8 celebrities who refuse to conform to society’s norms for body weight
Kim Kardashian
Pregnant women around the world are becoming targets of body-shaming comments during and after pregnancy. People all over the world are starting to comment on how big or fat pregnant women can get. We’ve always wondered why they do that when you’re pregnant and you’ve got life in you. How to support her body and give space to the growing baby without getting bigger? The ignorance with which people comment on a pregnant woman is truly shameful. The joy of having a child is overlooked by garbage society norms, and not everyone understands that.
Kim had been a victim of such comments, with people around the world speaking out about how big she’d grown with her second pregnancy. Coming back to all the comments, Kim uploaded a nude pic showing off her small bump, covering her boobs and pouting her lips. Along with the picture, she shares how before she got pregnant, people used to say she was so skinny she must have faked it. After her pregnancy, they said the same thing! She must be so fat, she must fake it. She also mentioned being photographed one day before and one day after eating, which is an obvious reason for the weight difference. Everyone’s body is different and you have to learn to love your body and size, especially when you’re pregnant. They also say that your body looks and feels different when you wear a girl than a boy. She mentions that she loves her big body and it’s getting bigger! Well, clearly, Kim is unaffected by these stupid, shameful comments. you go girl
PS: Kim is due in December 2015!
Kate Winslet
Who could have imagined the beautiful TitanicActress, being a victim of bullying during herschool days? Kate Winslet, now 39, grew up with a negative self-image. She was chubby while younger and was bullied because of her body, big feet and clothes. She believes she only heard negative comments, which can be really damaging when a child is consciously concerned about their appearance. She talks about how actresses and models these days go from size zero and do themselves pretty bad. Being so thin that only bones stick out is actually very harmful to the body. Girls are very vulnerable between the ages of 11 and 20 as they try to figure out who they are and all they want is to be loved. However, Winslet’s main concern is her growing daughter Mia, who is now 14 years old. She started doing a self-esteem exercise.
She got into the habit of standing in front of the mirror with her little girl and saying things like we are so lucky to have curves and a fit body! She also has her daughter repeat after her and says we’re lucky to have good bums and great shape. She has confirmed that it really helps keep Mia away from all of society’s bullshit. Concerned that very soon her daughter will start to see what the real world out there is actually like, Kate keeps magazines away from the house where Mia may see models at risk. Given that weight is a major concern worldwide, we say that Kate is doing a great job raising her child in the best way possible.
Lauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad banned words like skinny, skinny, and slim from her website www.laurenconrad.com. She has introduced a new way of speaking that uses the word “tinted”. Toned is the new thin she says. The 29-year-old lifestyle guru definitely got it right and is doing it the right way. Lauren wants to get rid of any body-shaming terms that might come up. Their website is all about fitness.
Lauren talks about how she discussed with her editors about how the content is based solely on staying healthy and how every body type is different and needs to be treated differently. She has vowed to only use the term “skinny” for skinny jeans! She also shares different methods of sweating and exercises that should be done regularly to stay fit. She has inculcated ways to eat healthy and talk about good diets with and without meat.
Given the weight-related issues that crop up from time to time, Lauren’s new approach to her website is truly commendable.
Jenni “JWoww” Farley
Jenni from The Jersey Coast has always been known for her light and fun nature. She talks about how she loves to keep fit but also loves to eat. In her opinion, the time away from the gym is just as important as a regular stay. She was recently on vacation with her family in Mexico when pictures in which she looked slightly curvier than usual were poked fun at. She placed the images on Instagram in the form of a collage and captioned them very well. She said that while she wanted to feel embarrassed about those pictures, she honestly didn’t care.
She is a young mother and loves to go to the gym and treat herself to good food. She also drew attention to a picture of her trying to ditch a wedgie, while surprisingly the picture turned out pretty good. She was at a friend’s wedding during this time and just wanted to have a good time with her daughter. She tells how she eventually found out that she is not perfect and neither is her body. Most importantly though, she loves her body the way it is and doesn’t want to be like one of those skinny girls, following societal trends that she doesn’t think are sensible or wise. She loves herself the way she is and is very happy with how her life has turned out. Well Jenni we gotta say
Selena Gomez
Will you believe it when we tell you this, Selena? Did she go through a phase where she felt really pressured? She became someone she wasn’t. People were telling her what to do all the time, and she felt like she was doing things to fit in the public’s good books and be accepted easily. She secretly went to rehab for almost 2 weeks. It was then that she realized that she needed time to herself outside of work and learning to love herself. The 23-year-old singer rocked a polka-dot bikini on a trip to Mexico. A while back, she received comments from people about a pink bikini, pictures of which later surfaced.
Selena was more confident of late and has snapped sexy pics from her vacation in swimsuits. She looks very happy and is said to be in love with her curves. After body shamers commented on her picture, she snapped another pic in a hot black bikini and wrote that she loves being happy with herself, that’s all. After everything she’s been through with her ex-boyfriend Justin, we think she should go for whatever makes her happy!
Rosa
The three-time Grammy winner is a mother and a complete rock star. With her blatant and rebellious attitude, she honestly didn’t seem the type to even care what people think of her physical appearance. For strong-minded women like Pink, it’s about being happy and doing what you do best. Pink posted a picture of herself in a sleek black dress with sparkling earrings and a sheer black headband, and she looked really pretty, but for some body shamers, this was another opportunity to post a picture and say something nasty about it. Considering the kind of person Pink is, she was quick to tweet back with a response.
She tweeted the next day and said that she understands people’s concern for their bodies, but unfortunately she doesn’t care! She tells how she came to an event held for the benefit of cancer and to support a dear friend who had been working tirelessly to eradicate the deadly disease. Knowing this, she said it was sad that people’s main concern in this situation was their weight! She goes on to say that despite what people say, the dress was pretty to her. She felt pretty, happy and beautiful in it. She also says she’s fine, she’s healthy, and she’s giving her big, luscious body a rest. Considering Pink has put in some physically challenging performances for award roles, we’re on track with her, to get her body. To further prove her point, Pink posted a few more things on Twitter about what’s really important to her.
Chrissy Teigen
Other than body fat, things like stretch marks and scars are also a major concern for people. With crazy and obnoxious norms society has thrown at us, people’s obsession with how perfect they want their bodies to be is unrealistic! Although there are thousands of celebrities who keep posting pictures of their slender figures, many recoil, knowing that not everyone in the world can have the perfect bodies. One such impeccable celebrity who recently posted pictures of her scars and stretch marks on Instagram is Chrissy Teigen. Chrissy has known that she is fun and honest when it comes to sharing pictures and posting random things on social media. Maybe that’s why she gained so many followers in such a short time, right? So, of all her posts, the one that flaunts her inner thigh and is covered in stretch marks and scars was easily the best and boldest move yet. She captioned the picture saying she got the scars from what she does best: cooking! She also added, “Stretchies say hello” to the caption, showing off her stretch marks.
The supermodel looks amazing and we have to say that her openness about her flaws is truly commendable. Her paintings speak of a positive attitude towards all types of bodies and the knowledge that everyone is different. Well done Chrissy, you are definitely doing your part right!
Kristen Bell
2013 was a very busy year for Kristen Bell. She had a baby girl with her partner, Dax Shepard, in March 2013 and named her Lincoln Bell Shepard. She was able to work in the office immediately after delivery of the Veronica Mars film. She was also featured on NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Many people asked her what she did to get her post-baby body and her immediate response was to not listen to the idea of people hearing about “body after baby” and throwing all that advice down the drain to throw, the 35-year-old actress told E! News. She has promised herself to only listen to herself and her body and we have to say it has worked beautifully for this beautiful actress. At that moment all she was worried about was her newborn and her excitement revolved around making a new human! She didn’t care about social norms or her pant size.
She then started doing Pilates to get back into shaping and jogging for 20 minutes now and then. She tried to do little things to get back in shape but was even more preoccupied with her little baby. The House of Lies Actress and ParenthoodActors have loved life since their baby was bornin the picture. The two were known to be an extremely happy couple with hardly any tension between them. With two babies in the picture (daughter Delta Bell Shepard, born December 2014) they seem even happier. We have to say we love it when great women like Kristen prove to the world that societal norms are nothing but nonsense. You have to love yourself for what you are, be happy and prioritize the right things in life. When you’re mentally happy, a healthy body will reflect that.
