As many people know, I am BIG into celebrity gossip. It's definitely not a favorable characteristic of mine. But it's something I am dealing with. Who knows, maybe at this rate there will be a rehab for that problem, too. :) [another celebrity dig]
I digress. Anyway, on my routine perusal of people.com, I came across a Tyra Bank's article on her recent weight gain, 30lbs. In the article, Banks discusses the scrutiny over her weight and the hurt felt by such comments. She gages herself at roughly 161 lbs currently. That's my pre-Addison weight!!! [not mentioning current weight...let's just say, 161 sounds FABULOUS] She even admits to her comfort with wearing 32-inch waist jeans. Tyra has no problem with her weight, and has good health as well.
Well I say Kudos, to you, Tyra! What a great role model for teen girls. Body image is a huge issue for teenage girls, and it's nice to see someone who actually walks the walk of the just be yourself campaign. And she's not just a model who now looks thin instead of anorexic. Tyra Banks is a healthy girl. And I am SO proud of her for saying shame on you to those her mock her new image. Maybe this is a new awakening? After all, she was once atop the Supermodel food chain (no pun intended), and now can fit into a pair of my save-them-for-one-day-soon jeans hanging in my closet. :)
