I just saw 2 female middle aged celebs on gossip sites wearing revealing clothing/swimwear, and their bodies looked like mine! I am 42 and feeling frustrated with my body. I exercise lightly and eat healthy, but I also don’t obsess over my body. It doesn’t look amazing but it is healthy and I can still do everything I want or need to do. I don’t have Botox or fillers or lipo or tummy tucks or a boob job. I do have a partner who genuinely adores me, works hard to keep me happy, and we have a fantastic sex life.
There’s no point here really except that I appreciate real women, even during this Ozempic/Botox/duck lip/boob job/Brazilian butt lift era. |

| I can't stand women like you who think skinny = abnormal. Like all skinny people are obsessed over their body, when overweight people likely obsess more. The title of your post talks about "size" but then your thread talks about surgery and fake. There are fat people who do surgery/botox you know. |

Real women=fat
Skinny women=fake Is that what you're saying OP? I hope you don't have daughters. |

If you’re skinny as a grown woman then chances are you’re anorexic or seriously mentally disturbed. |

You are the mentally disturbed one. Are you OK? Do you hate all people who are not fat like you? |

Reese Witherspoon must be one. Maybe Jennifer Love Hewitt for the other? |

Yes, they have normal middle-aged bodies. Probably size 6 and 10, respectively. Look bigger standing next to the size 0s, but really aren't. They look great. |

Sweetie, breathe. Nobody is attacking you personally. No need to flip out. "skinny" isn't normal for most people. Some people are naturally quite thin, but the "skinny" thing is cultural, not genetic, and past about 35, it becomes incredibly difficult for people who aren't naturally thin to maintain "skinny". It does require a certain level of obsession, and resources, and invested time. That's why it's considered a social status marker: if it were natural, more people would look that way naturally and there'd be less power in it. Celebrities derive a lot of their social status and power from this skinniness. Very few of them are naturally thin people. Most of them have personal trainers, chefs, dieticians, and some really screwy eating habits. It's a known part of celebrity culture. A startling amount of female celebrities have had extensive "work" done, well beyond botox. It's not unreasonable to experience some difficulty finding normal-sized celebs, because the industry doesn't really support them. The thread isn't about all skinny women. It's about a lack of body diversity in celebrity culture. If you can't see the reality of that, well, that's a you issue. |

Do you think so re: Reese? She is short. I’m her height, a size 6, and look noticeably heavier than she does. I think she’s a 2-4 and even that looks heavy in Hollywood. |

Reese has never looked heavy. She is just not sick-looking like the rest of the celebs. |

Oprah & Rosie O’Donnell? By the way, what up with Caroline Kennedy & wrinkles? |
