You've got to be kidding me

April 16th 2007 07:51
According to this news story, Kimberly Stewart has joined the size zero debate.

The wannabe-It girl and "model" (and I use that term very loosely) apparently stated, "I am not an advocate of size zero (Australian size 6)... All too often we have unrealistic role models. No one should be a size zero unless they are naturally that size.

"When I was younger, I found it hard to put on weight despite eating lots and taking protein drinks and that's fine, but no-one should push themselves to that degree or feel pressure to be unnaturally or unhealthily thin.'' (courtesy of news.com.au).


Give me a break. I highly doubt she ever tried that hard to put on weight, she's a big part of the Rachel Zoe inspired pack of Zeros. The "pressure" that girls feel comes from her and her vapid-second generation-celeb friends, splashed all over glossy magazines in a skimpy bikini!!

It's all well and good for these celebrities to come out and condone healthy eating, but I'd like to see them actually practice it. Otherwise, don't even bother, it's just plain insulting to all us normal girls.

I'd always wondered what Size 0 equated to in Australia. I'm a Australian Size 6, and find it very hard to put on weight. I used to get very rude comments when I was at high school, insinuating that I was anorexic or bullemic, simply because I was thin (not sickly skinny or anything, I just have a very small build). It used to really upset me. I think the fixation on weight has to stop - people should be content with their 'natural' weight (ie a weight that suits their height and build and is not unhealthy), whatever that may be.

I was actually under the impression that size zero was smaller than a size 6, I thought it was more like a size 4, but I might be wrong.
I have friends who are size 6 and they always have been. Obviously there are people who are naturally that tiny, and it really sucks that people were rude to you.
What gets me is celebs who are obviously not that skinny naturally, who are obviously unhealthily underweight and need help, when they give "advice" to other girls to be content with their natural shape. It smacks of hypocrisy.
I have nothing against natural size sixes.

I definitely see where you're coming from - I don't really know who Kimberly Stewart is, so I can't comment on her specifically, but there are certainly plenty of female celebs who indulge in such hypocrisy.
