Bikini Treat for the Day: Anastacia
August 15, 2010 in Celebrity Quotes by Versus
41 year-old singer Anastacia was potted while relaxing in the sun at Hotel Pitrizza in Porto Cervo, Italy this weekend, so she’s our bikini treat for the day!
Anastacia wants to share a body image-related thought with you:
“I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory condition of the bowel… I found a lump in my abdomen and that’s when doctors discovered I had Crohn’s. I have a four-inch scar on my tummy where surgeons removed this mass from inside. I used to be ashamed of this scar but by the time I was 30 I didn’t mind flashing my belly. To me the scar is like a war wound – it proves I survived.”
… says Anastacia in Helloi Magazine.
3 more!
I was touched by Anastacia’s words. Me too have a surgery scar and I used to be ashamed of it, but now I’m not. It just a prove that we won the war, or the battle. Congratulations girl. Very nice figure, and she is not 20. (not that she is old of course or something.)
I’m trying to think this way about my freckles and moles – they are just reminders of the stupid war I had with sun (I have fair skin and had tanorexia).
Crohn’s disease is horrible. My best friend’s sister has it and it has hindered her academic progress so much that she gets depressed.
I think her body looks fine.
I always thought scars look cool. They all show you have a story, and most of the times, it’s a story of overcoming a scary obstacle in your life (an illness, an accident).
scars ftw
Her body looks good! Haven’t heard from her in a while. Didn’t she have breast cancer as well? Must have been tough on her ..
she looks amazing! She is in fantastic shape. Can’t say I like the tattoos but her body itself is impossible to find fault with, gorgeous!
She is a true fighter: Crohn’s disease, breast cancer… She has all my admiration and respect!
has my respect too. Bravo!
she resembles a slightly bigger carmen electra here to me…i think her face is really quite pretty here and nice toned bod!
The same with me! I thought it was Carmen before I saw the title. They have alike bodies, both look great.
i dont even know what she was talking about! she isnt any bigger than carmen…i must have been blind. she looks fab.
and yep, still a definate resemblance to carmen! they are both so beautiful imo
oops! i mean ‘what *I* was talking about’…not what she was talking about! silly me!
Anastacia! Didnt even remember her!
Her body is great and her words are so inspiring.
She has also survived breast cancer and I admire her for that I love Anastacia and her body is super sexy (besides her tattoos)
I understand perfectly well what she said about getting shy of the scar cos i feel the same thing when i`m on the beach and i show up with a big scar coming from the side of my tummy to my back cos i had scholosis.But not anymore now cos they faded alot and i say to myself”i have an ugly scar to outside but at least i have a good heart inside”
Exactly. Lots of hugs to you. I have scoliosis, but they wont operate it, coz they say its not big enough and say that the risks would be bigger than the benefit. I really, really hate my back and I think it is so ugly (it’s kyphosis scoliosis) and I look like a hunchback from my left side. I’m happy though that it’s not on the both sides of my back so the other side feels normal, and I always try to think that I could have even worse deformation somewhere in my body. But I just still wish they would have operated it, but yeah. I have to live with it and try to concentrate on happy things in life and keep in mind it could always be worse.
By the way she looks pretty gorgeouse and her body i sexy,i wonder what she`s up to lately,been a long time since she released an album,i used to like her songs
i think she is lovely. she seems so humane and genuine, and gives hope to people fighting with diseases like cancer and crohn’s etc. she definitely is someone to look up to. if i would have to name a celebrity role model, i think i would name her, and i hope that she really is like that in real life as well (genuine, compassionate etc.).
her body looks really nice too.
I also can understand where she’s coming from. I have a huge scar from breast cancer surgery. But i wear my bikini proudly, if people stare and make comments, that’s their problem. I’m a survivor. And good for her,what a beautiful woman, she looks amazing.
I was really touched by her words, so meaningful. If a person thinks like that, he is automatically beautiful.
for a fan to hear you guys say such sweet things about anastacia really makes me smile
shes amazing and fabulous is every way… she means so much to me
It’s not the scars I would be ashamed of, it’s the nasty tattoos
I thought she had breast cancer and her boob was removed? darn it, I am out to google up some real information, I think I was misinformed.
Go Anastacia!!
Scars are cool. I’ve never been ashamed of mine. As someone else said, it shows you’ve survived something.
