Celebrity Drive & Perfectionism Leads to Disorders
Who is the latest celebrity to admit to having an eating disorder? You'll never guess who else she outs!
Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. Things have been super busy for us at Diet.com. Finally it's Friday and I could use a serious long weekend! I am anti-columbus day, but hey, I'll take the day off from work. Any way, here is what you all have missed in celebrities and diet while I've been away.
-Brittney Snow is speaking out about her stint with anorexia in this weeks People magazine. Dropping down to as low at 87 pounds by age 14, Snow is now reaching out to other women with eating disorders. She appears in an educational video for the Jed Foundation, which brings awareness about mental health disorders and suicide in college students. Snow says it makes her upset that people think she is appearing in the video for publicity, which is often what it looks like when celebrities come out admitting a problem like an eating disorder. Here is the paragraph that was most eye opening for me:
The therapist diagnosed me with anorexia, exercise bulimia- instead of throwing up you go to the gym for hours-depression and body dysmorphia. All that, and yet I still had a career! It's shocking how many people in the business have great careers and this too, and don't talk about it. It's that drive and perfectionism. -People Magazine
I find it interesting that she basically calls out other celebrities who have eating disorders saying, you can have problems, and people notice but still deny and live a successful career. Angelina, anyone?
-Mariah Carey is reporting that she has lost 25 pounds in this weeks Issue of OK! Magazine which I am protesting so I do not know the details. If you have read the article post her "diet and exercise" here. I highly doubt it is acurate, but entertaining none the less. PS I am boycotting OK! because I do not believe that Bridget Moynahan's baby is growing up without a Daddy. As a Tom Brady fanatic, let's be serious here. He is going to love that child, he is just in the middle of his best career start ever. If Bridget lived in Boston, Tom would be with his son everyweek. So while you aren't working Bridget, why don't you move back to your home state where your entire family lives! Stop being selfish and media hungry.
-And finally, please don't click here if you are the sensitive type. Two bloggers acknowleged the fact that eating disorders drive traffic to their website so they decided to try taking Alli even though they did not need it. The two self proclaimed alcohol loving ladies document their experience which may or not make you laugh. I kind of just think they are wasting money and time but whatever. What do you guys think? |

Gisele: Friend or Foe?
As an avid Sex and the City fan, I made a commitment to Bridget Moynahan that I would forever shun Gisele Bundchen for stealing Tom Brady away from Moynahan while she was pregnant with his baby.
After learning a bit more about Gisele and realizing how ridiculous my logic sounds when I write it out, I take back my contempt toward Gisele.
I actually like her. Why?
-She fills up on fruit! The Brazilian native & Victoria's Secret supermodel says her favorite foods are the tropical fruits from her homeland.
-She quit smoking! After ditching the gross habit, the beauty gained 15 lbs. Victoria's Secret wasn't too happy about the gain, but more power to Gisele!!
"When you stop smoking you gain weight, because food tastes better than when it tasted like ashtray," she told sources.
C'mon- she looks great.
-She loves animals!
Here she is walking her 3 dogs in Manhattan
So Gisele, I'm sorry. I just feel so bad for Bridget Moynahan. First, she loses Big to Carrie. Now Tom to Gisele? Aw man!

Bridget Moynahan's Heartbreak Weight Loss
After Bridget Moynahan lost Tom Brady to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the tabloids wrote about her weight loss and depression. Her friends are concerned, worried that she is risking her health.
Before the Baby.^
“She’s depressed,” says a friend. “We were worried about her before, but she’s just gotten too thin. It’s unhealthy. … She’s spending all of her free time at the gym.”
Says the pal: “If Gisele Bundchen were dating your ex-boyfriend, wouldn’t you be depressed, too?”
Her rep told us yesterday: “There has been no change in the actress’ weight. She is happy and healthy.”
While she was pregnant, she kept healthy. Hopefully she bounces back!
