*Girl Poll: Do Thinny-thin Actresses effect your body image?

[TinkQT14]

There are SOO many actresses out there that are way to thin! Do these actresses ever effect your body image?

*Taylor*

 

[Loves Disney]

Effect my body image...why would they do that? My body doesn't change by looking at them...that would be freaky -- don't you think? lol unless you mean make me look at myself differently or pity myself...then no still lol.

 

[VolleyballQt07]

god no! the stick skinny ones are probally anerexic..........but me on the other hand................no way! i mean yeah when i look at oen i say "why can't i be that skinny" but thn i think about the problems they are going through bcuz of being soooooo skinny so it really doesnt effect me!

 

[Sparx]

I strive to be comfortable in my skin. Seeing someone who is skin and bones actually makes me feel better about myself, because I know that I don't have to starve myself to like myself.


ETA-upon re reading this. I realized how many times I used "my" and "myself" gotta love pronouns.

 

[catycatcat4]

nope i look beter than them but its true

 

[PatriotsRule]

Well, since I want to be an actress, sometimes it makes me wish I was thinner, but not *that* thin. I want to be an actress so badly, but I'm not willing to starve myself just so I *might* get there.

 

[beachbaby91]

Not at all. I think it's especially disgusting with Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and I think it was Kate Bosworth? Whoever Orlando Bloom's girlfriend is. They need to eat more, I understand that some of them have problems, but that's awful. They are just getting themselves into more issues by letting themselves get that thin. That's not something I'd change for...I don't want to look like that at all. I'm happy with how I am

 

[milkabum]

Yeah, like I really wanna be a freak who looks like a lamp.

 

[polysisterchick]

nope. don't care if they decide to go on diets or starve themselves. Their choice, sure it's stupid... but i'm not gonna go on a crash diet because this one celebrity is.

i think i'm fine.. altho i'd like to be a little more in shape.
i've been a blob so i need to work the muscles....

 

[EeyoreFan1]

No, because my family has a high metabolism anyways..YES I would do ANYTHING to have say the face of Keira Knightly, but not neccessarely her body, I'm already skin adn bones.. But I'm not anerexic..

 

[EeyoreFan1]

Yeah, like I really wanna be a freak who looks like a lamp.

Some people can't help being small..

 

[Lil_Tink]

The ones who make me want to have a better body are the murf like denise austin or an actress whos healthy like Jessica Simpson. But Nicole Richey and all them make me want to get sick.

 

[AmoDolphin]

Nah...

 

[TinkQT14]

Thanks to all who have responded! I know so many girls who want to be soooo thin. I know guys like girls with meat on their bones for a fact. I know people are thin ( I am one of them) but sometimes i wish i had curves like Raven . I hate girls who think they have to starve themselves to be pretty!

I understand if you have a naturally small figure, or excersise often, and eat healthy - but I'm talking really bad (eating disorder bad). I was stating my opinion.

 

[pacificnorthwester]

I'm not fat, I'm not skinny, I'm slenderly curvedthat basically means I'm tall and thin(ish) But I've got hips and a Bum to be self-conciously proud of!

 

[churross]

I'm pretty skinny myself and I hate the word skinny. People pick on me all the time and it gets so old. I have a super fast metabolism and tons of people mistake that for being anorexic. So maybe these tiny actresses were just born that way. Just because someone is skinny doesn't mean they are sticking their finger down their throat. I'll step off my soap box now :]

 

[Babyjustrun]

sometimes. though honestly, i never do anything about it. i mean, i'll feel bad for two seconds, swear off the chips & decide to eat healthy and the next day i'm eating a calorie infested freezie.

i wouldn't EVER EVER consider having an eating disorder. i don't like to feel starved, it hurts & i couldn't make myself throw up. even when i'm throwing up naturally i will myself not to. i'm afraid too, it's been YEARS since i've thrown up. though i have gone hours & hours without eating & then binged, but it wasn't really my fault & i didn't lose any weight.

i'm not skinny, i hate it when i can see someone's spinal cord. it reminds me of an anorexic alien (like ET). i have a friend, who is ridiculously skinny, but that's just because she's taller than she weighs, and her rib cage is so high & visible it looks like her ****s xD everyone is freaked out by her rib cage.

the only things i am self concious about is my butt (which looks disporpotioned on my body cos i'm short & kind of skinny).

 

[kidpluto]

some do, like when i see one that looks normal but is skinnier then me, i wish that i looked like that but the ones that are freakishly skinny make me actually feel better about myself lol. so it depends, but in the end, i really dont care lol as long as i take carre of myself, feel healthy and keep active or stay in shape, my body is fine with me lol

 

[disneyangel7488]

I'm more on the heavy side, and yes, I do wish i was thinner, but I'd rather be healthy than not healthy. And with many of these actresses, you can tell that they've gone on diets because you'll notice the weight loss over time. For example, I just recently saw a thing about Kate Bosworth in a magazine. They showed a picture of her from a couple of years ago, and she had a healthy looking body. But now, she is rail-thin. I understand the desire to have a "perfect" body, but one has to know how much is too much (or too little). And dieting alone is not going to give one the "perfect body"- it involves exercise, getting enough sleep, and just overall taking care of yourself.
