celebrity skinniness is not good motivation for getting healthy
I know many of us watch TV and goggle over how pretty and skinny celebrities are…but really, how can someone make girls like Jessica Stroup from the new 90210 their “thinspiration?” To be perfectly honest, I think this is disgusting and just like models are being banned from the runway for being too skinny, celebrities should not be allowed on TV. Being someone whose had an eating disorder, I know that girls like the 90210 skinny minny’s are not doing teenage girls any good what-so-ever.
Check out the article in the latest US Weekly. It reports that Stroup is 5′ 8″ and 100 pounds. Now I am 5′ 1/2 ” and my recommended lowest weight is 100 pounds. Something is wrong with this picture.
Here is other evidence that Jessica definitely has a problem! I’m sure you all remember Prom Night, a movie that came out merely months ago? She starred in this film, but you can’t recognize her because she’s at least 30 pounds heavier, a much healthier looking Jessica, that’s for sure.
What do you all think? Do many of you buy into the skinniness of hollywood (I know I did for awhile) and think its good motivation to get in shape or do you think it provides an unrealistic goal for young girls and ends up doing more harm than merely serving as innocent entertainment?
