Model with flabby tummy shocks the world

[MmeLindt]

According to the Daily Mail

How sad is that? That we are so used to the airbrushed perfection of models that a tiny pic of a normal woman causes such a fuss.

She is 5ft 11in and 12 1/2st and is considered too big to model plus sizes

I think she looks fab. I have a wee tummy just like hers and she has made me feel much better about it.

4 stone 4 lbs.

4 stone

14lb to a stone so that is around 4 and a quarter stone which is a lot for a 13 year old and I also think she must have lost it fast to have the excess skin.

I don't think her tummy looks great, in fact I am quite shocked about it, in someone so young who hasn't had a child.
My tummy is better and I have had a child and am 11 years older.

However, she is gorgeous, has a lovely figure and it is good for once to see real.
I'd far rather look at that, than at fake perfect.

Does anyone else ever imagine Anna living in Stoke On Trent, eating a Macca's with her hammer pants on whilst watching Jezza?

No?

Just me then.

The french people I have met have not been as boring, shallow and narrow minded as is being portrayed here. Were Paris really full of people with Bonsoir Anna's mindset, I can't think of anywhere less appealing.

The model looks pretty but really how sad that it is such a big deal...

Mugggle, I do (have said similar on thread, but appreciate this is a biggy!), though I think of shell suits, perhaps a scrunchie???

Oh yes, A shell suit and a scruncie!.
I'll bet there is a cheap nylon Disney nightie before she gets dressed though, and it gets crumbs of cheap white toast and jam stuck to it.

That is pretty bitchy.

Manatee, it is obvious that Anna does not live in Stoke and I am sure she does not own a scrunchie or a shell suit, if you read the thread you will see that I objected to the abusive comments directed towards Anna earlier on today.
This was very obviously a Joke!

I noticed it was a joke...but jokes often are bitchy, and this seemed to be one of those occasions!

Has anyone noticed that thing where all French women of a certain age get that sort of spikey purplish red Julie Walters haircut?

Manatee, it really wasn't meant to be bitchy, in hindsight I suppose it was bit though.

Think of it as picturing your driving instructor/boss/whoever on the loo because then you'll feel less annoyed.

I don't think there were any anti-French comments - more a reaction to some of the 'ooh French women are so chic and slim and eat nothing compared to all the fat ugly greedy mingers in the UK...oh yes and English cities are scruffy too'

What I meant was what OrmIrian says.

I have agreed with Anna about similar issues in the past, but I think she goes to extremes and does seem to suggest that all Parisians are chic and slim and gorgeous, and all UK women are fat and stuffing down the biscuits.

It gets rather tiresome.

I perhaps was rather bitchy, and for that I apologise.

FWIW, I'm not fat and I don't like biscuits, or Jezza.
I love Matthew Wright though

Muggglewump, that is exactly it, well said, what I was trying to say but failed.
Bet you're really a massive fan of Jezza

IN your scrunchie, eating pork scratchings, with a shell suit on........

Runs as fast as her lumpy English legs can take her......................

On all the comments about comparing yourself to the women around you, what is wrong with being comfortable in your own skin, without having to look at those around you as a measuring stick?

Noooooo, I don't eat Pork scratchings, a friend once told me she had one with a hair attached

I love beef jerky though. I could eat that by the bucketful, whilst watch Matthew Wright.

Where would we be without bonsoiranna and her lively posts?

French women may be skinnier, but not always healthier, they may have more easting disorders?

Wasn't liposuction 'perfected' by a french surgeon after unfortunate deaths?

Do french women still smoke more death sticks?

Is french coffee still more akin to rocket fuel?

Do they still work less hours, have longer sick leave and holidays, and hey presto, less stress = less weight gain?

Walk more? (at least in Paris cabs are often hard to hail as they seem to have cab shortages).

grrrrrr at airbrushing in magazines. But all power to the model if she is happy with the pics. So many women achieve so much every day and wouldn't it be refreshing if moronic magazines promoted positive pieces about achievers regardless of body size but hey advertisers have a vested interest in making women feel miserable so they can sell lipstick, cremes, plastic surgery and all the other silly things we buy!

whats 'francophile'?
keep reading it but dont understand?

what snapple said. I reckon half the economy is kept going by making women feel inadequate so they keep buying new clothes when the old ones haven't worn out and lotions and makeup all promising to make you into a new person. Should be happy with th person you are.

Ah ok, I see what you mean, and do agree that her posts were incredibly .
We should definitely be aiming for the HAES (Health At Every Size) approach, and being happy as who we are, rather than trying to live up to a very warped ideal. It is also a very Western, and modern ideal. In other cultures (and indeed the world of fat admirers (the subject of my diss) larger, even obese women are favored. Whilst I am not convinced by claims of being healthy at a morbidly obese size, an awful lot of health problems attributed to fat, are actually caused by attempts to loose fat rather than the fat itself, however the diet industry and media love to respond to these cases (including weight loss surgery deaths) with "It was a case of treatment coming too late to save them", rather than "oops, we killed them".
Sorry, that is a bit rambling!

Cheesesarnie, a francophile is someone who is very keen on France

I like crepes and gauffres but hate the animal based diet (went out with a french bloke many years ago. Couldn't eat anything his parents made!)

Othersideofthechannel-thanks!

id love to put on weight-a stone or so.
