Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Good luck, Josie!For fluff, I do also like Real Simple, Oprah, and Yoga Journal. I also enjoy Vegetarian Times, craft magazines (cross-stitch/crochet), music magazines, etc. A friend loves looking through design and architecture mags. There's a whole wonderful world out there. Some postmodern craft magazines that rock. Good luck! I'm quite a magazine junkie. I buy many many different kinds every month. But in the spirit of moving away from diet thinking, I decided to definitely stop buying diet magazines, but also to take a break from buying "fitness" magazines, which really just make me want to diet, and also, women's fashion magazines, which often make me feel fat. So, today I was at and Noble (bought Women Food and God, can't wait to start reading it!) and I went to the magazine rack and other than a hair style magazine (which I don't usually buy, but I'm thinking of changing my hairstyle, so I was looking for ideas), I couldn't find a single magazine that I felt like I could buy. This is very unusual as I can easily buy four or five magazines any time I go to a newsstand! There are a few that I know I will continue with. I'm trying to get more seriously into yoga so I will continue to buy Yoga Journal, and I think Oprah and Real Simple are pretty safe. I also like More (for women over 40) and I think that will be okay, too. But other than that, I'm at a loss. Granted, I have a number of back issues of Vanity Fair that I have been meaning to get around to reading, but that's a really heavy magazine. I like something light and frothy that I can browse without paying too much attention to. I guess I'm going to have to find some other way to entertain myself. Josie .

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I have found that I am not interested in magazines like I have been for the past 40 years! I realized that I had been drawn to all the promises of losing weight and I am no longer interested in their plans!On a different note, I have sent several new posts to this list and none have shown up...what could I be doing wrong?

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's amazing to me that almost every single " women's " magazine is at least partly and sometimes nearly entirely focused on diet, weight loss, the weight loss or weight gain of celebrities... and recipes (either to promote weight loss or to " cheat " )! if you take that away, there's not much left! surely we women have other interests!
