Her arms just look way too thin, the article is not the greatest photos but a quick google makes her look even thinner.

You don't need fat reserves for breastfeeding, famine or pregnancy in affluent countries. What we eat on a daily basis is what is used for both the pregnancy and breast feeding. It's only if you'll struggle to get the extra nutrition you need reserves in advance.
And 'people that thin' still have some body fat as a reserve for illness. Let's be realistic, with our access to health care if you're seriously ill, no medical professional is going to say 'fuck it, no alternative nutrition for this one, they could do with losing a bit'.

www.pawsforkids.org.uk foster pets in this situation, I have donated money to them in the past, they seem a very caring charity. Worth contacting them.

Er, wrong thread! I have two windows open..arggh. Sorry

No Minty but I don't believe anyone is genuinely concerned here at all, it's just gossip and judginess, if anything, some people enjoy a lovely rant about how so and so is 'too thin', and has had 'work' done and other irrelevant nonsense just being snippy about anything if someone is a celeb.

She might have anorexia, so might I, so might you, so might ohh let's say Jimmy Carr, or Leona Lewis, or Jasper Carrot, we don't know. But there is absolutely no evidence of that at all, and enjoying speculating about it is just grim, and it is bodyshaming thin people. She's thin, that does not necessarily mean depressed, disordered eating or anorexia, which is a serious mental illness not at all the same as just being very slim.

I'm not even pretending to be concerned if I'm honest. I looked at the pictures in the link out of curiosity and my opinion is that they show someone underweight.

it's not normal to see ribs because normal is fat these days!

she is very slender but she has flesh on her buttocks and you can see lean tissue in her limbs so no I dont think she is dangerously thin

I see concern, you see judging.

I say tom-ah-to you say tom-eh-to.

Etc

It's judging because unless you're party to her private habits, you are leaping to the conclusion that thin automatically means unhealthy and a potentially fatal mental illness, on the basis of her appearance because it's one you've decided isn't desirable.

Back on page 3, I commented on the link that posted pics of Cheryl and and a slim male in the same article. NO ONE has commented on/ compared them...

Prob because the thread is about Cheryl and very few people read all the posts.

The linked post showed other pics of another male celeb who looked equally slim. But anyhow, I'll leave you to it.

She looks bloody awful. She is however an adult woman and can be whatever size and shape she chooses. If she thinks she looks dandy then I disagree, but she probably thinks I look like a hippopotamus.

I thought Nick Grimshaw looked thin, just like Cheryl. They are famous & it is fashionable & aspirational to be thin, it doesn't necessitate judgement or pity. Far from it - they are enviably wealthy & successful, no doubt to the skinny shamers chagrin.

I think the two main points are she is not naturally that slim (refer to her early Girls Aloud days) and she just doesn't look happy. Yes, she still has her pretty smile, but her eyes tell a different story imo.

I hope she is happy.
I had a very similar frame and size for much of my life - 5 feet tall and size 4 . Gained weight when Dh finally told me that I looked child like and it was actually affecting our relationship . And yes , I admit it was too thin. She looks very very thin.

I would hesitate to call her 'too thin' without knowing more, but she certainly looks thinner than I've seen her before, and she is beautiful regardless of her weight.

I don't think those hideous baggy trousers that cover her feet do her any favours to be honest. For all the money she has and the stylists who work with her, she has zero dress sense.

If she is has a problem, my sympathies are with her.

But if she thinks she is rocking a good look, I'm appalled. She is in the public eye, she has a huge captive audience of young girls on an X factor night and I just thank god my DDs are past the stage of wanting to emulate anyone in the public eye. She has a duty of care beause she earns zillions to be in this position and she should think more carefully about the message she is giving out. How she looks at the moment is not her natural look or weight, she is skeletal and how many young kids will look at her on a saturday night whilst watching X factor and want to be like her?

I know what I was like when I was too thin. I defended it vigorously. I was way thinner than I should have been for my frame. I have a feeling Cheryl is in this mode.

She doesn't have a 'duty of care' that's a daft thing to say...do you know what 'duty of care' means?
?
I suppose you can make an argument that those in the public eye have a moral duty to consider that those who look up to them may try to emulate them. ?
Reality is that most people in the public eye behave just as badly as the rest of us, probably more so.
Do we criticize all the famous porkers for setting a bad example??

She's too fat or she's too thin, she has a duty of care and needs to be more responsible blah blah blah. Honestly, there's no room for being a human being with flaws or problems or occasionally going through harder times if you are in the public eye. The pressure must be horrendous and certainly would only make any issues much worse. If there were pictures showing she'd gained a few pounds there would be much sniggering or people saying she must be pregnant or something.

That's what I mean by saying it's all faux concern, no one really cares what may or may not be wrong, it's just an excuse for a few digs at a famous woman's expense.

The phrase 'short-haired beauty' is hilarious (from the mirror article). How can they write this stuff?

You might disagree but it's what I feel. If she is deliberately working at being as thin as she can be (think she's reached that stage) whilst earning mega bucks on the panel of Xfactor which it is known that young girls watch her every move, obsess about her, copy her etc, yes she does have some sort of duty. She is on prime time Saturday night telly and gets paid hugely for it. With that comes some sort of responsibility I think. Maybe I'm in cloud cuckoo land, but it is my thoughts on it.

As I said in a previous post - IF she is suffering, IF she has an eating disorder, IF she is going through trauma, she has my sympathies but IF she is more or less starving herself, she doesn't. She is not at the low end of a natural body weight, she is skeletal.

a duty of care is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others

Roussette you are wrong she has no duty of care

do you mean that you believe she ought to have a legal obligation?
