Some people are very judgmental about super models when it comes to their eating habits. Some girls can be naturally skinny and yet still get bashed about it by other people because they don’t think they eat. But this model says she eats whatever she wants, but still doesn’t gain weight. There are some people who can eat whatever they please, but yet never gain weight. But that doesn’t mean they have an eating problem because they can’t gain weight. People shouldn’t feel good about themselves for being a twig, because personally I find that absolutely disgusting. I can only imagine the amount of models that get talked about for their weight and they don’t have any control over it. They shouldn’t get talked bad about because their “legs are too skinny”. If it doesn’t concern you at all, then why do people have to run their mouths about people.
Being completely honest, when I saw the article at first I was stunned by how thin the model is. I even threw around a few negative comments about her body image. But as I began reading the article, I realized that all I have ever thought about body image and self confidence was disregarded. It's been pounded into my brain as a young girl to accept not only other people's bodies, but my own. Girls have been told to "accept their curves" and "accept their flaws," but no one ever talks about the "skinny girl." I think that people just assume that skinnier girls have better lives because clothes fit them better or they "appear to be more appealing" to men. This truly reopened my eyes and showed me that this is not the case. Whether you're overweight, stick thin, or even seen as average, you have every right to be comfortable with your body. As they say, treat your body like a temple. Take care of your body because it's your permanent home. Most importantly, respect yourself because it's your body and it will be with you for as long as you live.
I completely agree with the model. It’s not her fault that she’s skinny. Also, even though she IS skinny, she isn’t disgustingly skinny. As long as she’s not anorexic and doesn’t have any problems with her body, I think that she’s fine. All of her points are valid. She even says that she loves food! How can people have a problem with that? Maybe she just has a high metabolism. That way, she could eat whatever she wants to eat, and she would still be skinny. Seriously, people are always talking about respecting people that are overweight but then they bash a skinny person. That makes NO sense. Just because someone is skinny doesn’t mean that they are anorexic or have other related issues. If you’re comfortable with the way that you are, then you should be allowed to be that way. I love that she’s so confident in herself. Instead of taking this criticism quietly she spoke out. I respect that, and I hope that people really stop to consider what she had to say.
Personally, I don't honestly care. Why is this person's weight and her in general more important and more interesting to people than anyone else? Not only are the reporters criticizing her for her choose, but they say it’s unhealthy. I can’t be sure if she’s naturally that skinny, because the article didn’t give me that information. That seems a bit strange, maybe biased. Also if she’s naturally that skinny it shouldn’t be a problem, but if this poses a threat to her health that’s when I would say that it’s okay for people to be concerned. However, not concerned in the way these ‘critics’ are. These people only care about sales and how good their clothes look, but not how healthy their models are. I would only be okay for people to be concerned and talk about this model only if she is damaging her health, anything beyond that like bullying or teasing her I do not approve of. But who am I to say any of this? Last I checked society doesn’t follow my life and anything I say or any instagram, twitter, or Facebook posts I post are meaningless compared to these models’ posts.
Well I’m not quite sure how to start this. I mean I guess I understand how it’s unfair for skinny models to be turned down because they’re too skinny, but if there are unhealthy it makes sense. It’s also not fair how some people think it is okay to say someone is too skinny, but it’s not okay to say someone is too big. It’s just really unfair for everyone. In the article it says how some people tell others that they are too skinny, but would never think of saying someone is too big. It’s very hypocritical. If people are going to say someone is too skinny and not think it’s going to bother them, then that’s wrong. Basically people need to stop judging other people and let everyone be happy in their own way, if someone’s happy being really skinny let them, if someone’s happy with a little extra weight let them be. It’s their decision not yours.
This is certainly something to think about. I can see the points on both sides, but in this I suppose I’d have to support the model. There is some sort of double standard between being overweight and underweight, and of people being judgmental of both. I think it has something to do with what we expect healthy to look like, and of how much we’re supposed to be eating. Not eating won’t necessarily lose your weight. In some cases, it could also cause you to gain weight. Similarly, eating a lot won’t necessarily cause you to gain weight. Some people are just more metabolic than others. While, sure, I like any other person might worry about someone else’s healthiness based on how they might appear (it’s how our society was raised by media standards), I won’t call them out on it unless it was something that was clearly detrimental to their health. In the case of this model and other models and other people who are “too skinny” or “too fat”, you have to understand that they are educated, intelligent adults capable of making their own decisions. You have to trust in the fact that they know what they’re doing, and that they’d know if something’s wrong. In this case, you also have to understand the fact that there is a clear difference between worrying about someone else’s wellbeing, and judging them for it. If something was wrong, do you think anything positive could come of hurtful words and a bad attitude? No. I don’t.
Before I even read this article the first thing that I noticed was the model, Cassi Van Den Dungen. Agreeing with the article she does looks skinny. But I’m glad that she is very confident in herself and expresses her self-confidence. I think that is the key thing. After reading this article the Australian model expressed some very valid points. For example it is more acceptable to call people anorexic but not acceptable to call people fat? Or people are more accepted to love there curves but not for their bones? If people are trying to promote body confidence, then why are people making rude disrupted comments toward them? As long as people have a healthy body and are happy with it then people should just let them be who they want to be.
This was one unique article. To be completely honest about this, I don’t care about how this model wants to look. It is her choice and it is her decision on how she wants to look. Also the way she looks is a major part of her career. All of her points in this article make sense. What I don’t understand is why people are deciding to care so much about the way she looks. She is not that skinny and she also said that she loves to eat a lot of food. So why do people care so much about how she looks? People in today’s society are so strict and mean. Anyone that looks too skinny or too fat everyone had to say something rude about that person. All of this makes society sound like a bunch of little Hitler’s running around saying if you don’t look perfect then you don’t belong here on this planet. Stop caring about how everyone else looks and start caring for only yourself.
The fact that the entire world preaches about being accepting of others, it is kind of ridiculous that these types of things still happen. Although it is understandable to me, seeing that if a person is unhealthily skinny or the opposite, unhealthily fat kids could definitely think that it is okay to become them. That is something I do not agree with at all. A lot of people do not understand how much pressure these models have on them though. They are forced to maintain a certain weight, most times an unhealthy one to keep their job. It’s not fair, and to be blunt, it’s not ethical. You think in this day and age we would have moved past this by now, but for some reason we seem to be stuck on everybody’s body image.
This article is good example on some of the things that occur in our society. It seems like society bashes people who are too underweight or too overweight. That’s the problem with our society. Everyone is controlled by the media and has to base their bodies off of it. This seems like the source of so much bullying in our society. In my opinion, leave her be. If she’s happy and she thinks she looks good, then so be it. Let people decide for themselves if they look good or not. In general, if someone is underweight or overweight and they’re happy they should be left alone. My parents have taught me growing up not to base my opinions on the appearance of a person, but how they act. That’s how our society should be.
In all honesty it is not anyones business about what she wants her body to be like. If she want to be skinny, then let her be skinny. Clearly it isn't a problem since she eats whatever she wants to eat. Models are told to be super tiny and have pretty much be a skeleton. If she likes the way her body looks, then that is her business. This is what is wrong with society. Everyone focuses on what everyone else is doing. But in reality why should we. Why does the way she looks matter? It honestly shouldn't. In my opinion everyone has the right to look the way they want to. Society tells people to look "perfect" but in reality everyone has their own view of perfection. All in all it shouldn't matter what other people look like. People need to start worrying about themselves more, and others less.
