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? |

Nikki Hilton Weight Loss - Scary Skinny?
Just when you thought that super skinny was out, it turns out Nikki Hilton is a laggard (a little bit college vocab for you all). Gasp! The diet diva remembered something from an econ class sophomore year of college... A laggard is the last person to jump on the bandwagon basically (it's suppose to refer to new technology but whatever, pop culture trends work just as well in my book). Here is a recent photo of her. Her knees just look bony and awkward. Yuck! Paris looks better than her (body wise). Bethenny Frankel told me in an interview once that the Hilton's don't diet. They eat what they want but just enough until they are full, like a few bites of cheese burger, never the entire thing. It looks like little sis has applied this to her salads now as well.
Here is another pic from Halloween. What do you guys think? Does Nikki need to add pounds to her small frame? If anyone hears that she is on a special diet let me know, and I'll post it for ya'll. The only info that came up on google was stuff that I wrote about!

Keira Knightly's Angles
Kiera Knightly is a thin woman, there's no doubt about that:
But is the Pirates the Caribbean star unhealthy? I'm not entirely sure.
Sometimes, she's downright scary...
But at other times, she looks fit!
Some sources believe that she may carry all of her weight in her legs.
Here's one angle
Here's another
One of the most important things is how Knightly feels. She was recently quoted saying, “Weight is a big issue in Hollywood because I’m twice the size - height and everything else - of most of the girls who are going in to see the director for a part. When you realize that I am, at my size, one of the largest actresses there, you start to think, 'I don’t think it’d be healthy for me to stay here much longer.'"
I'm not entirely sure what she meant by that statement, but hopefully it's not that she thinks she is overweight. I don't think so, as sources report that she doesn't like being skinny and that she'd rather look like performer Beth Ditto (pictured to the right)
She said, “When she (Beth Ditto) was performing she started taking all her clothes off. I stood there watching her strip, thinking, ‘Oh my God, that woman is so sexy.’ She has the most amazing body.”
Inspired, the Keira even went to the doctor to find out how to gain weight, "I went to the doctor to be checked out and asked him what I could do to put on weight. He told me that for someone of my body type to get to a size 12, I would have to eat a lot of sh*t food, stop exercising and drink loads. Basically, my body type is naturally thin. There is nothing I can do about it."
I wonder how much weight she wanted to gain!
Regardless, the star swears that she doesn't have an eating disorder and pal Sienna Miller attests to her honesty.
Knightly stated, "I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia - my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it, so I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t. But I don’t have it, I am very sure of that.’
