Speak Up: Slender People Who Complain About Their Bodies

FitSugar — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:33:03 PST

A good friend of mine is constantly saying that she needs to lose weight, although I think she looks great. She goes to the gym several times a week and it shows - she's toned and seems to be in the best shape of her life. Some of our friends get upset when she makes these kinds of comments. Since they've struggled with weight their entire lives, it bothers them when girls who are thinner than they are complain about their weight.

This week, actress Sienna Miller admitted in an interview that she's not into the gym and can't really stick to a diet. She also shared that she feels like she's getting "soft."

“I think I’ve reached an age now where it’s time for me to start working out a bit. I can’t get away with it any more. I used to be able to get away with it. I was quite firm and quite tiny and as I hit 25, things started to change. Now I’m noticing more changes. You know, a top and bare legs at the back is not a pretty sight! I’m lazy and if I wear clothes, it’s hidden well.”

I don't know about you, but when I saw those pictures of Sienna in a bikini earlier this week, I didn't see a girl who needed to hide her bare legs or who is out of shape - but I'm not terribly bothered that she said this, either. Everything is relative to our own experiences, and her comments don't reek of having poor self-esteem. I'm sure that the body that she has now doesn't feel the same to her as the one she had when she was 24.

What about you - how do you feel when people who are thin point out that they feel just the opposite?

America to World, "I'm Curvy!"

FitSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 08:45:00 PDT

There are a lot of starlets in Hollywood that would cause great angst in my life if my daughters held them as a role model. America Ferrera, however, is not one of them. America continues to impress us with her on screen talent as well as her off screen grace, including her healthy outlook on life. She'll be the first to tell you that she's not looking to be a size zero, and that she thinks there's way too much attention placed on the way stars look. Here's more:

"And I think it’s hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy. Come on – they’re not curvy. I’m curvy!"

America said she was fortunate to nab the role of Betty, because she's not prepared to starve herself for her art. “I’ve been really lucky," she said. "The role has prepared me to be exactly who I am and not to change."

"And what is normal now? Is it normal to be size zero?"

She continued: "Starving yourself is not beautiful.”

Three words: You go girl!

Reese Witherspoon smiled yesterday after having lunch with friends at the Brentwood Country Mart. She was decked out for the occasion in a pair of Rich & Skinny jeans, which she complemented with a two-tone bag from Celine. Reese is now gearing up to celebrate her first Thanksgiving with husband Jim Toth. She's in California prepping for the holiday after a recent trip to her home state of Tennessee. Reese attended the 2011 CMA Awards in Nashville, where she joined a long list of celebrity guests like Taylor Swift, Nicole Kidman, and Keith Urban.

More travel is in Reese's future next year. She's being honored by the Art Institute of Chicago's Gene Siskel Film Center next June, and on the 23rd of that month will travel to the Windy city for "A Summer Evening With Reese Witherspoon." The annual fundraiser will include a Q & A session with Reese, conducted by a yet-to-be-announced guest host.
