Over the years I have noticed that many celebrities who were once full figured gals, have seemed to disappear into the Red Carpet.  No longer are they regarded to as “normal,” they are now considered quite thin!  What is it about becoming a star that makes these women hire a personal trainer, change their diet to eating rabbit food, and constantly focused on how they look on camera.  I know the camera puts an extra 10 pounds on you, but let me tell you, some of these gals need it now!!!

Long ago and far away, I met Jennifer Aniston at Gold’s Gym in Hollywood.  Friends had just gotten picked up and she was thrilled to be part of the cast.  We spoke briefly in the locker room and I noticed, being a female, that she had a lovely figure with some meat on her bones.  Once the show took off that meat on her bones was gone…Don’t get me wrong, she looks great but she didn’t have to make such an extreme adjustment to stardom.

Another one of my favorite female celebs is Cameron Diaz. If you look back at her first film roll where she played the sexy hot gal sporting long muscular legs in The Mask, you will notice that she too had some meat on her bones that has slowly disappeared since her celebrity status came about.

The list goes on…and try finding a photo of any of these now celebs looking “normal.” I searched and searched…Let me know if you have better luck!  And now Tori Spelling has joined the group.  She claims that she had the Swine Flu this winter and that is the cause behind her ultra this look.   Maybe it is so…but, it doesn’t look good.  I’ve been naturally thin my entire life and the camera puts some weight on me too, but I’m not going to suddenly stop eating my ice cream and cookies…NO WAY!  So, stop sending this message to the young girls of today…It’s great to exercise…in fact it is essential to your health.  But make sure to moderate your eating.  You do not have to stop eating the foods you love.  My mother has always said, “anything in moderation, won’t kill you.” That has been my motto since I was 15 years old.

So, now I will get off my soap box and hope that all of you gals out there enjoy life and food in moderation.  Being thin isn’t always healthy…Not to mention that people will talk behind your back when you leave a room.  Being thin makes people uncomfortable!  Why, I don’t know…but be healthy first…:)
