I also recognize my own experience with tamoxifen and weight loss - so stop projecting you own "ED" issues! You people Are relentless!! |
Such a stupid question. |
I just don't get why Giuliana Rancic is being scrutinized while Queen Jolie is untouched. Or maybe I just answered my own question. |
She's a French national who moved to the U.S. in her 20s. She met and married an American in Colorado and now lives there. I don't think she has any connection to Bethesda. |
My oncologist said they're now suggesting you take tamoxifen for 10 years. |
Nobody is projecting their ED issues. If giuliana hadn't posted what are so obviously disordered eating habits, we may actually believe her. |
Probably because Jolie isn't posting all over social media. That said, just googling Angelina Jolie anorexia brought up a ton of speculative articles about her weight. |
Whatever. It wS so long ago when she posted that, and it was probably exaggerated. And like Pp said I don't think it looks THAT bad. I think everyone in front of a gamera eats like that but she is s tall and gangly ( most of these other stars are shrimps) so it looks more dramatic. |
It does seem unfair doesn't it? Giuliana has actually had cancer and is taking meds to prevent recurrence. Angelina has had surgery in order to prevent the disease from occurring. I feel for them both but they are NOT in the same situation. |
She didn't go through chemo. She had a double mastectomy. She opted not to undergo radiation and chemo. "After an October lumpectomy failed to get rid of all the cancer cells, [Giuliana and Bill] opted for the radical solution of a double mastectomy to try to eradicate the disease. (Their other option, radiation and possible chemotherapy, could have derailed their chance of conceiving.)" She is saying the tamoxifen is causing her weight loss, which is possible, but not probable. |
I disagree. Even standing next to super thin actresses and starlets on the red carpet, Giuliana looks emaciated. |
I have the Today show on this morning and they have Giuliana on now with Hoda and Kathy. They brought up her weight and she did not blame her thinness on the cancer medication just now. She just said it was hurtful that she posts on Instagram a video of her and her son having fun and 9 out of the 10 comments are about her weight and that even if someone has an eating disorder, posting "Eat a hamburger" isn't helpful or that when she's conducting an interview on the red carpet, everyone is focusing on her weight instead of on the content. We'll see if she blames the cancer meds when they get back from the break, but she did actually acknowledge some people commenting could be doing so out of concern. |
Okay, now she is blaming the tamoxifen. She said she is eating more, but losing more weight than ever before. She said she went to her oncologist and the doctor said it could be the tamoxifen, some people gain weight on it, some people lose. She said "truthfully" she eats more than she ever has, but is losing weight. Okay, G! |
Why is that so hard to believe? |
Because of her admitted, highly restrictive/obsessive/neurotic diet? Because everything about what she is saying compared to that admitted diet screams deflect, deflect, deflect! Weight loss doesn't make sense unless she's got a caloric deficit. She's saying she's eating more than ever, not that the medicine is causing appetite loss. |
