In the end, is it really so bad to say what I said? A self proclaimed health and fitness expert is showing off how skinny she managed to stay while pregnant, and I commented that it isn't necessarily healthy so it isn't something that people should be aspiring to while pregnant.


If you're going to accuse someone of putting their child at risk, yes, unless you have some information to back it up, it's bad. It's body shaming, but trendy because it's slamming skinny women instead of fat women. 'You're unhealthy in my eyes, so you should not be seen.'

Struggling...that is why she is still obsessed with her size, posted the selfie and goes around calling normal weighted people fat and jealous.





Oh, she said she 'is struggling' now, not 'has struggled'?

That's right. People with eating disorders never admit to have disorders do they? Why would she hide her mental health problems?

Who was it that swore up and down she doesn't have one?

Well, there is one other person that she does have to think about, and that is her baby.

I don't think that I have ever seen someone gain so little weight during pregnancy, so it does make you wonder if she is was doing things not necessarily in the best interests of her child in order to look hot.

By posting this online, it seems like she is also encouraging other women to make choices that are not necessarily in the best interests of their baby.

Of course you being an expert in everything you would know so much better than both her and her doctor.

No, they shouldn't. Anorexic people need help. Anorexia is an illness. What they don't need is morons like you encouraging anorexia by telling women who have anorexia to carry on starving themselves because "they can do what they like with their bodies".

We'll never combat anorexia if people like you had their way. I just feel sorry for any woman in your family contracting anorexia. You'll obviously stand by and let your own daughter starve herself to death just so she can be a five stone stick insect.




Yes, I do believe help should be forced on people, and so do all right-minded people. You're obviously not a right-minded person and completely lack any morals.

So you would force drunks to go to AA? What about drug addicts, should they be forced to go to rehab?

How about forcing homosexuals to go to church to be cured?

saying you can't tell from that pic isn't the same as swearing up and down she doesn't have one. But, hey, you're her doc right? lol.

It really isn't necessarily a skinny/fat thing. People are sensitive about every health claim around pregnancy.

Smoking, drinking, and drugs are the obvious ones, and people will condemn a mother as worse than Hitler if they ever see them doing that. But things like coffee, caffeine, certain cheeses, meats, and fish, etc etc etc are all enough to get complete strangers to give pregnant women lectures on the street.

So for me, it falls more into that category. The idea that focusing so much on staying super skinny while pregnant isn't necessarily healthy for the baby.

We obviously can't prove anything about her specific case based on a photo, but we can make general statements about what she appears to be promoting. If you are going to broadcast a message to a quarter of a million people, you can't be surprised if someone critiques that message.

And you're a fascist, like most "right-minded people." You believe in neither freedom nor responsibility.

Ever heard me call my wife 'tits on a stick"? Do you know why?



Nope.

She has never pushed anything about staying super skinny, has she? She has simply BEEN skinny. See, there's a difference for me there. Accusing someone of pushing a viewpoint simply by being, is unfair.

That's an interesting statistic petros, though not news. I wonder how it applies to skinny women, and being called skinny bitches, told they shouldn't be mothers, etc

She isn't simply "being", she has cultivated a following of hundreds of thousands of people as a health and wellness expert, explicitly telling people how to live their lives better and using images of herself as "proof" that her ideas work. She is making very deliberate choices about how she portrays herself to these followers.

Taking photos and posting them for over a quarter of a million people who follow you isn't simply "being".

Honestly though, I really don't care all that much about this. I am just explaining the reaction I had when I saw the photos here.

just to clarify, her blog is not just about health and wellness, and she blogs about fitness, doesn't claim herself to be an expert in any way shape or form. Her training is in journalism. And with the top rated blog in her country, all about being a footballer's wife, she's showing great success at her area of expertise.
