Jennifer Love Hewitt is not fat. Neither is Tyra Banks. As Lynn Grefe, CEO of the National Eating Disorders Association notes, “It’s painful to see the constant pressure on girls to be a certain size. It’s so demeaning to people to keep apologizing for having a healthy size.” Especially women.
Absolutely true, and more women are taking a stance. Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, America Ferrera, and Nikki Blonsky are just some of the actresses wearing their curves with pride. Now if we can only get People magazine, which ran this week’s cover story on Hewitt, “Stop Calling Me Fat!” to stop running equally demeaning ‘Body After Baby’ features, will society continue making positive strides about women’s body image. A size 2 is never fat, but then neither is a size 10, 12, or 14.
