Kelly Ripa

If I posted a thread title that simply said: Melissa McCarthy and the body of the thread read: That girl is too fat! Are you saying I wouldn't get raked over the coals on the Dis? Aside from Fire Dancer, would there be one single person on the Dis that wouldn't call me out?

You would be raked so hard there would be marks.

While I do think she is thin; I don't necessarily think she is too thin.

Kelly Ripa tried very hard to get into shape and I think she found she felt better and maybe that turned in to an addict approach which made her even more obsessive.She is thin but I don't think I would classify her as anorexic or even having an eating disorder. I think she looks very athletic in this link above.

Now, I'll say that Matthew McConaughey is a little on the thin side for my taste.

He lost all that weight for a role he is playing.

I have no idea who Melissa McCarthy is and I had to look her up. She is very overweight. I'm not debating that this thread is pointless and that saying Kelly Ripa has a huge head is rude. I'm saying if there is real concern (and I know that is not why this thread was started) it is ok to voice it, in a cornered manner.

I cannot even fathom the horrors that would occur on such a thread.

I rarely watch the show, but I happened to catch it the other week. She mentioned that she "had" to wear Spanx. Really, Kelly? You really need to wear Spanx?

She reminds me of a girl I knew in high school. This girl weighed maybe 105 pounds and was about 5' 4", so she was rather thin. She was always going around saying "I'm so fat, I'm so fat." It was simply an attention getter so that everyone around her would praise her on how thin she was. Finally one day I had it with her constant need for praise and I said "You're right. You could stand to lose 5 pounds."

Not only would people call you out, you most likely be called a troll, reported to a moderator and probably receive points for the audacity.

It's a real double standard for sure. People on this thread are saying she appears to have an eating disorder and an unhealthy obsession. Um, does Melissa McCarthy and millions and millions of citizens not have an unhealthy obsession with food? Look at all of the obese people with eating disorders. Why are they a protected class but not the "too" skinny people?

Considering you can see her rib bones and bones in her chest that to me says too thin. Maybe she does have some kind of an eating disorder? Maybe that with a combination of stress from something? Who knows what goes on in her life? She could stand to put a few pounds on though. JMO

Nope. Don't ya know it is always a medical condition that causes obesity?

Considering you can't see her rib bones or her waist to me says too fat. Maybe she does have some kind of an eating disorder? Too many cheeseburger-itis? Maybe that with a combination of stress from something? Who knows what goes on in her life? She could stand to lose a few pounds on though.

I wouldn't worry about her but she keeps talking about how she needs to be careful about what she eats because she needs to lose weight. She says she's 'dense' and weighs a lot. I believe she has a mental health issue about her weight and body image. She's constantly making self deprecating comments about her body.

I don't watch the show but I do watch Letterman and she's a fairly frequent guest.

I remember once a while back she was on and he commented on how small she was. She protested that she wasn't; he said she was and guessed she weighed 90something lbs. She insisted she weighed over 100 or 110+ or something. He was like 'no way in heck.'

They brought out a scale, she got on it if he would - she was under 100 lbs.

Which is all to say I think you're right and she does have some level of disordered thinking w/re her weight/body whatever.

I also feel she is too thin - I do not know if its an eating disorder, but the picture on the left side is a little scary - too many bones showing.

The difference might be that Kelly is dilusional about her weight while Melissa knows she's fat.

Saying Melissa is fat is obvious. Saying that Kelly is too skinny while she moans about having to lose weight is a fair comment.

Major airbrushing on the right!

Both Kelly Ripa and Melissa McCarthy have disordered eating. However, I don't see Melissa McCarthy in a bathing suit on a magazine cover having her figure celebrated.

I guess that's the difference.

A long time back she mentioned Mark was pushing her weight loss. It was right around when she first started. She was fuller on AMC but those were the teen years. I hope sh is thin because SHE wants to be not someone else pushing her to be. I have a friend similarly sized and she is an exercise addict. Works out 5+ hours a day. But it makes her happy I guess.

To be fair, we don't know that either one has disordered eating.

I suspect one has disordered thinking in some way. I have no idea what she eats.

I know people who are overweight who eat a lot of Doritos and drink a lot of soda.

I know people who are overweight who eat a diet any nutritionist would praise, no soda or Doritos in sight.

I know people who are very thin who barely eat.

I know people who are very thin who eat like total pigs.

The human body is a strange thing.

You are right; I should have learned that on the Dis a long time ago.

However, I am going to assume that if you maintain an unnatural and unhealthy weight, high or low, then you have some sort of disordered eating. I'm not considering medical issues which cause high or low body weight.

I think both Melissa and Kelly have disordered eating habits. Maybe they don't, maybe they do. It's their own business.

I will say that Kelly Ripa's weight and body type (no matter how low) is more socially acceptable than Melissa McCarthy's.

OMGosh, is that really him? What movie was this for? He looks scary

That's because if they had her real picture on the cover, no one would buy the magazine.
