Skinny VS Curvy

22 year-old British model Daisy Lowe (who is allegedly 5’10” and 125 pounds) has a little body image quote for you:

‘It’s taken me seven years to get to the point where I can be comfortable with not being as thin as the rest of them.’

‘The public can say, “It’s really cool that you’re not conforming to this anorexic ideal”, but then I still have to go and stand next to all of the other girls. ‘I’m not saying that I am big, but when you stand next to a beanpole, you’re going to look like a massive tree trunk.

‘Literally, it’s only in the past six months that I’ve come to terms with it. Before then…it was hard. I used to have private meltdowns all the time.’

… says Daisy in InStyle Magazine.

23 year-old singer Adele, who has said in the past that she is ‘happy with her weight, loves fine foods and hates the gym’ supposedly canceled her latest tour because she was told to shed some pounds. Let’s see the story via Star:

Officially, it was laryngitis that forced Adele to cancel her recent North American tour. But Star has learned exclusively that it’s not the British singer’s throat that’s bruised – it’s her confidence!

“Shortly after she landed in LA in early May, an executive for her label told her she needs to lose weight,” a source tells Star. “And that really devastated her.”

Although a very talented singer, Adele, 23, suffers from extreme panic attacks. And performing in front of increasingly larger crowds has made the condition worse. She’s told friends she’s gotten so nervous on stage, her throat would literally close up. “The pressure on Adele… has been immense,” says the source. “She was sitting in her hotel room in Santa Monica on her own, crying.”

The added pressure placed on her because of her weight has only made her more anxious and uncomfortable. “Adele sees herself as just a normal girl from London, and she felt bullied and like a fish out of water in LA. She just wanted to go home,” the source tells Star.

On whether she owns a scale: “Truthfully, I’m usually happiest when I’m not going anywhere near it. But you know what size your body is. And if you’re working out and have a lot of muscle, you’re going to weigh more. I feel good when I feel like I’m really strong. And that’s not necessarily when I’m at my numerically most gratifying weight.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is everywhere these days – a few days ago, she told us that she feels insecure at times and today, she brings by another weight-related quote:

When I started modelling, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat. But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t.’

‘I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice. It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.’

‘I don’t just work out to stay slim, I work out because it takes a lot to be on a plane and be jet-lagged all the time. Same with being on a film set for months. It’s important your body is strong and toned and can take that battering.’

Ginnifer Goodwin, who confessed a few days ago that she is no longer a vegan, brings today’s quote – via Marie Claire:

Ginnifer on her childhood weight: “I am genetically predisposed to be a bigger girl than I am. If I didn’t live in Hollywood, I would be. I have very real hips and a real Southern woman’s ass,” she says, munching on the slivers of turkey bacon that accompany her egg-white omelet. Her parents enrolled her in Weight Watchers, which meant she ran laps around the local mall and counted point values for everything she ate. Goodwin is still a devotee of the program, and with the help of her iPhone, she’s “apping points all day.”
