Weight a Minute....

I absolutely HATE how women are judged on what size they are. It's in the media ALL the time about who weighs what, what size an actress is, how a musician dropped the weight.

OK Magazine's cover story: "Jessica Simpson's Revenge Diet. How I Lost 10 Pounds in 10 Days!" Really Jessica? What kind of message does this send to women (let alone girls)? Poor Jessica got trashed for gaining what, 5-10 pounds? The woman's curvy, give a girl a break.

What I hate more is when women are trashed in the media for their size, come out and say "I love my body!" and then turn around on the cover of some snot mag about "How I Lost the Weight." Hello Jennifer Love Hewitt? It's Hypocrisy calling! Now don't get me wrong, I feel bad for any woman being judged on how she looks but if you say you're a role model for women then BE ONE!

Here's what's way worse. You're a celebrity and you gain weight. You're Kelly Clarkson (xoxo to Kelly) and you say you're find at any weight and tell people to go blow themselves. Then you get on the cover of Self and they Photoshop you into a new, thinner version. What's that saying to Kelly? I wasn't good enough before? Thinner = better, more lovely, more..... What's that saying to women?

From abcnews.com, "Editors for SELF Magazine are responding to questions as whether they heavily airbrushed the September issue of the women’s lifestyle mag, which features sometimes-portly American Idol Kelly Clarkson.

“Yes, of course

we do post-production corrections on our images,” Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger told The Insider Thursday." "Kelly Clarkson exudes confidence, and is a great role model for women of all sizes and stages of their life. She works out and is strong and healthy, and our picture shows her confidence and beauty. She literally glows from within. That is the feeling we'd all want to have. We love this cover and we love Kelly Clarkson."

She exudes confidence ONLY if she's thin? She's a great role model ONLY if she appears to wear a size 6? You love her ONLY if she doesn't appear as she is. You know what Self? You can bite me. And you know what ABC news? Portly? PORTLY?? You can bite me too.
