Let me start by saying I despise Jessica Simpson. Ever since her "size one" days on her reality show Newlyweds, she is gotten on my nerves with her stupid illiterate blonde image. Watching Newlyweds, it became clear that Jessica was obessed with her weight. At the time her music career was in a down spiral, but her acting "talent" as skinny Daisy Duke was on the up rise. I reminded one episode where she declared she ate whatever she wanted, but then spent two-three hours on the treadmill to burn off her food consumption. That just sounds a little unhealthy!
Now a size 7/9 over the past months, the public is outraged! How could she let herself go like that? I just think it's funny that as a society we complain about this unattainable size 1 celebrity bodies, but then complain when they get beyond a size 3.
Jessica apparently has recently lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks (also unhealthy) in hopes of gaining back her career. Her country singer career is still new and exciting, and I must admit, some songs are tolerable, even decent, but no one in the country world will except her because she is/was "getting" fat!! What does this say about our society? Does anyone have an opinion on this??

i actually posted a blog about this a while ago. People complain when celebs get freakishly thin, and then they put on a few pounds and everyone starts freaking out, no matter who it is. It's pretty annoying.
ReplyDeleteYou both have really good points. I think that self-confidence is the remedy to weight obsession.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of you. This concept of underweight = attractive has molded the women in society to think they have to constantly try and attain this unrealistic image that is ultimately hurting health and well-being of many girls today. It was refreshing to see Jessica gain a little weight because she seemed happy, finally and confident and comofortable in her own skin for the first time in a while.
