Emma dear, running is an excellent exercise and if done properly after stretching, should allow you to run for a lifetime without damaging your knees. I think the "running is bad for your knees" idea is a myth perpetuated by non-runners who don't know how to run and refuse to try!

Some of these comments upset me and does not make me feel 'refreshing' at all!! Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence and Simpson had good confessions...They're normal people who aren't stick skinny and aren't afraid to be different. Not that being really skinny is bad, my family is generally very skinny...but unnaturally like Adriana Lima..that's scary.

As a Korean woman living in Seoul, i wonder what American would think of women in the Korean entertainment industry. For Koreans, holiwood is on the plump side. 'Normal' Korean women are about the size of hollywood starlets. The average young Korean womens' calorie intake is around 1500 a day. Asians habe much. Much slower metabolizims, but as a result we age much slower. We eat a practically no fat, high carb diet or rice amd vegatables-korean food. When I spend a week or so in the US eating 'healthy' westen food, i easily gain an inch in the waist. It may be good for us, but it simply is tok high in calories.I wish I lived in the west and didn't have to fret over my weight as in Korea. I am five foot two, i wear extra small, my waist is 23 inches, and i hear 'you would look so much better if you lost 10 pounds' from my colleages on an every day basis. The idea of beauty in Korea is just to stringent.

"joyously giving into pregnancy cravings like buttered Pop-Tarts "

What a stupid woman. If there's one time in your life when you should be eating right and paying attention to your health its when your pregnant.

You're allowed to have weird cravings while pregnant. She didn't say that's all she eats. Don't judge.

Let me know when you're pregnant next time, and then we'll see what you want to eat. Sorry, you don't get to judge.

[Matthew Vella]

I most certainly do. Study after study shows that nutrition during pregnancy can have a real impact of the baby's health and development. Having cravings isn't an excuse to be unhealthy.

I really really do get to judge. A mother who cares about her child would care about her health during pregnancy.

Its okay to treat yourself every now and then, but to pig out your whole pregnancy is stupid.

Wow, I am especially disturbed by Adrianna Lima's comments:
"It's not that I do crazy diets throughout the year. I just do it for this particular thing. After this show, I become normal again!"

Thanks for making men all over the world think that that is what women should look like, and making women all over the world for hate themselves that they don't look like a starving person.

By the way, they do the same thing bodybuilders do before a competition. I guess if I were Adriana I wouldn't have said anything but I can't judge her for her own choices. If you're with someone who uses the VS fashion show as a benchmark for how you should look, then you're in the wrong relationship.

"Normal again" to Adriana Lima probably means 55 minutes of daily exercise instead of 95, two palm size servings of whole grain high fiber carbs a day and that she's allowed to drink something other than water. I don't think she meant 'normal' as in normal person normal. Most men I know aren't too dense to realize that it's a supermodel's full time job to look breathtaking and that she has lots of help looking that way.

I was on Pinterest this weekend semi-debating with a women that had a board dedicated to fuller (or fat) women. She was all about anti-thinspo - about heavier women accepting their bodies. I understood her position, but I told her I was about being physically fit and lean and anti-eating disorder and anorexia. That most women don't want to be skinny, just not fat. I think women look great lean with some muscle tone and trying to convince a person to not be their best self is not exactly correct. I like working out and eating right and feel guilty when I eat cookies that my boyfriend left in the cabinet. I don't bring junk food in my house because it's bad for you AND it makes you gain weight and look older than you are. I'm not ashamed of this. Don't hate me, but (most) larger women (and men) want to slim down but some don't have the desire to work for it so they try to convince themselves that they are happy as is, love their body what it is. The problem with that is they really are not happy with themselves. My point is, these women are slim because they want to be, not because of their careers acting. Their careers substantiate their desire to be thin. I believe few really want to be overweight. Who really feels good about never challenging their bodies with fitness and gorging on fattening foods daily. Not many.

Having just eaten a "snack" of hummus, crackers, oily greek olives and drinking a big glass of wine, I feel bad for the celebs. I may not be a size 0, but dang...fattening food is YUMMY!

How is that bad? Mediterranean food is good for ya.

I love Julianne Moore - think she's gorgeous but her comment makes me so sad.

"I still battle with my deeply boring diet of, essentially, yogurt and breakfast cereal and granola bars. I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the 'right' size. I'm hungry all the time."

Personally, I'd rather be fat. Granted, I may have an extra 30 pounds or so, but I eat healthy and exercise daily. I'd rather retain some normalcy in my diet than to live in such a way.

The easy way to see what a healthy body looks like, in all the forms it can take, is to see what athletes look like. For instance; swimmers, gymnasts, endurance, tennis, basketball and volleyball players usually have bodies that have been conditioned to perform as they need them to in competition. The reason the beauty industry puts the type out that they do is because it is looking to make customers who don't fit a type and, convincing them, has a selling job based on the way women model themselves behaviorally.
Its a dirty trick based on using the general psychological statistical profiles built from research. In short, they don't try to make a woman feel confident or beautiful, the attempt is to work over her lack of confidence - her doubts - in order to sell something.

Considering that eating disorders are rampant among gymnasts, I would not consider a gymnast to be a model of a healthy body.

[Tonio Mendoza]

09:10 PM on 04/05/2012

Okay, maybe so - point taken. Still, as a teacher I've seen the athletes doing better jobs in body care and less problems with looks in general. They often seem to deride the stupidity of the "model" body as ridiculous.

I admire that these women are saying how hard it is to maintain their bodies. Good genes might help, but it's work to stay toned and slim. If that's how you want to look, then you have to fight for it. These women are expected to maintain a certain look, especially for certain film roles. Most of us don't live under this pressure. And, if my boss was sending trainers to my house and chefs to prepare all my meals, I'd look like them too!!

Wow Jennifer could punch me as many times as she likes and I would like it too. I think I need help.

It's unfortunate that some of these women ignore good eating habits, for whatever the reason. Taking good care of the body you have is always important, and even more so if you're pregnant.

[monica noir]

These women have to do what they must to remain thin otherwise, they won't work.

[Lila Wilson]

I have one body and I love the heck out of it because its all I've got. I'm not always nice to it, but I will always love it and appreciate having it. I admire the things that can be done with it. I admire that when I want to wave my hand, I CAN!

It'd be nice if people focused more on the wonder of their body than the supposed deficiencies.

[lola85]

That is an admirable and healthy attitude to have about your body! Good for you! If only more of us felt that way, it would probably put the "beauty industry" out of business! :-)

Bottom line -- no one has invented a tv camera yet that makes you look thinner. Technology hasn't caught up with the fact that most women are in the size 8-12 range. It's evil....
