I see that and think "wow, thats discipline."

Why should the pleasure of eating require such discipline?!

I guess she does what she has to do. If my image / career depended on what I ate everyday I would probably be eating her diet as well.

The girls from Friends said they ate a salad for lunch with each other for 10 years!

Jen still eats a salad EVERY day.

This is all understandable given the public demand for skinny celebs.

Yea, this is what most people don't get, I think.

These public figures spend a ton of time and energy, $$ on looking good, and some of it seems joyless to me.

I love great food, and try to eat generally healthy, but DH and I are foodies, and if I ate this way, we'd both be miserable.

Fish for breakfast? No breakfast?

What's wrong with fish for breakfast? Lots of cultures eat different things for breakfast, including fish. What do you eat for breakfast?

Dry toast is your comfort food?! Lol!
Oh well, she’s skinny and rich and I’m a fat paper-pusher, so there’s that.

This doesn’t seem unhealthy. We should eat several cups of vegetables a day. Now if they’re eating it without any dressing, that’s odd.

She is a weird person. I really wonder how she is a parent. Like how do you parent kids to experience fun things if you yourself only eat fish and vegetables and the occasional bite of dry toast?

I read once years ago - soon after the spice girls broke up, or maybe while they were still together - that she doesn't like her face when she smiles, so that's why she's never seen smiling (it must have been a story about her "presence" as Posh spice - the stark looks she always gave). Anyway, for what would be decades now every time I see anything about her I immediately look at her face to see if she is smiling. I mean I'm not obsessive about it, so I can't say this with 100% certainty, but it really seems like this person does not smile.

I thought I read it started because she didn’t like her teeth or smile but then it was because she wanted to minimize wrinkles. I think of that often. As in, I’m happy to have wrinkles from smiles but try to reduce the negative faces I make because who needs those lines??

Food wise, I imagine it’s just easier to maintain control when there are no options. Not saying it’s healthy but I can see how it’s easier than making those decisions each day, being tempted because you don’t have a set meal plan etc.

If your husband loves to cook and you have access to a personal chef, you don’t need to think about meal planning.

The joyless.

I worked with a guy like this. His lunches were depressing. When asked he said it was just fuel.

I’d love to know what’s different in those people’s brains.

She probably has a French breakfast (yes I know she’s not French)

Fair point.

Victoria Beckham and Anderson Cooper both seem fit, proper weight, energetic and happy, so......

To his credit, it says he eats the same thing for months or maybe a year....she's doing it for 25 years.

Anderson cooper has also openly admitted that for him it is a control thing and he recognizes he suffers from disordered eating.

She’s in on the joke. She married an Eastender.
