ROLL MODEL? Where do you see rolls on her body? Hunh? So fine, she's gained more weight since she was 16 but for goodness's sake people gain weight when they mature, it's only natural! Shame on you, the Daily Telegraph for adding to the negative media portrayal of the ideal feminine weight. So a girl only have to gain some weight for the media to go all out and start saying that she's battling with weight or saying that she's not how she use to be. To maintain the stick thin figure she used to have at 16 would be seriously unhealthy now that she's 21. But sadly, the article already mentions that Gemma's exercising to get rid of the weight.
Gemma, I just want to say no matter what everyone else say about you, I think you're perfect at any weight that you're comfortable with and healthy at. Its not worth it to put yourself through the strenuous exercise and probably diet regime just so you could go back to the figure you used to have, but isn't healthy for you anymore. To me, you're still that gorgeous girl who strutted Prada runway all those seasons ago!
I couldnt agree more with you,
ReplyDeleteIt's so refreshing when i come across posts like yours. I don't see why models should look like toothpicks in the first place, f.ex in the fashion industry: arent they suppose to be inspiring and selling clothes to the rest of us normal people of all body shapes? :-/
