Weight Loss.. too far?



You are always seeing celebrities on tv being extremely too thin. I'm not sure if it's the stress or what but they seem to be getting skinnier and skinnier, usually to a point that isn't healthy. There is nothing wrong with doing a little exercise and eating healthy, but not eating or choosing some other form of loosing weight may not be safe. This video clip is some before and after shots of people. You decide if they are healthy or not.

  1. This video clip is a good way of showing how some people do take weight loss to the extreme. Most of the people in the video look very unhealthy too skinny they look all bones. There were a few people that look healthy after loosing the weight, but I agree there is other ways of loosing weight the correct way, eating right and working out. Sometimes people just see themselves as over weight no matter how thin they actually are, it's sad.

  2. I think having being constantly judged and being publicly nit picked at for the slightest imperfections has defiantly put an overwhelming amount of stress on celebrities. They all go on these outrageous diets and workout to an unhealthy level to try an maintain being extremely skinny and underweight. They pride themselves on being at unreachable level of thin because they think it looks good but it in fact makes them appear very gaunt and unhealthy looking.

  3. This was an excellent choice of video; it basically says it all. It's scary sometimes how far people go to get what they think is the ideal body. I don't think it's about looking good in a bathing suit or how much weight you can put up in the gym though, it's about being comfortable in your own skin. I wish people could learn how to be comfortable without being unhealthy and unsafe.

  4. Hollywood is a different world. One that isn't "real." The lengths that actors and actresses go to in order to stay thin are unreal. There are some circumstances where they diet in a healthy way or go to the gym a few times a week. In other cases like Lindsay Lohan for instance, her weight fluctuates constantly usually to the point where she looks like skin and bones. These celebrities are also the reason average american girls think their fat and become anorexic and bulimic.
