Eat A Cheeseburger Blog: Living the Cheeseburger Rules
Monday
Apr 28,2008

Congratulations to Tiffabee on the one month birthday of her great blog, Eat A Cheeseburger (www.tiffabee.wordpress.com). She is all about de-constructing the myths behind the thin ideal and challenging our society’s notions of beauty as it relates to our bodies. Not only is she keeping an eye on the media, she has created her “Cheeseburger Rules,” to help us to stay sane in a thin-obsessed world.
Here are The Cheeseburger Rules (check The Complete Set of Cheeseburger Rules for the details):
- Eat this AND that
- Just Because the Magazine Said So, Doesn’t Make it True
- If you see a girl whose size 00 jeans are baggy, tell her to eat a cheeseburger
- Coffee and Salad is NOT a Meal
- When you go out to eat with your bff, order your own meal
- Throw Your Scale Out the Window
- Size Ain’t Nothing But a Number

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!!!
Have a cheese burger yourself girl!
– allison
I’ll definitely be eating a biscuit!
it’s your birthday?!? angela, you should eat a cheeseburger and some chocolate cake! make that 2.
it was great to meet you at the book event last friday. and i especially agree with the cheeseburger rule about ignoring the women’s mags. they are nothing but air-brushed (thus false) images designed to make women feel badly about themselves. sadly, the research shows they do just that - contribute to low self-esteem and poor body image over almost any other medium, including tv. if only we taught our daughters and young friends what we know now, except many adult women have yet to learn not to pay attention to anything that detracts from their ability to love themselves. when will we quit beating ourselves (and each other) up!?!
OMG Angela how sweet of you! Thanks so much for the bday wishes. Stay tuned for many more Cheeseburger Rules coming your way!
I just finished my birthday cheeseburger–tasty!
Congrats , Tiffabee your blog looks fabulous. Bee, let’s catch up and talk again soon. Keep it up!
