I know it may seem trendy or cool to be extremely thin and a size 0, I admit I have wanted to be size 0 before but now I realise that its not all its cracked up to be. Being super thin doesn’t make you happy. Actually I think you will find that it will make you unhappy and withdrawn from your friends and family. I’ve been doing some research and a lot of people search for ‘how to be anorexic’. It’s pretty silly isn’t it. Celebrities who are super skinny gain media attention and the more exposure they have the more work they get. This gives young girls the message that being extremely thin makes you popular and happy.

The only way to be as thin as Nicole Richie or Mary Kate used to be is to starve yourself. If you do starve yourself chances are it will lead to uncontrollable binge episodes and then you will be riddled with guilt. This is how eating disorders come about. After you have eaten a huge amount of calories uncontrollably you will be desperate to get rid of them. This is how bulimia starts. Bulimia, exercise bulimia or taking laxatives (its proven laxatives don’t do get rid of any of the calories at all, it just gets rid of water weight making you feel better about yourself).

I think a lot of the celebrities do have eating disorders and the ones who do are definitely not happy. An eating disorder can quickly and easily overtake your life. A lot of the time eating disorders develop from diets. Somebody may decide they want to lose weight so they start on a healthy diet and exercise plan. People start to notice and give them compliments, this is where it can become addictive. Eventually weight loss slows down and the person has to reduce calories even further to see any results. Then the weight loss will stop again and once again calories are reduced. It’s a vicious cycle and something to be avoided.

I’ve included a couple of videos, the first one is Kim Strothers. She’s a Ford Fitness Model and eats 5 times a day. The second video is a TV Ad about anorexia. The girl in the ad probably eats less than 200 calories a day or goes for days without eating and exercises a lot. Notice how vibrant and happy Kim is and how unhappy and depressed the girl in the second video is.

Heres the latest roomsky

A source said: ‘She goes to bed hungry and is dieting so hard she’s suffering from insomnia, anxiety, flushes and shakes. Her father and the people around her are trying to get her to eat more, but Britney is determined not to be criticised for having any extra bulk.’

Hmm….considering she is spending thousands of dollars per month on personal training and nutritionists I find it hard to believe she would be starving herself. You can tell from her muscle tone that she is doing it the healthy way.  If not, she would be anorexic by now!

What ever happened to giving credit where credit is due!

I just found this article on the internet, I’m not saying that all of the information is true or correct..I think there’s some useful information here. Btw I’m also not calling you fat! I don’t know what you look like lol. Don’t take offence from this article just learn!

1. You start the work out program too hard

Most people get so motivated that they work out for 1 to 2 hours to start the New Year workout season at full force, screaming and growling after each rep; then they get too sore to comeback for a second month, week, or even day of training. Ease into your workout program. If you haven’t so much as done a push up since gym class in P.S. one fifty whatever, start exercising by lightly jogging or walking briskly for 20 to 30 minutes. Then as your heart gets used to pumping blood faster, your body will push you to start running up hills, doing push ups or bench pressing 25 lbs. weights for 12 to 15 reps.

Here’s the article…

The Celebrity Secret to Not Gaining Weight During Pregnancy

Do you ever think about how celebrities return to their pre-pregnancy weight so easily? This is because they don’t gain any unwanted weight during pregnancy and yet produce a healthy baby. By extra weight we mean the weight gained by the mother excluding the additional weight of the baby, placenta, womb, and the extra blood supply. Many doctors believe that pregnant women do not have to gain extra weight to produce a healthy baby. These tips will show you how keep off those unnecessary pounds.

Normal vs. Extra Weight Gain

You should be able to distinguish normal from extra weight gain; normal weight gain is the weigh that will disappear after giving birth, while the extra weigh will not be easily discarded after the baby is born.

Under normal conditions, a healthy woman will gain about 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy, the underweight will gain 28-40 pounds, and an overweight will gain 15-25 pounds. This weight should be added on gradually following the first trimester at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds per week. What good are these extra pounds for? Normal weight gain accounts for the weight of your growing baby, the uterus, tissues and others that are needed for the development of the baby. The following is a detailed list of the extra pounds:

• The baby should weigh between 7 to 8 pounds with the uterus accounting for 2 to 5 pounds.
• The placenta excluding the baby weighs around 2 to 3 pounds.
• Your enlarging breasts weighs about 2 to 3 pounds while the stored fats needed for breast-feeding and delivery weigh around 5 to 9 pounds.
• The amniotic fluid in your body is approximately 2 to 3 pounds.
• The additional blood supply needed by the baby is close to 4 pounds.

Any more pounds beyond these are extra weight and are not needed. This weight is difficult to take off after having a baby

Eating for Two

The myth that says that mothers should eat for two is untrue and will only lead to extra weight gain. It is popularly known that a healthy expectant mother needs an extra 100 to 300 calories to make their babies healthy even while still inside the womb. A bowl of cereal and an apple is all what is required. You may be disappointed, however, but if you are eating any more, your body just stores the extra calories as fat. Extra fat gained during pregnancy may not be obvious now, but surely you will notice it when you try to fit into your pre pregnancy jeans.

Maintain a healthy diet that will keep you away from unwanted gain weight during pregnancy. Keep a healthy diet and this includes fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and whole wheat breads. Good nutrition helps you to keep in shape and is important for your baby, too.

Move that Baby Bump

Very often magazines show photos of the pregnant celebrities taking a walk. That’s because most doctors agree that exercise is good for healthy expectant mothers. Exercise like taking long walks may help burn extra calories accumulated during the span of pregnancy. Not to mention the extra blood flow does wonders for evening out mood swings. These tips are for pregnant women who are healthy and have consulted their doctors about not gaining extra weight during pregnancy. It is not recommended for women to attempt to not gain healthy weight during a pregnancy. The mother and unborn baby may experience unhealthy side effects. Always check with your doctor.

I am guessing the following story was probably randomly made up by some tabloid writer rather than actually being true.

“Jamie Lynn says she has been so busy with the baby she has not been looking after herself and instead of eating healthily has been gorging on burgers and fries – too often than is good for her. Everyone thinks she has been comfort eating because of the stress of being a new mum and on top of that she is having to deal with all the rumors that Casey Aldridge has been cheating on her. She needs to start looking after herself better. Not just for herself but she has baby Maddie to think of now too.”

I think she looks great and the tabloids should stop picking on the pregnant celebs/new mums.
