Slated in the papers for her fast weight regain, is Natalie really to blame?
Recently slated across magazines and countless internet sites, Natalie Cassidy has been seen back up to her original weight. Is she really to blame or is this ridiculous obsession to be stick thin the reason for her plummet and quick regain. Realistically no-one could have believed someone who is clearly naturally curvy to stay a size 8. She is being quoted as being depressed and in tears about her weight gain and im sure all of the bad press coverage isn’t helping her. It’s a waste of time to spend every second calorie counting and watching what you eat she should enjoy her life and enjoy her success but instead she is being made to feel fat and ugly. Headline have said how she has ballooned back to her weight and, ‘she’s the fat girl off TV’, but really she is just being compared to her previous.
Yo Yo dieting its self is very harmful for your body, your body is going from one extreme of eating large amounts to eating nothing back to eating more again so the strain on your body is extremely unhealthy. Natalie sadly will have regained everything in fat as her weight decreased so rapidly leaving a small muscular frame and her weight has been regained so quickly it will be stored as fat.
I think the pressure of the good press she had because of the weight loss inspired her but once she realised it was near impossible to keep the weight off she relaxed and settled down, it seems she is naturally a curvy girl so she should learn to love her curves like we all do!

War of the sizes - Fat V Skinny
The Daily Mail has recently asked two women to pose for pictures, one is a size 0 (UK size 4) and the other is an 18, in the hope of raising awareness of the increasing weight issues in the UK today. So - Is media coverage of size zero celebrities directly responsible for the increase in eating disorders in young girls? Or is the steady rise in obesity a far more worrying problem?
Both women appear to eat a healthy balanced diet but nutritionist Fiona Hunter believes that the size zero model - Sasha Larner is eating less than half of the recommended daily calorie intake, and the majority of these are made up of biscuits & alcohol. Fiona had higher praise for the well balanced diet of Mikyla Dodd of Hollyoaks & Celebrity fit club fame.Both women claim to be happy with their weight, although Mikyla has recently slimmed down from 19st 2lb to 15st 7lb, losing 44lb when taking part in Celebrity fit club.
She says: "I am perfectly content with my lot. If I never lose another pound, I will be happy. I am a desirable woman. I've got great boobs and my last boyfriend said I had a nice bum. I've certainly got no inhibitions when it comes to the bedroom. I know for a fact that you don't have to be slim to be sexy. I feel much better now that I've lost some weight - but I'd never want to be a size zero. Pictures of people like Nicole Richie in her swimwear are so worrying. They are all skin and bone, and look as though they might snap."

Anna Nicole Smith - Fridge proves she had issues
Anna Nicole Smith died on Thursday, aged 39, after being discovered unconscious in her hotel room. The cause of death is not yet confirmed, however everyone has an opinion and the general consensus is drug related.
TMZ.com has discovered a photo of the inside of Anna Nicole's fridge in the hotel that she was staying in. They say they have 100% verified that the photo is authentic. The photo was taken after she died and the contents and possible consequences are shocking. For those of you who aren't aware, Anna Nicole is a spokesperson for controversial diet pill TRIMSPA after reportedly losing 69lbs using the product. So it is no surprise that next to the fridge are several bottles of TRIMSPA. However - finding a number of cans of slimfast inside was more telling.
Alongside the slimfast was miracle 2000 (marketed as a nutritional supplement for 'today's active lifestyle', French's Worcestershire Sauce, yogurt and spray butter. This mix of diet supplements and 'almost foods' paint a very bleak picture of the daily fight that Anna Nicole underwent to maintain a figure she was happy with.
One of the most shocking finds was methadone as autopsy reports showed that her son had died from a combination of the methadone drug in his system only 5 months earlier. Another surprising find in the fridge was several vials of medication that appeared usable by injection only.
Ironically, Anna Nicole's role model was Marilyn Monroe, the original voluptuous icon who died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962.
It goes to show that being happy with who and what you are is the most important thing. Entering into the unknown world of quick fixes to maintain what you perceive as the ideal outward persona is not only psychologically damaging - it may well be that it can kill you! I for one would like to lose weight but intend to do it the safe and tested way and in the mean time I can get the sultry voluptuous look without the health issues

Average woman's weight yo-yo's by 26 stone in their lifetime
New research by Tanita has shown that the average British woman will put on a staggering 15.5 stone in their lifetime and lost 10 stone. This means an average fluctuation of 26 stone caused by yo yo dieting - the equivelant of 10 shopping bags full of fat!!!
The research showed that 78% of women worry about their weight and 20% say it is constantly on their mind with half of these weighing themselves daily!Clearly we are a nation obsessed with our image - yet we progressively put on weight! If as a nation we were less weight obsessed maybe we would all be a little healthier and probably a whole lot happier. A healthy diet and regular exercise will make you feel great and will allow your body to find it's own optimum weight, we are all built differently and some of us aren't designed to fit the new size '0'.
So what are the reasons behind these extraordinary figures...
Most state that the reason they diet is clothes not fitting right, other reasons are a forthcoming holiday or a spiteful comment. We all like to look our best so it is understandable that women want a wardrobe they can look great in, but is it necessary to starve for this pleasure? Not any more. You can look great if you shop to your shape. Try Curvety.com for some great wardrobe ideas that wont involve a week of cabbage soup!
