I love dried apricots. Second favourite in tutti frutti.

[nanasdiary]

[therearewords]

Apples.

Pretty sure she is talking about Prince of Persia...don't feel too bad for her. Loved the video game but the casting white actors was embarrassing.

its sad that any actress with big boobs is considered 'fat'

[whysogayprop8]

Yeah...thats it...

[burntxtoashes]

i mean ashley benson basically said the same thing?

[numbedtoe]

but look at kate winslet and jennifer lawrence. there are several busty women in hollywood who get called fat behind the scenes because these guys think they should look like a barbie doll. the tits are fine as long as the waist is super tiny and not proportioned to their upper body.

I used to be really into stanning models and I think it really fucked up my body image. Thankfully I took a step back and now can just enjoy pretty fashion photography but spending all that time on those forums where idk, Vittoria Ceretti was considered overweight and Gigi Hadid a whale really contributed to my ED imo. Obviously it wasn't just that that made me crazy but it didn't help.

Those model/fashion communities have the same kind of people from thinspo/proan communities which I think are super toxic so it makes sense. I used to go on those model community sites until the stuff they would say would wear at my self esteem so I stopped

[cantlogoff]

same here. it's taken at least a decade to find that out for me and try to correct my body image.

it blows my mind even see that kind of criticism here! like ppl used to talk all the time about gigi being a bad model because she was "too big" and like...why is that something to criticize her for??

Has any woman NOT been bullied for her weight? Every woman I've ever known over a size 6 has had someone tell her she needs to lose weight or that she'd be "hotter" if she lost weight. My sister went from a size 2 to a size 4 and complained about how her "thighs got gross and flabby". Gwen Stefani once said in an interview that she is constantly hungry because if she ate enough food to not feel hunger she would get "too big". I just...can't stand it.

Hell, I am a size 6 (and I'm not short/don't have a tiny build) and my dad still referred to me as "solid." But I've heard him stay stuff like "your mother likes her sweets" and "I forgot Nana (his mother) was pudgy for a while" (he said this a week after her funeral while looking at old photos). It's no wonder I had an eating disorder.

Gwen Stefani once said in an interview that she is constantly hungry because if she ate enough food to not feel hunger she would get "too big".

I've lost count of the amount of interviews I've read with actresses saying they have cried from hunger/are permanently hungry to maintain their weight. It's depressing.

i was bullied until i became anorexic and then bullied and told to eat a burger and then when i finally started gaining weight, was told i could stop now
now i'm fat, happy, and dgaf about how i look anymore and when people say, "oh, you look great, did you lose weight?" i say, "nope, i think i gained 5 more, thank fucking god!"

i hate when anyone makes any comment about anyone else's body
