Skinny VS Curvy

And the reason is…

“The hardest thing about moving from California to New York is the food — it’s everywhere. I have got to know the pizza there really well. I have probably gained 10lbs living in New York. I can’t find a gym I just see pizza and hotdogs everywhere.”

… says Kim.

“I personally have difficulty keeping weight on, and for this role I had to add 15lbs.

“My character, a single mom, hadn’t any opportunity to stay fit. For my own needs, I like working out.

“But to gain weight I stopped that. Besides, this was an independent film. Small budget. We filmed long hours, long days. No time to work out.

“Normally I only eat until I’m full. On this shoot, I kept eating more. Even when I was full, I’d eat more. With nowhere to go, the weight stays on you.”

… says Hilary about her role in Conviction.

On losing 20 pounds for her role as a ballerina:

“My mom freaked out. Everybody started panicking. She was like, ‘You have to promise me this isn’t going to affect you.’ I was like, ‘I promise it won’t, but it might take me a little time to be OK with having a little more fat on me.’”

On how being ultra-skinny looks in reality versus on camera:

“I could see why this industry is so f**ked up, because at 95 pounds, I would literally look at myself in the mirror and I was like, ‘Oh my God! I had no shape, no boobs, no a**… All you saw was bone. I was like, ‘This looks gross’. But in photographs and on film, it looked amazing…

“It took me five months to lose 20 pounds, but it took me just five days – days! – to gain it all back.“

Pictured: left, Mila in February 2010, while she was still filming and on the right, Mila these days. Can you see the 20 pound difference (keep in mind she gains more on her middle / upper half)?

Further info: Mila is 5’4” (her words) – she must have been around 95 pounds (BMI 16.3) on the left and around 115 lbs (BMI 19.7) on the right.

After months of tabloid-speculation and endless ‘is she or isn’t she…?’, Mariah Carey recently revealed that yes, she is pregnant. The diva says that her weight gain was mostly caused by progesterone:

“I put my body through like a whole kind of cleansing kind of situation and prepared.”

“I had to be on progesterone. I did end up being on progesterone like every month to go through the cycles — especially after going through the operations and stuff.
“And then, you know, because it sort of helps seal the pregnancy, but it also bloats you, it also puts on weight,” she added. “So then everybody was like, ‘Oh the weight gain, she’s definitely pregnant!’ And I’m like, ‘Well, at some point I was.”

… says Mariah in a recent interview.

All the best to her!

Hilary Duff recently opened up about the time when she lost a lot of weight back in 2005:

“I literally ate nothing but steamed vegetables and broiled or grilled chicken, with nothing else.

“I was touring all the time, traveling everywhere, and I felt so run down. Not giving your body enough of what it needs is really dangerous. I regret it because I don’t think I was happy then.

“At the time, I felt almost proud of being skinny, but one day the mother of a fan came up to me and said, ‘Are you OK? Are they not feeding you?’

“After that, all of a sudden, I stopped being as concerned about everything. It wasn’t a big intervention or anything. I got off tour and changed. I started hanging out with my friends and cooking and had a more normal life.”

… says Hilary.
