Pin-thin Tori Spelling needs to talk to a professional about her body issues.
Tori from the back...
and from the front.
Tori Spelling is 5 feet, 5.5 inches tall. There is no way she weights over 100 lbs. now. No. Way.
Shocking photos of Tori (with daughter Stella) surfaced when she attended the premiere of How to Train Your Dragon a couple of weeks ago.
I'm 5'7". When I weighed 95 lbs. two years ago, I couldn't even blow dry my hair. I had to have it cut short, in fact. I don't know how Tori can possibly carry her daughter around. I'm serious. If Tori doesn't get help soon, she's going fade away. That's a polite way of saying she's going to die of malnutrition.
Me - Two years ago. NOT cute.
I go back and forth on the stupid weight issue...it's easy for me to see other women and think they are scary-skinny, and worry about their health. I realize I'm healthier now, but worry that I'm enormous. I know, though, that I looked horrendous back when I was anorexic.
Being a woman is so effing HARD at times. I'd love to hear YOUR stories...does anyone else out there struggle with their body image?

Struggle with body image: secretly every single day. I don’t look it, but I feel it. I know it doesn’t seem the same for a guy, but there are just as many demeaning and demanding images for a guy to “live up to” to be a “man” as there are images for women. Look at most every guy who’s considered “attractive”. I can assure, I look nothing like that and, even if I worked out and took every steroid in the book, I doubt I could. Just not built like that. It’s very tough to block it out. Generally I go “I don’t care” and on many levels I don’t, but way deep down level I do.

She looks awful. I’d rather be larger and struggle than to deal with the demons of this. I’m sure food is constantly on her mind whether she wants to admit it or not. She is NOT naturally that thin, as she claims.

THIS is precisely what our stupid beauty standard hath wrought.
I’m so glad you include this in your site, Julia, & open up discussion around it.
Not a day goes by that I don’t give myself a royal mental sh*t-kicking around my size & shape. I rant & rave on about beauty standards, but I’m also screamingly insecure around my own body shape; I despise those stupid beauty standards, but I definitely feel pressured to conform to them. Who’s promoted in the media? Thin girls. Who do we see “getting the guy”? Thin girls. Who’s promoted as the ideal by the advertising & fashion industries? “Yep. You guessed it. Hips? Boo. Cellulite? BOO. Over 30? Next.
Honestly, I’d like to force-feed Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, et al like a foie gras goose for the crap they’re responsible for celebrating. If they -& us, in the media -don’t encourage & promote a change in thinking, who will? Being 95 lbs, hipless, in stilettoes, w stick arms & collagened lips, (oh, & forever 19) is the gold standard none of us will ever reach (nor should we) -& yet we still, weirdly, try with all our might & chequebooks. Advertisers, cosmetic companies, fashion, and yep, Hollywood, all know it.
Thank you again for raising this issue. I wish more celebrity blogs would take a stand like you do. Keep up the great work.

That picture of Tori is frightening. The pressure on women is too much and it really needs to stop. When can we all just relax and be accepted for being healthy and ‘normal’.
WHO decided HOW we should look in the first place?
And Julia I agree with Pat. I’m so happy you are healthy. xo

Im the only female in the family (so far) that hasn’t had an eating disorder. Seeing all the women i know go through this is so hard. Age doesn’t matter.
