Healthy is the new skinny!

These days, all stars are thin and beautiful. While this subject is stressed so much already, its important to talk about it. Whether it's as far as anorexia, or just deficiencies, women are hurting their bodies to look perfect. Lately, allot of models and celebrities have been coming out and talking about how they changed their lifestyles, or have always been healthy and want to make a point of advertising it to show young people that they don't have to hurt themselves to be beautiful inside and out. I wanted to list some amazing, gorgeous and smart models, that are thin, yes, but not waif-ish, they are beautiful and healthy.

First off is a model i've previously mentionned, Coco Rocha. Naturally thin, but not starving herself to look like a "perfect" model, who bravely ignored people who told her to lose weight. Brooklyn Decker, Bar Rafaeli, Alek Wek, Lara Stone, Doutzen Kroes, a well known Victoria's Secret model. Heidi Klum, another Victoria's Secret model, actress, tv host, fashion designer and business woman. Very well know Tyra Banks, who has modeled her whole life, hosts America's Next Top Model and is an author and businesswoman, is one of the biggest of these for promoting a healthy weight. These are all well known models that know how to treat their body right, and stand up for a healthy size and weight against picky labels.



The point here is to prove that anyone that has a healthy body is beautiful, whether they are skinny or not. People need to get over the fact that when some people have good diets and plenty of exercise they can still have some weight on them, not everyone is naturally thin. For example, Demi Lovato, who has been made fun of for her size, even though she is now healthy after rehab (for an eating disorder). To me, she is beautiful and the perfect size, many have chosen to be cruel towards her, even though shes naturally curvy. People will be people and theres nothing we can do about it except keep a healthy attitude and therefore a healthy body image.

  1. I'm so glad you've mentioned Demi Lovato! The stuff people are saying about her because she put on weight (which I might add, is a healthy amount) is ridiculous. She looks great and it's sad that she's being criticized because she's not a size 0! I hope people soon realize that its hurtful and harmful, especially if the person being criticized is self-conscious.

  2. I agree with Kailey. It's sad to see that a lot of people are going to rehab cause of their weight. Demi Lovato was pretty the way she was, and now she's stunning. She should be used as an example to every one out there who's not thin like a stick. You don't have to be stick-thin to be beautiful.
