Skinny VS Curvy

VS beauty (and Leonardo DiCaprio’s new girlfriend) Erin Heatherton showed up in a little black dress at a promotional event yesterday and had the following to declare:

“I love apples and almond butter, but I think it’s making me fat right now. But I just love almond butter!”

“I just started this class, Pure Barre, which is so awesome and hard. It’s inspired me to change up my workout,” Heatherton said. “I used to only really do yoga, because I feel yoga is important for everyone — it really calms me down and it’s important to stay flexible. Even if you don’t have time for a big workout, stretching in the morning and night really changes your body. I always stay active, even if I’m on vacation,” she told Us. At home I don’t like to be just sitting around; I like to go out and do things. It’s when I’m the happiest.”

In-demand actress Emma Stone recently shared that she stopped working out during the award season and that even though she doesn’t always feel confident with her figure all the time, she is still going to enjoy the foods she likes. From Us Weekly:

Like most women, Emma Stone isn’t 100 percent happy with her body.

“I do have that thing of, ‘Oh my God, I’m disgusting! I ate a huge Wagamama lunch, the whole yaki soba, and I feel so fat,’” the 23-year-old tells England’s S Magazine. “But I’m still gonna eat that stuff, and you know what? You can get nice, loose clothes that cover it all up. I’m not gonna go parading around in a bikini.

OK, I did that in a photo shoot once, but it’s about what you’re comfortable with at the time you’re comfortable with it. That was a good day, but you won’t hear me saying I have no body issues because I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t.”

While shooting the Oscar-nominated film The Help in 2010, Stone put on a few extra pounds after indulging in Mississippi’s famous comfort foods.

“Suddenly nothing fitted me, but then they have such delicious food in the South and I don’t believe in depriving yourself,” Stone tells S Magazine. “Yes, you should be healthy and take care of yourself, but growing up I’ve seen people who have horrible issues with food. I haven’t worked out for a month and I’m proud of it! Running is bad for your knees and I like to do things I actually enjoy, like going for a swim. I had a trainer during Spider-Man and I discovered I have deep-seated rage when I’m holding heavy weights over my head. Whatever dormant anger I have in me, that’s where it comes out. That’s not the kind of working out I want to do. I would much rather sleep at night than want to throw a weight across a room at someone. I’m usually a pretty peaceful person, but for some reason when I get in the gym something bubbles up in me.”

… says Emma.

On eating healthy: It comes and goes. I’m pretty stable. You end up eating more with 3 boys in the house. You end up having a bit of garbage in the house. But then you end up running after them, so it balances out.

On keeping fit: “I don’t diet. I do exercise, but I don’t diet. You can’t work when you’re hungry, you know?”

39 year-old actress and model Rebecca Romijn covers Fitness Magazine this month and she shares a few thoughts on dieting, working out and how losing weight has been the hardest thing she’s ever done:

On Losing 60 Pounds: “Losing that weight was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I had to change the way I worked out, the way I ate — everything. Everything I did before I got pregnant — like Pilates, which I had done for about 14 years — didn’t work anymore. I had to find a completely different way to challenge my body. A friend suggested I try Bikram yoga. At first the idea of doing a 90-minute workout in a 105-degree room sounded like torture. But the sweating is exactly what I became addicted to. My body changed dramatically almost immediately. Within three classes I noticed less belly fat. My knees and legs are stronger than ever now; my arms have definition for the first time in my life; and my posture is much, much better. I also feel completely energized from all of the deep breathing. I leave class relieved of any anxiety I went in with, and the sweating and detoxifying make my skin feel great. I can’t recommend it enough.”

I understand that losing weight can be difficult, but ‘the hardest thing ever’? What do you guys think?
