Strippers Who Gain Weight

One of the disappointments of going back to a club over the years is seeing a 20 year old with a nice figure turn into a near porker at 25. I'm not talking here just about anorexics and unrealistic body images. These girls start out healthy, with curves. Then somewhere along the line, they let themselves go and pack on the pounds to the point where, when you see them onstage, you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Why must it be, people?

You are right about strippers eating fast food a lot. At my favorite club, they have a Pizza Hut across the street and someone always seems to have something from there. One of the dancers there says all the Pizza Hut employees, some of whom are presumably still in high school, know their real names and their stage names. [Maybe RL needs to work for them. :)] I've been to several clubs where they order pizza in or Mexican or Chinese. You gotta wonder whether they think about what they are eating while at the job they are working at.
Chandler, you are so right about weight loss and gain. I've had a few weight fluctuations, particularly of the seasonal type (I usually weigh about 10 pounds more over winter because I'm less active and do more partying. What I find interesting is once I level off at a particular weight, either at the high end or the low end, it's hard to get it to move in the opposite direction. When I'm light I can misbehave without much effect as long as I don't keep doing it. Similarly when I'me heavy it's really hard to get rid of that first pound or two. I think that frustrates a lot of people. If you want to change your weight you have to change your lifestyle, permanently. The focus has to be on lifestyle, not weight.
I know a stripper who started at 18 or 19, then got pregnant and gave birth at 20. It took her about a year to get her weight back to where she was willing to strip again. Once she did, she looked fantastic. (That's when I first met her.) She stayed that way for a few months, then, little by little, she regained all the pounds she had lost. And she didn't stop there.
I wonder how many cases are like hers. Health experts warn that a quick weight loss can be unsustainable, even counterproductive. That the body wants to restore equilibrium, so only a small increase in calorie intake can produce a pendulum swing in weight gain. Perhaps a lot of strippers starve themselves into shape when they start - when we first see them and form our image of their "proper" weight - then they pay the consequences.
