yes i did mention her size.. but i used a decent word for it....
and as for being called skinny.. yes.. i take it as a bad connotation.. just like i think of calling someone fat a bad connotation.. (geez.. doesn't anyone read what people write? i said that already...) there are nicer and more complimentary ways to say something.. when someone says i'm thin.. yes.. i feel good about that.. but when some fat mama calls me skinny.. then ya.. i'm insulted...

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!

Because some people push it too far and start looking like a corpse walking. Obese people don't want to be obese and they don't strive to be obese. Some of the celebrities are striving for this extremely thin look. This is what they want.

I think you're mean. There I said it. You know what you meant when you commented on Cedie's shape. We all know what you meant even if you tried to sugar coat it. You did exactly what you're complaining about here.
Thank God for the Drew Barrymore's and the Kate Winslet's and the Catherine Zeta Jones' and other celebrities who are setting more normal standards for the young girls growing up in today's society.

and the same goes for anyone saying anything about the thin stars weight... they are all mean too....
you all are hopeless... you can't see that YOU are just as wrong as i am (yes... i was wrong to comment on cedie's size).. however YOU ALL are hypocrits too.. cuz you are doing the same thing.. but in less politically correct verbage!
and yes.. if some skinny mama said i was skinny in the same tone.. i would be offended cuz i do not like that word (how many times to i have to explain that?) it's just as rude as calling someone FAT!
you're right.. i'm leaving this thread cuz it's turned into a hypocritical nightmare...
go ahead and bash the thin girls all you want.. just don't whine when someone calls you fat!
and yes.. i know that was very mean.. but you've all forced it out of me...

No one calls me fat because I'm not. My doc just said I'm at a very healthy weight. Buh-Bye!!!

Oh, and I just have to add...
When teenage girls get called "FAT" a lot of them develop eating disorders!!!
When a teenage girl gets called "SKINNY" she most likely won't develop an eating disorder and become obese because of being called "SKINNY".
You don't see bratty teenage boys calling other teenage girls "SKINNY" to tease them at school, you hear them calling them "FAT"!
It's common sense...come on!!

Oops, if I'd have known my starting this thread was going to cause such animosity, I wouldn't have done it. My whole point wasn't to start bashing thin OR fat women. I just wanted to say that I wish female celebrities would at least admit that they work hard to stay the way they look. It's obvious that their careers are on the line based on how they look, but most of them will claim that they don't do anything special (for example, Nicole Ritchie claims she lives on Taco Bell). I mean, are we all supposed to glorify them for that, that they can stay that way without any hard work? At least if they admitted that they had to work out and watch what they eat, then the rest of us could relate.
But besides that, I wasn't trying to bash thin women. I used "skinny" in the title because I got that link from an ET article with the same title.

Remember "Party of Five"? There was this really cute woman supporting actress who played the love interest of the oldest boy. At the beginning of the next season, when I saw her for the first time, I just about dropped my jaw! Her clothes just hung off of her and she looked so sickly and gaunt. I think I remember reading somewhere that she had been pressured into starving herself because members of the crew were constantly telling her how fat she looked on camera. I thought she looked GREAT before losing everything except her skin and bones...she looked petrifyingly awful after losing all that weight!!

I can't place the actress that you are talking about, catwoman but I loved that show! I used to watch it religiously and was so upset when it was taken off the air! ;(
Have a great work out!

Catwoman,
Your post just reminded me of a great bit that Margaret Cho had in one of her stand-up routines:
She relayed a story of how a producer on her TV show approached her and said that some of the executives met and thought it would be a good idea if she lost some weight. Her response was something like:
“I’m not sure what bothers me more - that you all think I’m fat, or the fact that you had to have a meeting to discuss it.”

What I meant was a fat person will be judged as having some flaw in his or her character, i.e., you are fat because you are...
...weak
...lazy
...apathetic, don't care about your appearance
...apathetic about your diet
...not a good person
...selfish (who do they think they are taking up so much space?)
...(fill in the blank)
Yes, some very negative things were said about the thin celebrities, but they are not thin because they are weak and lazy, etc. The negative comments were not made about their character, but about their physical appearance. Which is not the same as saying a person's weight is a reflection of their inner character.
I hope I expressed myself well and clearly. I do not want to be perceived as thin-bashing and fat-bashing. I do believe however, that our society has taught women, as a whole, to hate our bodies - no matter WHAT they look like, to be ahamed of our bodies, and to be continually dissatisfied with them.
Boobs too small, boobs too big. The belly that carried around a baby is now too saggy. Legs too long, legs too short. Nose too big, too wide, too anything. Droopy eyes, cellulite, bunions from cramming out feet into shoes that don't fit - all in the name of beauty.
What the hell our we doing to ourselves???? What are we doing to each other?
If you have found complete peace and saticfaction with your body, when you can say, "I am good enough. I am content with myself, I am proud of myself. I like the way I look," you are one lucky woman, and I applaud you. I look up to you.
Unfortunately, I am not that woman yet.
