be true. Read on:
The Drinking Man’s Diet is a fad diet that was made famous by William the Conqueror around 1087. The king had gained so much weight that he was too heavy for his horse to carry.
One day in an attempt to lose weight quickly, he stopped eating food and started drinking alcohol. Thus began The Drinking Man’s Diet, which has evolved through the years and is considered an extreme and unsafe fad diet.
Today’s version of the diet includes drinking martini’s before lunch and eating steaks for dinner. The new version is the brainchild of Robert Cameron and his pamphlet outlining the diet sold over two million copies in 1964. Cameron has lived to be 93 and is still trim from following this diet over the years.
Overall the Drinking Man’s Diet includes lowering carbohydrate consumption and encourages consumption of things certain kinds of alcohol and meat.
Ok, firstly! Who knew that William the Conqueror invented a fad diet?! No one, that’s who. I mean, seriously, the first Norman King of England, descendent of frickin’ Vikings, a Duke at age 7, was like “Does this horse make me look fat?” and then just binge drank himself skinny!! William the Conqueror=my new hero.
Lookin' good, Willie, lookin' good.
So, there’s that fascinating fact. Then we have the concept of “martinis before lunch and eating steaks for dinner”…so, basically, this is the Mad Men diet?? Seriously, market it as such, and the followers will come in droves! Droves, I tell ya!
"Oh man, Draper, thanks for sharing your secret diet with me! I've never been so svelte in my entire life!"
"What diet, Sterling? Pass me that steak sauce."
And lastly, the newer interpreter of the diet has lived to be 93 while still adhering to this diet?! I’m really in awe. This diet is like the Holy Grail or something! Wow. Now, for my favorite part of the DietsInReview site…the Pros and Cons!
PRO
- Great for those who enjoy a good steak and a glass or two of alcohol
- Doesn’t involve counting calories
- Cookbook available
- Drinking modest amounts of certain kinds of alcohol has been linked to health benefits
- Diet restricts carbs
- May encourage binge drinking
- May promote using alcohol to control weight
- Consuming large amounts of red meat can lead to higher cholesterol levels
- Classified as a fad diet
- Those who have specific known risk factors for breast cancer should abstain from alcohol
- Not that much different from other low-carb, high protein diets
CONBrilliant, eh? May encourage binge drinking to drink a few times every day and subsist off alcohol?! You don’t say. But it certainly would be “great for those who enjoy a good steak and a glass or two of alcohol”…but, come to think of it, I currently live in West Virginia and that is a very regular diet here and yet W.Va. is one of the most obese states in the union. So…I just don’t know what to believe!
Here is a sample menu from the Drinking Man’s Diet:
DIET and NUTRITION
The Drinking Man’s Diet focuses on drinking alcohol and lowering carbohydrate intake. The diet originally started with just drinking alcohol and not eating at all when William the Conqueror used it in 1087. But today, it has been altered to include real food in the form of animal protein.
A sample day on the Drinking Man’s Diet might look like this:
- Breakfast: A few slices of cantaloupe, two slices of bacon, two poached or scrambled eggs, coffee or tea.
- Lunch: Two glasses of dry wine, or one dry martini or whiskey and soda, broiled fish or steak or roast chicken, green beans or asparagus, lettuce and tomato salad with French or Roquefort dressing, and coffee or tea.
- Dinner: Martinis or high balls, shrimp cocktail, steak, pork, lamb or chicken, one cup of low starch vegetables, 1/2 an avocado with French dressing, small serving of cheese, coffee or tea.
There are no calorie counts for the Drinking Man’s Diet, but daily carbohydrate grams should be kept to 30 or fewer.
Wowza. My liver and arteries just shriveled up and cried for mercy at the sight of that. And: No exercise recommended! This just gets better and better. Well, if anyone decides to try this*, please wish your organs good luck for me. And be sure to wear a 3-piece suit while you indulge. It’s all about style and class, y’all. The finer things in life.

*=HangryHippo in no way endorses this diet (satire, y’all).
