late to fix it.

that is what happend to X-tina. she ate fast food and junk food all the time and then BAM! it came back to her in one foul swoop.

I never said "eat and eat", I just said eat and don't gain weight, so I don't get where the BS myth comes from. Some people understand moderation when it comes to food, and actually exercise once in a while. So they don't need EDs or drugs to stay thin.

Yea but Giselle claims she eats whatever she wants, whenever she wants, including junk. That does not sound like moderation. Remaining for years on end at a weight that is unhealthy (whether obese or very underweight) is not practicing moderation either.

Ahh, OK. Well then shut up Gisele!

This doesn't mean she eats ONLY junk. She eats whatever she wants (ie, good food) whenever she wants (ie, at midnite) INCLUDING junk. Not ONLY junk. Does she exercise on a regular basis? That, I don't know. I bet she does. No way can you have abs like hers without a sit-up or two.

Why is it that whenever ANY model claims they don't have to obsess about food and exercise people always call Bullshit! on them? Is it so hard to accept the fact that models are people, too, and some people are blessed with a high metabolism??? Is it not possible that AT LEAST A HANDFUL of the multitudes of models out there have high metabolisms and therefore don't have to obsess about their bodies???

[MrsDark]

I call bullshit because most models are blessed with high metabolisms and natural thinness yet today are being asked to become even thinner. The standards have become inhuman.

^^ Then your argument is with the modeling industry, not Giselle. And I agree! The bastards have to realize that these models are HUMANS, not clothes racks or cartoons. I understand the argument that on the runway, the purpose is to see the clothes, not the model. And I understand that designers' drawings of the clothes look like this:


Trying to get models to look like the above, however, is shameful. And I seriously doubt this will change any time soon.

I'm from Brazil and what the hell is "enjoy food" suppose to mean? I take it that either people from other countries don't enjoy food or that you're calling brazilian woman fat. brazilian women are very obsessed about being thin. the "perfect body" culture here is extremely disgusting and unhealthy. the girls start going to the gim in their early 12/13s. not to mention we are the second country in the world in plastic surgery (and we are a third world country). if you don't call it "fitness craze" I really don't know what it is.

"They get their exercise naturally, by dancing and having sex. "

oh man... here comes the stereotype. people should really stop believing we all love samba and dance like that all the time. I hate samba and that kind of dance just happens during february and it's general to women that can't work with their brains for a living. I really don't know why this is such a big thing in other countries, while in here is totally overreated. and I live in Rio de Janeiro.

and the sex thing is totally stereotype as well. "latino=hot", oh please...

no, the girls excercise a LOT and do a lot of plastic surgeries.

btw, we dance as much as other cultures. as an entertainment.

gisele is a fucking liar. you can have a high metabolism until your teenage years then your hormones kick in and you naturally gain some weight. I know that from experience. she should stop advertize everywhere she goes that she eats as a cow and don't gain weight (she does that in tv programs over here). I buy that she can lose weight easily but not that she doesn't gain at all weight. please... yeah she is skinny at her twenties and that is natural... even tough if laws of chemistry stopped working in her body somehow and she was a natural, it is still considered unhealthy, ask any doctor. here is how to calculate the index of your body mass: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/

last time they calculated her index in a tv program over here, it was very low.

btw, I don't think skinny (as her) is pretty as much as I don't think being really fat is.

she gets liposuction!!!

I doubt the majority of the ones to whom Giselle referred would be outside a normal body weight if they ate properly and exercised regularly and drank their water and got 8 hours of sleep every night and etc.!

Regarding the part I highlighted: Careful! You're in the neighborhood of being pro-Ana! No one HAS TOstarve. Starvation is NEVER necessary!

gisele is outside the normal body weight!! just look at the link I posted! when did people started to take models as the standard? when did that happen?? gisele does gain weight and does exercise and that's her fucking job to be skinny. it's not her fucking job to say that she is less skinny than other models. she is a hypocrite YES because she is in the same table as the anorexia models, at least when it's about weight. it's the unhealthy table and, unlike the word say, it's not a model role table. she is unhealthy and she probably is not by choice but because if she doesn't exercise or skip dinner she won't book a cover.

really, I look foward to the day that this weight schizofrenia will stop.

[SVZ]

I predict it'll start when one of the Olsen twins dies from anorexia. Someone very public is going to have to die before people realize that skinny doesn't equal fit or healthy.

[stardust]

or maybe when people realize that actresses/models are not natural beauties. it's all make up, the right light, the right clothes... in other words when people start living their lives without comparing themselves to others. to love yourself is not a vain thing, it's a survival tool. if you don't, shit happens.

This is brilliant.

[pacific breeze]

She's full of it. She may be able to eat like a pig and not gain NOW, but believe me baby, once you hit 35 or 40, ALL that changes. And it's permanent.
