Phil and Oz; Geneen Roth; Aristotle; Wil- son Greatbatch; many motivational speakers; and the skinny, selfl ess Mr. M. Gandhi. I raise my glass of V8 juice to toast all the credible “fatologists” (weight-loss experts) out there who helped me learn to nurture myself emotionally and physically and how to incorporate healthy and sus- tainable food plans, tools, tips, recipes, and stick-to-it-ivity into my life. I must thank my long-suff ering editor, Linda Meyer, proofreader, Jennifer Weaver-Neist, and book interior designer, Susan Veach. I sus- pect they all sleep with copies of the Chicago Manual of Style under their pillows. Th eir meticulous attention to detail and their faith in my project—and in me—made working with all of them a joy. Finally, I thank my beloved graphic artist, Lisa Meyer, who patiently sat beside me for scores of hours as I micromanaged every sweep of her magic, digital, artistic wand. 1 Disclaimer Th e purpose of Judy’s DietGlue is to guide you through a review of many facets of your life, and then help you get organized and motivated so, from now on, you can stick to any sensible weight-control plan. Th e concepts, strategies, and philosophy I share in Judy’s DietGlue have worked for me; I am not giving specifi c advice for you. Judy’s DietGlue contains my opinions, experiences, and discoveries, and is provided “as is” without warranty. Only you can give yourself a warranty, but I can help you fi gure out how to do that. One major objective of Judy’s DietGlue is to help you to take con- trol of your life and love doing it! You may choose to use many prudent cookie-cutter diet plans, programs, books, tips, and so forth, but just remember: you are in control. Your delicious autonomy will become a vital ingredient in your recipe for long-term weight control success. First and foremost, girl, use your own noodle. 3 A Howdy from Judy Hi, Th is is Judy Payne writing to you. If you would like to take a look at me and be greeted to my book in a quick video, go to http://judypayne. com/welcome-to-my-book-video/ (and then hurry back!). Did you watch the little welcome video? I look like a rather sane person, don’t I? Th irty some years ago, however, I was an insanely out- of-control, 255-pound emotional eater. Now I am a reasonably ratio- nal, fairly well-organized, healthy, happy gal at peace with food. I lost over 100 pounds all those years ago and have kept it off except for those frustrating 5 to 15 pounds that most “N ormal People” also deal with a good deal of the time. (If you are reading the print version of Judy’s DietGlue, fl ip forward to chapter 4 to see my defi nition of Nor- mal People. If you are reading the e-book, just click on the linked term. You are going to see many underlined words throughout Judy’s Diet- Glue, which are handy e-book links to something or other.) Because I documented my way through my life of weight loss and weight maintenance, I have heaping helpings of information, wisdom, and a philosophy that can make permanent weight control much eas- ier for you. I started to write this book aft er I lost my 110 pounds and kept it off for about eight years. In retrospect, I’m sure glad I was too busy or too chicken to bare my soul and publish Judy’s DietGlue earlier in my weight-maintenance journey. Some thirty years of tenacity and illuminating thoughts and experiences since my original weight loss give you a much longer and stronger trail of tiny and huge triumphs to follow. I don’t use bombastic or hyperbolical words like “miracle” or 5 Judy’s DietGlue “breakthrough.” In fact, I strive to be underwhelming in order to let you decide what is a miracle or a breakthrough for you, and I promise to never mention your “inner goddess” or “inner diva.” Oh, and I could include hundreds of delicious low-calorie, healthy recipes and menus, but I won’t because I bet your kitchen is already bulging with them. Writing this book drove me nuts because I wanted it to be all things to all women who diet, but that just isn’t possible. Luckily, in this inter- active era, we can continue to communicate in several ways. You can send me a private e-mail or visit my website or blog, or join in the discussions with your soul sisters and me on Facebook or Twitter. You can even look at my Pinterest boards for more help (all of my contact info is listed on the copyright page). Th ere are lots of ways for you to share your woes or good ideas with others, to ask questions, or to make suggestions aft er you fi nish reading this book. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that you already have plenty of sensi- ble diet books, food plans, and exercise DVDs, and you know by heart scads of healthy hints, tips, as well as diet recipes, right? I wrote Judy’s DietGlue to help thinking women learn to teach themselves how to organize and prioritize their lives and to motivate themselves to stick to any healthy diet plans they choose. Before you read further, I suggest you commit to one of the follow- ing two choices: 1. Accept your healthy or unhealthy fat butt just the way it is and try to love it unconditionally. Th en stop whin- ing about it, give this book away (or delete it from your e-reader), and get on with your life. 2. Continue reading and let me help you analyze your pre- vious failures. Th en organize and prioritize your life goals so you can work on your fat butt as you work on matters more important than that fl abby, dimpled thing that keeps following you around. 6 Judy’s 1-2-3-4-Step Approach to Permanent Weight Control In the following illustration, the four shades of gray on the four steps, on the chevrons on my dress, and on the chevrons on the top of the DietGlue bottle are my not-so-subtle way of using symbolism. Th is picture gives you an overview of how my entire philosophy—and the book—are structured. To see a little animated version, go to http:// www.judypayne.com/1-2-3-4-step-approach-animation.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • Michelle Obama's Rhetoric Concerning the Let's Move!
    SUGAR, SALT, AND FAT: MICHELLE OBAMA’S RHETORIC CONCERNING THE LET’S MOVE! INITIATIVE, BINARY OPPOSITION, WEIGHT OBSESSION, AND THE OBESITY PARADOX Jenny A. Armentrout A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Ellen Gorsevski, Advisor Lee Nickoson, Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala Lara Lengel ii ABSTRACT Ellen W. Gorsevski, Advisor The goal of this project was to conduct a textual analysis on the social and political implications of First Lady Michelle Obama’s rhetorical artifacts from 2009 to 2011 regarding her childhood obesity campaign and widely-supported initiative entitled Let's Move! The analysis examined the remarks made by Michelle Obama regarding childhood obesity at five separate speaking engagements. The research focused on the rhetorical and social construction of weight, while emphasizing the immediate need for policy-change and a human rights focus in relation to weight discourses. The major objective of this work was to investigate discursive and symbolic themes of empowerment, peace-building, violence, dehumanization, globalization, sustainability, consumption, consumerism, and performativity while drawing on critical rhetorical studies and health communication scholarship to challenge the status quo of binary opposition, weight obsession, and the obesity paradox in lieu of contemporary US weight discourses. iii This is dedicated to Katje, Sarah, and Rachael- For always listening to my incessant rambling, singing, and ridiculous jokes, for putting up with all of my whining, for practically holding my hand and dragging me through the hardest times, for telling me: “I don’t want to hear ‘I can’t’ come out of your mouth!” and for being my trusted, lifelong biological/proverbial sisters/bfffs.

  • “The Melissa Mccarthy Effect”: Feminism, Body
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School “THE MELISSA MCCARTHY EFFECT”: FEMINISM, BODY REPRESENTATION AND WOMEN-CENTERED COMEDIES A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Catherine Bednarz © 2020 Catherine Bednarz Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2020 ii The dissertation of Catherine Bednarz was reviewed and approved by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Chair of Graduate Programs Dissertation Adviser Co-Chair of Committee Michelle Rodino-Colocino Associate Professor of Communications Co-Chair of Committee Kevin Hagopian Teaching Professor of Communications Lee Ahern Associate Professor of Communications iii Abstract Immediately following its release in 2011, Bridesmaids was met with enormous critical praise as a woman-centered and feminist comedy. This praise was due to the largely female cast of characters in a major film comedy, a rarity in Hollywood. Women face sexism at every level of Hollywood, especially in comedy, so the success of a woman-led movie within the comedy genre was significant. Reviewers described the triumph of Bridesmaids as a game changer, claiming it would open the door to other woman-fronted comedies. This potential was labeled the “Bridesmaids Effect” (Friendly, 2011) by reviewers. However, while some comediennes may have benefitted from the success, I argue that the influence may be more accurately described as a “Melissa McCarthy” effect. This is particularly significant because though there have been several notable and successful female comedians before Melissa McCarthy, very few would be considered fat and feminist. The presence of fat women is not accurately reflected in mass media (Henerson, 2001).
