Hi and Welcome to my blog. I hope to hear from anyone with ideas, opinions or suggestions related to healing from anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating , binge eating disorder and all other eating disorders.
What are people's thoughts about all the buzz regarding Kelly Clarkson's weight when she appeared last week on American Idol to perform? I wondered if there wasn't more attention paid to her pants size than to her incredible vocal talent. Hasn't she battled with the pressure to be thinner? Maybe her natural size (average American size by the way) is a victory against all that pressure. I think we could celebrate her first for the gifts she offers and secondly celebrate her willingness to be her own size despite the pressure.

Much like the rage over Jessica Simpson's weight shift. Media is terrorizing these women. At 5'4 135lbs a crisis hit news stands on how overweight and unhealthy Jessica looked. Really? It sickens me to look at our nation and see what we really value. When a women is defined by her body and the pressure to meet unhealthy standards is overwhelming you must see how ludicrous these demands are.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are so terrorizing not just to celebs, but to any woman in earshot of our body complaints. I get tired of fighting not to participate in body-hatred talk wherever I go. What about the person in the body? Do their ideas, feeling, visions, disappointments, needs even matter? Aren't we enough?
