Skinny Gossip Vs. Kate Upton-Thoughts on the "Skinny Gurl" & Her so called "Pro Skinny" Healthy website

  So today I was minding my own business, and enjoying the day. I was then pointed to an article talking about the weight shaming that is happening to Kate Upton. Now I've heard people talk about how she is bigger than most models, which is totally understandable.Yet I was hearing about a blog post that was done about her with the title

Kate Upton Is Well-Marbled

I thought everyone was over reacting because of the article, but then after I saw the tags alone. (FATTIES, KATE UPTON, THUNDER THIGHS) I discovered over reacting to this site is an understatement. Well I read the full blog, and it honestly comes off as someone upset. Not like jealous upset, but something else totally different. More like a girl that doesn't want to accept that a girl who is able to eat whatever she wants, has made it onto the runway. Then she makes her way onto the covers of Sports Illustrated.

Would you like to know the inner dialog that I think went through Miss Skinny Gurl's head when she saw this cover?

"OMG! I can't believe this Kate Upton is allowed to do anything. She does commercials where she is happily eating a huge fucking burger, and doesn't mind that she isn't a size Double zero. How dare they let her grace the cover of sports illustrated. I haven't ate anything in 4 fucking days. I'm so hungry! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH How dare she be well fed and happy. She should be boooed from the world of modeling. Veto Veto. I'm so hungry! Omg. I'm gonna go get some gerber"

Anyways I know a little over dramatic, but this is what I hear in my over dramatic head. So I decided to take a little visit to the "Skinny Gossip" to really see what it is all about. I don't really like drawing conclusions until I see for myself if it is as bad as everyone says. Want to see what I found on my journeys? I know that you do. :D

Well First I was checking out the site, and took a look around. Well first I noticed that the color combination was a combo that I really enjoyed. Black and Pink. I know that might make her throw up her 3 peas she ate knowing that a non ultra skinny person like me, likes that color combination. lol. The next thing I noticed was the cartoony shadow person thing as I like to call them on the side. Well most of the time these women shadow people have curves of some sort, but oh no not this time. She made it a point to make sure the hip bone was sticking out. Just so that shadow person can show off their sexy shadow person skinniness. 

Now there has been a lot of (saving face) Edits (back peddling), and updates  made to the site to make sure it's shown that they aren't pro eating disorders of any kind. She wants it to be known that this community is for promoting and showing off a healthy ultra skinny lifestyle. Well I decided I needed to go through some older posts to make up my mind totally. I mean I read the Kate Upton post, it was a very mean spirited post. I think it was shocking for the sake of being shocking. I mean yes I thinks he said the things she did because she did actually feel that way about kate. I still feel she put it out the way she did to get people all up in arms.  I don't know if she wanted the attention that she got from the article, because from what I hear her site has been hacked. Also she is getting all kinds of death and rape threats which is pretty messed up. Yes she is a raving starving bitch for what she wrote, but we don't have to go there people. She does commend Kate for her bravery, which really cracks me up. (She calls you brave when you are alright for being curvy, and yet fat pig in the same entry) She then goes on to slam Kate for being in a burger ad, and says she is running for the buffet. She then goes into the real reason she is upset. Which is what I said above, it's because she feels that a girl who doesn't care about what she eats is becoming a super model. This burns her up, and she doesn't know what to do. She goes on to calling all her body parts huge, and says that she is squishy. She then says that she caters to those who are into porn. I'm taking it because if you are curvy, you must be a porn star. She also says that her modeling should cater to those who are into shopping at walmart. This girl is amazing. There's no way to make this article look good, no matter what way you try. The only remote saving grace that you could possible give it. (I'm grabbing for straws with this) This is her opinion, and we are in america. This is her right to free speech. With that being said, that doesn't mean we have to agree with it. *smiles* That also means we don't have to like your website, and we can be critical of it. With that being said, here are the rest of my finds on SkinnyGossip.com

Let's look at Miss Skinny Gurls bio for starts, Shall we. ^.^

I've seen a lot of people on Skinny gurl's side saying what makes her any different than other sites who go after celebrities. I don't think that is totally the issue, if she was a site who just happened to call Kate "Fat" this wouldn't have gotten the attention that it has gotten. It's because of the content on her site that seems like it promotes unhealthy lifestyles, and mostly eating disorders. I see she writes a lot about hard work and discipline in her bio. Well I think I've seen almost everything on eating disorders, and unhealthy lifestyles. One of the main things that is brought up about people with eating disorder is that they like the feel of control, and having the will power that others don't have. They take pride in it. They feel like they have a lot of Self Discipline....Hey...wait a min... I'm not saying, but i'm just saying. It sounds kind of suspect.  

5' 7"

122 - 149 lbs.

Another thing i'm wondering is how in the hell can you promote a healthy lifestyle, when you aren't at a healthy weight for your height. I can see if you were like at the ideal healthy weight, but you aren't. 

This is the ideal healthy weight set up for your height, and you are at least 22 pounds under. So basically your "This site is about being healthy and proud to be skinny" isn't valid. Since you aren't healthy. It's just like a person who is overweight going to the doctor, saying they don't see anything wrong with how much they weigh. They haven't had any medical issues. Just like they are overweight. She is underweight. meaning both parties aren't right.

Like I've said she has spent a lot of time saying that her site isn't for promoting unhealthy lifestyles.

She said that her site is basically a meeting place for like minded people to come together, and discuss. Their thin lifestyles, weight loss goals, and love of models. Well I found all that in the site, but i'm still having a hard time trying to find how this doesn't promote unhealthy lifestyles. I'm a member of a few lifestyle sites, and most of them are getting healthy, and in shape sites. Yet there is a huge difference between those sites, and what I see her promoting on her site. Those sites usually promote eating well, and natural. Making sure you are watching what you eat, but still getting enough calories so that you are burning fat, and not storing fat. Would you like to see an example of what skinny gurl has for a diet plan. I knew that you would. So like I said I like to go wayyyyy back. Especially when I'm trying to get a well rounded view of a site. Well back in 2010 she decided that she wanted to try the "Baby food Diet". The diet in which you consume baby food for all your meals. She was very excited about this diet from the looks of it. She even posted info on baby food coupons. She was 104 pounds at the time, and she wanted to be 100. Still 18 pounds underweight, but i'm sure that doesn't matter to her. Here is a couple of samples of her day on the baby food diet.

Her calorie intake is 268 for this day. She goes most of the day basically starving herself, and then late at night. She eats. I'm assuming when no one is around to watch her eat. Again I have watched a lot of Specials on eating disorders, and this screams eating disorder. Especially when you are already 104 pounds. I can't believe she counted 2 grapes. 

Oh no oh no oh no. She ate 335 calories, what ever will she do with herself. I also find it entertaining that she gets the same drink every night, and drinks the same amount. AT THE SAME TIME. It's like ground hogs day or something like that. Again she went all the day until 10pm without any food. Then in the privacy of her  room or wherever she eats. She ate an entire serving of baby food, then a little milk. Then a baby food snack. *Le Sigh*

  The thing that I still find the most interesting is the way she is about food is the same way an overweight person looks at losing weight. For the longest time I thought that it was all about eating as little as possible, and the weight will just drop off. Then I was enlightened so to speak, and found out it's about more than how many calories you eat. It's about how much you eat, and what time you eat. It's about your body not going into starvation mode, and storing the fat that you are eating. Your body deciding to hang on to those calories because it doesn't know when more food is coming in. Yes you may lose a little bit of weight by doing these type of diets, but it's will just come back. Which is why i'm sure she is always on these "diets".  I did read a comment where someone asked her "Why she always ate late at night, and so little calories". This person was also a pro-Skinny person, but they believed in consuming the right amount of calories that you burn a day. She gave no response to this comment, as expected. 

  Now Kate isn't the first celebrity that she has went after on her site. She has bashed Britney Spears saying she has chubbed up once again. She bashed Christina Aguilera, and compared her to Mrs. Piggy. She also bashed Paris Hilton, by saying that she always thought paris has been skinny, but she has gained some weight lately. She's right Paris has always been a very naturally thin type of gal, but paris hates working out. (She has admitted this numerous times) She also highly enjoys junk food. Let's not forget that she did a Carl's J.R. Commerical, and she got pulled over when leaving the drive thru at In and Out. Paris enjoys eating, and that isn't a bad thing. 

Again Skinny girl is upset that these people are totally ok with eating a burger, when she has to push herself through eating 2 grapes in her "healthy lifestyle" *That was sarcasm*

Skinny Gurl isn't only bashing people like Christina, Britney, Paris, and Miss Kate. (She also bashes Lindsay Lohan's playboy spread. Being totally coked up is ok, but having flesh of any kind is WRONG)

She also mindfully watches which models are gaining weight, and which have lost weight. Here we have an entry headline that says-

Barbara Palvin Has Gained Weight

In this entry she talks about the model Barbara Palvin, and then slams her for gaining weight. Saying she was never really impressed with her frame. Yet well she feels she has thunder thighs. Wanna see what she is talking about? I knew that you would. :D

                                                                      Barbara Before

Barbara After

She starts off by saying how she has never been that impressed with this model.  (notice how she got the "Fatties" and "Thunder Thighs" Tag.)

She then posts her before picture, and remembers to say not a really good thinspiration, but still better than now. 

Then she goes on to estimate the weight she has put on has to be between 10-15 pounds. 

Then put up a few other demoralizing comments about her "Weight Gain" also implies that "She must have been doing too much of this." She then posts a picture of the model with food in front of her mouth.

Again I'm not the smartest person in the world, but how is saying that she is doing too much of eating not suggesting that she shouldn't be eating. Then by saying that you are saying that she should have an eating disorder, anything that will give her full "Displine" and "Control" over her weight. Again not the smartest person in the world, but yaaaaaaa.               

She does have days of the week in which she posts her Thinspiration pictures. She had a series in which she showed models Drinking (Mostly coffee), and Smoking. So funny that not eating is looked at as healthier than smoking. I did read a comment where they asked why are they all smoking. Then the comment didn't even talk about healthy, and was more concerned about the wrinkles smoking can cause. *Le sigh* 

Then of course we have her motivational holiday tips, which sound more like a dill sgt. yelling at you. 

I have a feeling this was pointed towards people who ate 3 grapes, but she does have postive motivation. Because like she said, this isn't a pro ano site. This is a healthy pro skinny site. 

She's like mommy dearest. All nice to you in front of the reporters, and cameras. Yet the moment she gets you alone, she is beating you with a wire hanger. *Scary* I'm going to end this extremely long (I'm sorry) blog with this. 

"The Skinny Gossip" promotes a very unhealthy lifestyle, and that is what it thrives on. I saw nothing on the site as opposed to this positive motivation section that was remotely uplifting and positive. The site comes off like it is ran by a very bitter person. A person who is bitter, and wants to feel better about themselves. A person who has had issues with eating, and dieting for their whole entire life. You can say you aren't Pro Ano, but you are Pro Skinny. Yet when you are very much underweight, and you have posted examples of your diet. It's pretty easy to see that something is wrong in denmark. 

Again I'm not saying, but I'm just saying. 

P.S. Kate Upton is Mind blowing Beautiful. I know a lot of women (Including myself) that wish they had her so called "Fat". I also know a lot of men that would give their right thumb for 2 mins in the closet with her. Just Saying again. ^.^ ^.^          -Tres Erica                                                                                                        

Do you feel the website was way out of line? Do you think it's pro-Skinny, and doesn't endorse unhealthy living? Do you feel Kate Upton is a pretty female, and she deserves to be on the runway like everyone else? Do you feel she is giving the fashion industry a bad name? Let me know by leaving a comment down below and We'll discuss!
