I cant look at Mindy Kaling anymore.
Yes, its only because theyre significantly thinner.
Celebrities and weight loss itself arent my enemies here.

Sometimes its healthy, sometimes its not, and sometimes its neither.
Regardless, those reasons or the fact that it happens are none of my business usually.
Adele apparentlylost 100 poundsjust by lifting weights and doing circuit training, according to what my phone tells me.
It sends the message that a larger body bang out is not ideal and could and should be changed.
You might not have the budget to buy food that hasnt been processed.
Celebrities dont live in reality.
At home, your personal nutritionist prepares post-workout smoothies and perfectly proportioned meals.
You might even have an appointment with a doctor to discreetly discussliposuctionor going onOzempic.
That presents a very simplistic view of how a persons weight is determined.
In the most extreme cases, that can mimic or be a symptom of having an eating disorder.
The more likely we are to internalize those ideas, the worse our body image is.
And I do, indeed, internalize that, even though I don’t want to.
I hate it when celebrities lose weight, especially those who are or once were plus-size.
And it’s certainly not that people in the spotlight should feel morally obligated to remain plus-size.
If celebrity weight-loss content is what brings traffic to a publication, theyll keep making it.
What are those other problems?
Is forcing my body to change a realistic or healthy way to get rid of them?
But it is something we can learn to discuss and dissect to a greater degree than she/he/they look better/worse.
