I just saw a diet commercial with Zora from "Joe Millionaire"...she went
from a size 10 to a size 4.

(According to IMDB, she's 5'11" and had a baby last year.)

Isn't this a bit crazy? Should a Size 10, 5'11" woman even be thinking of losing weight, let alone spokesmodeling it?

1. This commercial is one of my least favorite out there.
What was wrong with her before? Obviously Joe Millionaire thought she was sexy enough to choose her even at a *GASP* horrendously piggish size 10! And the "before" pic they show on this commercial looks just fine to me. Why did she need to lose weight? It's just another example of how the media is trying to make us all feel bad about ourselves.

2. I've seen the commercial, and I wondered the same thing.
Why the hell would she need to be a size 4 at that height? I'm a size 10 at 5 ft. 4.5 in. tall, and I'm just fine. There is no way in hell I would ever be a size 4, even if I starved myself. I'm just not built that way.

She looked fine to me before the weight loss. IMO a size 4 for a woman almost 6 ft. tall is skeletal. :(
