Rukia

Haha men and their boobs. LOL

Good for you!! I am the same,curvy and boobie-more to grab hold of my other half says

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I totally agree with you and this is what I'm trying to say;

This person always said on TV that she was happy with her curves and weight and would cheer being a bigger person.

Then she started losing weight quickly and advertising in magazines , on TV, and on billboards a food slimming product.

Her husband, LIVE ON TV said she had lost weight by eating healthy and exercise.

This celeb has shown masses of sympathy to young women with eating disorders and advised them the best way to control weight was to eat healthily.

A national newspaper divulges that she has had a gastric band fitted,which at first on Saturday, her agent denied.

Yesterday she admitted that it was for herself and that 5 people knew.

This is all well and good.But,what about the women that have been on her show about their weight and through her advice and empathy,have dieted and exercised and worked bloody hard-only to find she has had this operation.Now,I am not against this surgery at all and have watched lots of documentaries on the subject.I just don't understand why if she wasn't ashamed of it,why did'nt she come clean before the media found out?

Celebrities are people like you and me.I also know that another celebrity ON THE SAME SHOW, that has been writing a diet diary in a magazine has been found to have had the same surgery.

I agree that there are far worse celebs out there involved with drugs and alcohol, but I don't believe there are as many girls out there wanting to become drug addicts or alcoholics as there are that want to be slim.

Amazing she looks with a natural talent with people and their problems-honest,she hasn't been.She has given the illusion of dieting and exercising alone being her aid to weight loss and this hasn't been the case.

I know some people will disagree with my views but what about our young,vulnerable women who read endless magazines desiring the perfect body-it is all wrong.

As your original blog outlines that being judged by others is hurtful, can you imagine how it feels when that is amplified by coverage of your personal life in national newspapers, so she decided not to tell the world about her gastric band, it's no-ones business but her own. I am a fan of hers and as a fat person myself always admired her image but we all know that being fat (or too skinny) is not great for your health, I do believe that the person in question reached a certain age and was concerned about the effect of being overweight on her health. She is also a mother and probably is very aware of the pressure on young women to conform to a certain body image, I really feel that she in no way meant to mislead anyone or promote extreme weight loss to young people.

Whose to say that she had not tried to lose this weight naturally, over eating can be an addiction just like drugs or alchol, would you prevent a drug addict from getting medical help for their problem? and who said she was ashamed of it?

Plus you need to give teenage girls some credit, they know that recreational use of certain drugs can boost weight loss as well as drinking, they may not aspire to be addicts but who does?

hahahahahahahaha that was so funny DA:
"The best thing my fella ever said to me was that he loves me, even if I weighed 400 lbs and knocked shit off tables with my arse, that wouldn't change. LOL"

and i agree too, skinny doesn't equal low cholestrol !!!!!

The thing is,she is in magazines and on certain websites claiming that using the product she advertises aids weight loss,which it does because I use it.But, from the point of view of a young girl with weight issues bordering anorexia or bulimia it's just not a good image.I love this presenter and she is my favourite because she shows empathy with all walks of life.This is why someone that is so admired should be honest.Her husband has also said-and I heard it said, that the weight loss was due to eating less and exercise.What about the people who can't afford this operation even if their circumstances and health depend on it?

I think she looks amazing and good on her,but she has been deceitful to her fans and women who have at looked at her for inspiration.

The procedure that it is claimed she has had does not restrict what you eat just how much you eat, so she has lost weight by eating healthily plus has she ever (in person) said it was an unaided weight loss. There are far far worse role models out there who are promoting extreme weight loss (amongst other things) as the thing to do,whose music and image are directed towards youth culture and whose influences are far stronger to school age children then a daytime T.V host.

I personally have experienced an aided weight loss plan (when I had my jaws wired) and I know that this was not a step that I took lightly and medical pros and cons had to be weighted up carefully, to have a surgical procedure for weight loss is not the easy option that it is betrayed to be. I do read celebrity magazines and visit "gossip" columns online but I take what I read with a pinch of salt, the only people that know the truth are the people involved, the rest of us can only speculate.

Thanks so much for your reply,at last someone that agrees with me wholeheartedly.Even my partner said this morning when I mentioned it to him that it is nobody elses business but theirs.Wrong, but that,s his view.Men don't have concerns about weight and size like women and I don't believe a man can truly understand a womans point of view.My man loves me dearly, I know that.After I met him I put on nearly 3 stone(don't know what that is in kilos).He says he will love me no matter what my size.If you have issues with your weight though, sometimes mens opinions can not matter so much as a womans.Thanks again,Thuy,Lisa xx

No problem about the reply, glad to help :)

But yeah, I agree, it's your partner's point of view :)
But like you, I still feel that when people are encouraging others, especially YOUNG women, to base their self-worth on their appearance, is just wrong...
Things like this lead to eating disorders and other psychological problems...

Yep, I agree...
Men don't have concerns like we do...
They don't get the pressure from other peers, not the way we do anyway...
Not to say that they don't have pressures too :)

That's great that your man loves you for you !!!!!

Oh, and I agree, with your last statement about a woman's opinion meaning most important to another woman...
This is EXACTLY why women should be encouraging other women to love themselves for their inner beauty..
Not shooting them down for not being stick-thin !!!!!

This is a good topic, could ramble on for ages. hahahahahahaha

xox

  GO,GO GO......HURRAY FOR CURVY WOMEN...

hahahahaha yep...

WOO HOO FOR BEING CURVY... LOL

*shakes my booty* LOL

I love 'How to look good naked'.Over here the presenter is Gok Wan and he is fantastic at making women feel great about themselves no matter what their shape or size.That is exactly my point about honesty.People need to be honest about their shortcomings whether being a celeb or joe public.
