The first part of Rihanna’s vaunted interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer just aired on Good Morning America. It was only a five-minute clip — a teaser for the real interview that’s coming tomorrow night on 20/20 – but already the singer has said more than she did in the nine months following ex Chris Brown’s violent attack on her.rihanna interview with diane sawyer

GMA cherrypicked some gripping excerpts for this interview trailer. The part that everyone will be talking about came when Rihanna acknowledged getting back together with Brown in the weeks after he assaulted her. “It’s pretty natural for that to be the first reaction,” she told Sawyer. “The moment the physical wounds go away, you want the memories to go away.” Love, she said, had blinded her at the time. Given how many victims of domestic violence do go back to their abusers, it’s important for the public to hear an explanation of that toxic thought process.rihanna interview with diane sawyer

Rihanna told Sawyer that she eventually ended things with Brown after thinking about the example she was setting for fans in abusive relationships of their own. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that.” She said she became ashamed that she had ever been with someone who was capable of what Brown did to her: “I fell in love with that person. That’s embarassing.”

Intense stuff. In this clip, at least, Rihanna made an honest, powerful advocate for victims of domestic violence — tearing up at times, but determined to get her message out. Like I said yesterday, it’s not this 21-year-old musician’s responsibility to take up that role, but so far she’s doing an impressive job talking about issues that are all too often ignored or kept quiet for the very reasons she mentioned.rihanna interview with diane sawyer

Weight loss mistakes are common among women. But what kind of weight loss mistakes I am talking about? Eating nothing the whole day and having a heavy meal at night is one of the most common mistakes women make in their lives. They do this because they tend to be busy with so much activity all through the day. But the consequence of this is felt soon because out bio-rhythm work differently. Our body metabolism peaks between 12 noon and 4Pm and after 9Pm, it slumps. Therefore, not eating anything when metabolism is at its most efficient and overeat when its at its lowest will not suffice weight related problem.

In addition, there are other common weight loss mistakes, which are mentioned below:

• Practicing fancy diets, which promise frequent 2-3 kg weight loss a week. They might work when you are on the diet, but rebounds the moment you stop.

• Using laxatives and diuretics. These practices are not good for our body, as they deprive the body of key minerals and lead to weaknesses and loose skin.
• Over-exercising – this leads to constant body fatigue, muscle injury and builds a tendency of over-eating.

• Women who do not live an active lifestyle cannot lose weight.

• Many women compare weight loss results with men in a family or groups. Weight loss is a personal activity and comparisons are often self-defeating.

• Cooking boring food. We love taste – can you imagine a food with no taste or bad taste. The result would be quite negative – you will break down and binge on fast food.

• Checking your weight at least 4 times a day. This is really a bad practice and often sounds funny. But many women become obsessed with their weight and drive themselves nuts.

• Using too many diet products such as chocolates and drinks. These should not be consumed beyond a limit.

• Using gizmos to tighten loose muscles. These do not work at all.

Before answering this question, there are certain things that need to be considered about women: Physiology, Emotions and their bodies experience with time. There are certain challenges to a woman’s weight loss efforts, which are mentioned below:

• A woman carries more body fat as compared to a man. A woman at her target weight would have 25% body fat as compared to a man (15% body fat).

• Women fat cells are controlled by female hormones (particularly estrogen) that intentionally make her hard to let go of fat.

• Women posses low muscle ratio. Since muscle is the fat burning tissue – it becomes harder to lose weight through exercise.

• A woman exercising as tough as a man would not burn similar amount of calories. Neither her metabolism would stay high after exercise as that of a man.

• In the first 14 days of her 28 days menstrual cycle, a woman’s body will grab fat from food under the control of estrogen and in the last seven days before menstruation. It will hold more water under the influence of progesterone. During that period, she will also feel craving for carbohydrates, which could be anything from French fries to chocolates.

• Women are very emotional by nature and perceptive of their environment. For them, any relationship with romantic partners, children or family is sacrosanct. So, whenever she gets hurt or disappointed by any relationship, she tends to find comfort in food and the support of someone close to her.

• A woman’s body changes with time more frequently than a man. As an adolescent, fats tend to deposit around the waistline, thighs and breasts. Hormones change the position of this fat when she becomes a mother. When menopause sets in – hormones level fall and the position of fat changes again.

In my last blog, I have mentioned about three types of bodies that woman possess. The first one is the LEAN WOMAN / ECTOMORPHIC, MEDIUM BUILT WOMAN / MESOMOROHIC and the WELL ENDOWED WOMAN / ENDOMORPHIC. So, categorize your body type and work in that direction – success will be yours.
