Weight

by

The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil is now claiming that Khloe Kardashian has been "fat shamed into a prison of self-critique" following an Instagram post by the reality tv star.

Jamil is an ardent advocate of women's right and body positivity, and currently runs the i Weigh campaign to show women that their worth doesn't stop at their weight.

She is also a prominent speaker for banning airbrushing in the beauty industry, and refuses to allow photographers or magazine publications to edit her image.

The 32-year-old campaigns to end body dysmorphia, and has now focused on Khloe Kardashian for her repeatedly damaging messages aimed at young women.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star posted a message to her Instagram story which said: “2 things a girl wants: 1) Lose weight 2) Eat.”

Jamil screenshot the message and uploaded it to Twitter, writing "This makes me sad. I hope my daughter grows up wanting more than this. I want more than this. Sending love to this poor woman. This industry did this to her."

“The media did it to her. They fat shamed her into a prison of self critique. Dear girls, WANT MORE THAN THIS,” she concluded.

Jamil has previously criticised the Kardashian clan for their weight-loss product endorsements, which are essentially laxative meal replacements and possibly encourage body dysmorphia.

The former T4 presenter argues that the family capitalise from the insecurity of others, making money from “the blood and tears of young women who believe in them”.

Jamil attended the Golden Globes with her The Good Place co-stars last Sunday, where the show was nominated for best television series, and claimed she has no intentions of stopping her campaigning.

She told the Press Association: “They’ll have to kill me to stop me talking out about the rights of women and minorities. It’s something I feel really passionately about I’ve been talking about it for years, I just didn’t have the platform that this amazing show has given me.

“I understand some people think I’m speaking out where it’s not my place, for groups who I don’t necessarily represent, or represent anymore, but I think someone has to say something," she added.

“And no-one listens to the people from marginalised groups so those of us with privilege have a duty to speak out so that their voices can be heard.” Dead right Jameela. You do you, gal.

Emmy Rossum posted a bada** selfie on her Instagram, empowering women everywhere to focus on what really matters.

She officially joined the “I Weigh” movement, originally started by Jameela Jamil after a photo of the Kardashians was released with their weight plastered across their bodies.

The photo then asked people if Kim really looked like she weighed 56kg and asked to comment “which weight are you?!?” 

Ya, we can't believe that happened either.

Jameela expressed her disgust at how women were being branded by their body size, replacing their identity with the number on a scale.

The Instagram influencer called this distorted view “toxic nonsense” and responded with a selfie, filled with descriptions of who she truly is:

“Lovely Relationship,” “Great Friends,” and “I laugh everyday” flood the background of her photo.

The Good Place actress gave the finger to judgemental haters with the words “F****** KG” in huge letters across the picture’s bottom.

Many women have been inspired by Jameela’s message and have proudly posted similar “I Weigh” photos.

The body celebration movement is exactly the type of positivity we need in our lives, reminding us that we are so much more than what the world labels us as.

Shameless actress Emmy Rossum wanted to be a part of Jameela’s movement as well.

“During my life the scale has told me that I’ve gained and lost […] in the range of 20 pounds. But that piece of metal doesn’t really know.

“Here is what I ACTUALLY WEIGH.” Emmy posted a selfie on her story labelled with facts about who she identifies as.

“Jewish and Proud,” “Drive,” “Animal Rescuer,” “100+ hours of television,” “One finished screenplay,” and “Countless hours of therapy” is splayed across her selfie.

The young star aims to encourage girls everywhere with Jameela’s message.

“So join me in this. Show people what you are actually made of,” Emmy writes.

“Because you are so much more than a f****** number.”

If you want to join Emmy and Jameela in this girl power movement, post a similar selfie and caption it with all the characteristics that truly comprise who you are.

We're used to seeing those 'motivational' before and after body shots plastered all over Instagram, promoting the ideal that thinner is better and that being a certain shape will make you happier.

Emily Bador, who battled with her body to maintain a typically model-esque physique, has since embraced a healthier lifestyle and is challenging this concept with a snap of her own, but her post has a difference.

The stunning model posts powerful body positivity posts on the regular, but her latest 'before and after' style post is particularly harrowing. 

 

A post shared by e m i l y bador (@darth_bador) on

'2 years, 2/3 dress sizes up and about 5/6 inches different waist measurements. and you know what? I'm finally, FINALLY content with my body,' she began.

'I don't have panic attacks pre leaving the house anymore, I eat whatever I want and I don't feel guilty after, and i'm not in the gym every f****** day.'

'It's not the body you see idolised in the media, but I've never felt so confident.'

'Your mental health is so important, don't let society tell you that you need to look a certain way to feel beautiful, you are absolute fire and it's not worth compromising your physical or mental heath to fit society's bullshit Eurocentric beauty standards.'

 

A post shared by e m i l y bador (@darth_bador) on

'When I took the photo on the left I was on holiday in Croatia, too light headed to go out with my mates because I refused to eat carbs, I refused to drink booze because of the calories and spent all week inside because I felt too horrific to do anything,' she said, reflecting on the damaging process she put her body and mind through to stay so slim.  

'And the photo on the right I leave my house every day, work so f******* hard, I go to the gym twice/three times a week, eat carbs, enjoy everything and don't feel awful about myself?'

'I don't really know what my conclusion was gonna be other than just remember you look f****** bomb no matter what, and as long as you feel good about yourself and you take care of your physical and mental health that's all that matters,' she concluded.

All we can say is thank you Emily, for reminding us that our mental health should be our top priority, and that all bodies are completely and utterly beautiful.

By now, it's been drilled into us that the number on our weighing scales is not important.

And while

Body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly used measure of body fat, there's another number that we should be keeping our eyes on.

A recent study, from researchers in the UK and Australia, analysed data on body composition and mortality on more than 42,000 women and men over the course of 10 years.

Image result for bmi

They found that people with a normal BMI (between 18.5 and 25) but with a high waist-to-hip ratio (above 0.85 for women or 0.9 for men) were 22 per cent more likely to die from any and all causes.

People who were found to be obese (BMI above 30) and have a high waist-to-hip ratio also had a greater chance of dying than normal-waisted people.

But, here is the intriguing part. People who were obese, but had a normal waist-to-hip ratio did not have an increased risk of death, despite being overweight.

Image result for bmi

This could mean that we need to focus more on our waist-to-hip ratio rather than our BMI.

The study backs up previous findings that found a link between excess belly fat and mortality rate.

We may start to pay more attention to our mid-sections than anything else now.

Researchers have found that 'diet' foods can actually make you put on weight and contribute to an array of other health problems.

Scientists from the University of Georgia conducted a study and found that even though high-fat foods are often targeted for obesity, it's actually sugar-laden 'diet' products which cause the most harm.

In the study, rats were fed the equivalent of 'diet' foods (high in sugar but low in fat) and saw that this actually made them put on weight when compared to a balanced rodent diet.

The study's principal investigator, Krzysztof Czaja, said: "Most so-called diet products containing low or no fat have an increased amount of sugar and are camouflaged under fancy names, giving the impression that they are healthy.

"The reality is that those foods may damage the liver and lead to obesity as well."

Krzysztof continued: "What's really troubling in our findings is that the rats consuming high-sugar, low-fat diets didn't consume significantly more calories than the rats fed a balanced diet.

"Our research shows that rats fed a low-fat, high-sugar diet, the efficiency of generating body fat is more than twice as high — in other words, rats consuming low-fat high-sugar diets need less than half the number of calories to generate the same amount of body fat."

The unbalanced diets also caused chronic inflammation in the intestinal tract and brain. which Krzysztof believes damages the vagus nerve, which controls sensory signals, including the brain's ability to determine when you're full.

"The brain changes resulting from these unbalanced diets seem to be long term, and it is still not known if they are reversible by balanced diets," she said.

Little Mix Star Jesy Nelson’s newly toned physique has grabbed her fans attention recently.

One fan said she was “sad” to see the star losing her curves, with another asking her not to become “super thin”.  We over at SHEmazing HQ think she looks great, love the skin you’re in!

However, fans have paid more heed to her stripped walls, after Jesy posted a pic of herself looking AMAZING on New Year’s Eve standing in front of stripped walls.

One shocked fan commented, “The state of that house though”, while another likened it to a “student house”, and one commenter joked, “Interior goals”.

One fan even offered to do the work in return for a few beers.

Seems no one took into consideration that singer could possibly be in the midst of redecorating!

Fans of the 24-year-old soon jumped to her defence, with one branding the haters “busy bodies”.

Another wrote, “I don’t understand why people are commenting where the picture was taken, maybe she was at a friend’s house who’s redecorating or recently moved in? Just because she’s famous doesn’t mean she can’t have pictures taken with a perfect background”.

We couldn’t agree more.

Her recent weight-loss has been much commented on – especially as the latest series of GoggleBox has now kicked off. 

But birthday girl Scarlett Moffatt today shared with her Instagram fans an example of her incredible weight-loss transformation.

Playfully writing "lady in red," she stated: "Last birthday eve vs this birthday eve. Going into the ripe age of 26 a better me."

However, it was the accompanying side-by-side comparison that really impressed.

And while last year she also looked gorgeous in a similarly-hued gown for her 25th celebrations, there can be no doubt how far she as come in just a year.

The Newcastle-native has credited her health-conscious beau Luke Crodden, with whom she moved in with earlier this year, with helping her to kick her bad eating and lifestyle habits.

It is believed that the GoggleBox star, who shot to fame alongside her family on the Channel 4 show, has dropped from a size 16 to a size 8/10.

With the snap quickly garnering 50K likes just hours after being shared, fans were eager to offer their praise too. 

"You look amazing! You should do a few posts on any tips and tricks you've used/learnt along the way… I know I'd be interested," wrote one.

In a similar vein, another added: "Amazing transformation would like know how you lost soo much weight as I tried everything thanks again you look amazing."

"Please make a blog of your daily exercise plan + food diary I'm so inspired but would love to see the story from someone normal!" chipped in a further fan.

She’s remained defiant against bodyshamers, but it seems Chanelle Hayes may be feeling reminiscent of her slimmer days.

Having recently been snapped wearing a small black bikini while holidaying in Spain, the former Big Brother star has taken to Instagram to share two throwback beach pictures.

The first photo was taken while she was pregnant with her now six-year-old son, Blakely, and the second – which was posted today – came from a calendar shoot she did in 2014.

While the 28-year-old television personality’s weight has fluctuated drastically over the years, she recently told the Mail Online that her critics should “eat a croissant and get over it”.

And it seems Chanelle’s fans are supportive of her confidence as her latest upload features comments which suggest she looks as good at size 16 as she did at size 8.

She’s one of Ireland’s best known faces, but that doesn’t mean Roz Purcell’s modelling career has been totally free from worry.

In a new interview with the Diary, the Tipperary native has revealed how in the past she felt pressurised to lose weight for work, but claims that these days she’s more interested in feeling well than being slim.

Speaking of her time in the States, the 26-year-old said: “When you’re in a job that’s based on aesthetics people feel they can comment on your aesthetics.  When I was modelling abroad, people would just say things to you…They would say you need to lose weight, straight up.”

Since changing her career focus, Roz admits she has become less stressed about her weight.

“I had such baby fat and my eyebrows were different.”

“You learn through your makeup like using lip liner. Before, lip liner wasn't really a thing. There's a lot of different elements through the years that I have changed.”

“I don't really know how much I weigh.  I'm more about how I feel now and I'm not obsessed with weighing myself at all.  I used to be, but I've taken a step back from it.”

The Natural Born Feeder creator – who is currently dating music promotor Zach Desmond – also confessed that dealing with her sister’s leukaemia diagnosis has given her a new outlook on life.

“I used to be a really anxious person but since Rachel, I have completely changed.”

“I don’t worry about anything.  Stress is a contributor to so many different things, I completely avoid it.  I would always look for what could go wrong.  Nothing keeps me awake at night now.”

In a society of extremes, women at every end of the curve spectrum are constantly being scrutinised for their size.

But while many of us opt to suffer such criticism in silence, one Miss Italy contestant has decided to defend her curvaceous frame from the abuse hurled at it by antagonistic trolls.

After receiving a collection of bodyshaming comments both online and in person, 22-year-old Paola Torrente hit back at her haters by publically declaring that she will not be turned against her curves by the negativity of others.

Speaking to the Mail Online, the size 14 brunette – who was told she has “too much flesh” to compete in a beauty pageant by Croatian model Nina Moric – explained how she believes the best way to deflect people’s negativity is by focusing on the happiness which exists in her own life.

She said: “I want to tell young women to accept themselves and to understand that feeling good and being happy is the most powerful thing to fight people’s words and thoughts.”

Since taking second place in this year’s pageant, the engineering student has received great praise from young girls who see her body confidence as an inspiration, a situation which Paola says makes her feel “surprised and proud”.

“They made me feel good too. And maybe in that sense I am a role model, but firstly I'm just a very normal 22-year-old girl.”

During the interview, Paola – who is from Angri, an area south of Naples – also pointed out the conflicted nature of a beauty industry which is still widely seen as pushing traditional depictions of perfection on an audience which is becoming increasingly more open to body diversity.

She said: “I embrace my curves at 360 degrees, and I'm never ashamed of them. There are many women that chose surgery to become more curvy.”

However the 5ft 9 model – who works out regularly to maintain her figure – also acknowledged that the pageant scene is changing for the better.

“The stereotype of the tall, skinny girl started in the 1990s and girls became skinnier every year,” noted Paola.

“Now a lot of girls that don't fit the beauty ideal of tall and skinny compete. That's a really good thing, it means mentality is changing.”

Over the past few years an increasing number of so-called dieting experts have preached the banning of carbohydrates as a means of losing weight.

But unfortunately for those of us whose willpower can at times be a little lax, dodging an entire – and terribly delicious – food group can quickly become a major struggle.

Thankfully a number of women have come forward in recent months to share their carb positive body transformation stories, and if Madalin Frodsham’s bikini pics are anything to go by, we’ve a feeling carbohydrates aren’t as detrimental to dieters as many would have you believe.

After growing sick of constantly having to count calories, the 27-year-old Australian sought the help of a nutrition coach who advised her to up the volume of carbs in her diet by a massive 45 percent.

Admittedly, this news didn't exactly send Madalin straight into the arms of a bread, pasta and chip-filled love fest, but in order to reach her body transformation goals she did increase the levels of complex carbohydrates in her diet.

 

I was chatting with my good friend  @gracemaeslay about fitness the other day. She's super fit and runs her own Beyoncé style dance classes (I know, epic!) and she was like "yup I'm doing to do Kayla now!" I think she knows that if I can do it, she can most definitely do it because she knows I was the most unfit person alive!  Anyway, she did the first circuit and messaged me basically dying  I didn't have much words of encouragement… Haha basically said it gets worse before it gets better! But she's so freaking determined and was like "you know what I tell myself? It's only 30 minutes."  I couldn't agree with her more! When I first started I'd lay in bed for half an hour coming up with excuses to not do it. I've now learnt to not even question it, wake up, lace up and go #gogetitgurl Leggings and crop: @publicmyth

Complex carbs are those which are made up of long chains of sugar molecules and include wholemeal grains, legumes and everyone’s favourite sweet potatoes.

According to the Daily Mail Australia, eating more carbohydrates while keeping track of her macronutrient intake – the levels of carbs, protein and fats in the diet – allowed Ms Frodsham to increase her body’s muscle definition without changing her exercise regime or weight.

Interestingly this process also allowed Madalin to up her calorie intake from 800 calories per day to 1,800.

So, what’s Madalin’s advice to those avoiding these nutritious delights?  Well obviously: Carb it up!

“Don’t do what I did for so long,” she said.  “Don’t waste your time eating salad when you could be eating sweet potatoes and banana pancakes.”

Madalin, we really like your style!

If you're the kind of woman who can happily hop up on the bathroom scales fully-clothed after a big dinner, then we take our hat off to you.

As gals who feel the need to get butt-naked before even glancing at our scales, your attitude is the type we aspire towards.

But until then, we'll seek comfort in the fact Chrissy Teigen employs the same kind of batsh*t crazy logic many of us do when it comes to that godforsaken sad step.

Taking to Twitter last night, everyone's favourite model offered some practical advice to anyone currently fighting the battle of the bulge, and it's definitely worth considering after a weekend of beer and burritos.

"Just a PSA that if u weigh yourself and take a pic of the scale number you gotta subtract 14 lbs of phone weight that's what I tell myself," she wrote in a post which has been liked more than 20,000 times so far.

Adding to the dialogue, fans of the star suggested her phone may not be as heavy as theirs, with one writing: "Your phone is really light. Mine weighs 20lbs."

"I'm going to need to hold like 4 phones," wrote one while another added: "An extra pound for the phone case too!"

"Don't forget to subtract 3 lbs for your hair and 10 lbs for your brain," reminded another of the model's online followers.

And then there's the weight of your emotions…
