I am an actress in Los Angeles and whenever I get upset about my size 6 figure I remind myself of Kate Winslet. She is also a size six, exercizes and eats healthy. I also do yoga, go runnnig and avoid junk and fast foods, and guess what? I’M A SIZE SIX. nothing is wrong with having a womanly figure. I think being healthy should be people’s main concern, not how skinny they can get. and shame on Amanda Seyfried for being a bad examples for young women in America and giving in to the lies hollywood would love to impose on people. She is a very talented actress and I think that f she was healthy and took care of her body but wasn’t SCRAWNY she would still have a career. I think its sad the female body is no longer celebrated and women feel like they need to be rail thin with no curves so we look like men, only with boobs.

ginag, it’s just L.A and Orange Counties that have this madness. The rest of the state is great! (Well, except for the crappy economy.)

I love her and this makes me sad. But I do admire her bluntness and the fact that yeah, she knows it’s messed up. I have to roll my eyes whenever I read an interview with an actress who says they just do pilates twice a week or something.

She tends to be super frank in her interviews. Like, on the red carpet recently, she basically said she hates Big Love and is glad to be rid of it. I think she is super talented, and I’m sad to hear she eats this way (or doesn’t eat as the case may be), but she’s very blunt, as a rule.

Ugh. May I never, EVER have to go to california.
But at least she’s being honest. I tried not eating for a couple of days to see if I could do it, a few times. I think the longest I made it was about 30something hours. And I was ready to shiv someone for a biscuit by that time. Definitely not healthy.

Perhaps the anxiety/depression meds she’s taking wouldn’t be necessary if she was eating. In my experience not eating is depressing.

For those questioning the source, it may not be clear if you don’t read the article that is linked here, but the examiner.com blogger lifted those quotes from an interview that Amanda Seyfried did for Esquire magazine. I don’t know how reliable Esquire or the actual interviewer are, but the examiner.com blogger isn’t claiming to have done the interview herself at all. What is confusing is that to those of us in the San Francisco Bay Area the examiner.com site might look like it is affiliated or endorsed by the San Francisco Examiner Newspaper, but the newspaper website is a different URL.

I agree that the source is questionable.

Assuming it is real, it frightens me that it doesn’t seem portrayed as overly odd. Oh, and her eating disorder? Past, not current.

Again assuming it’s accurate, the Kristen Stewart one seems to hold her up as what we should all aspire to because she doesn’t watch what she eats or exercise and she’s still thin and therefore HEALTHY! Gabourey Sidibe *obviously* doesn’t diet or exercise and should because not doing so is unhealthy, but nutritious food and exercise are unrelated to health for a thin person.
