Janet Jackson is writing a new book. According to People Magazine, she is going to write about her weight problems and weight loss over the years.
Having been a fan of Miss Janet’s for many years, I remember her great figure when Rhythm Nation was released. I also remember her subsequent weight gain. The videos for her next album showed a newly svelte Janet complete with ripped abs and belly baring fashions. Over the years, she has played the yo-yo with weight gain and weight loss. When she loses weight she looks fantastic but she has a tendency to really put it on quickly between projects.
Janet explained: “I’m really coming from the soul with it, and what I was going through at different times in my life and what possibly brought it about for myself.”
My guess is that Miss Janet is just a regular gal like the rest of us. The only difference is that her work is part performance and that most likely adds a lot more pressure. Most certainly it does put pressure on her to be slim and fit when she tours. Nobody will pay to see a fat Janet Jackson dancing and singing on stage (Brittany Spears learned that one the hard way).
Although all bodies are different and what Miss Janet does to slim down may not work for all of us, she will be sharing what she did to lose the weight. Before you get too excited about a new diet solution, it is common knowledge that Miss Janet makes good use of home delivered meals and personal trainers when she needs to lose weight. The good news is that even regular folks like us can still get the same effect with just a little extra work and motivation on our parts.
