Anne Hathaway: ‘Being Skinny is Not Sustainable, Not Advisable, Not Enjoyable’

Anne Hathaway: Being Skinny is Not Sustainable, Not Advisable, Not Enjoyable | anne hathaway |

Anne Hathaway, whose weight fluctuated visibly in the past years, shares a few weight and beauty image-related thoughts with us:

My identity used to be shaped on my appearance so much. I don’t think I was shallow – I just think I was young. I focus on other things a lot more now. I’ve hit the point in my life where I understand that being skinny is not sustainable, and nor is it advisable, and nor is it enjoyable,’ she said.

‘From the age of 25 to 27 – and this is a little embarrassing to admit – I looked under my eyes every single day, because I thought, “It’s going, it’s going, it’s going! And then I realised the other day they’re not wrinkles; they’re smile lines. If you look at pictures of me from a young age, I’ve been smiling the same way since I was little. And I had that wonderful moment when you realise, “That’s who I am.” Botox would erase that.’

… says Anne.

Do you agree with her thoughts on skinniness?

Since the recent months have been all about her weight loss, Kelly Osbourne decided to she the world the actual results of her work and did the popular move: Shape Bikini Cover (and cried of happiness after the shoot, her words). Kelly also brings a few quotes by:

Kelly Osbourne on body image: "I was called fat and ugly in the press almost my entire life. I understand that being judged by others comes with the territory, but it broke my heart and ruined my self esteem. It sets you up to hate yourself in a huge way. I was so angry about the things people said about me. I truly believe it's the main reason I turned to Vicodin and ended up in rehab three times. I just hated myself."

On diet and exercise: Calling herself an "emotional eater," Osbourne's path to healthy living began when she appeared on Dancing with the Stars. Her partner Louis van Amstel filled her in on nutrition habits like eating a high-protein, low-carb diet. "He made me eat turkey burgers and salads…Then I started losing weight and realized, 'Oh, it's true what they say: Diet and exercise really work!' "

Continuing the exercise: "My girlfriends and I just started doing plyometrics," she added. "It's a killer—it hurts so much. But when you walk out of there, you're like, 'I can't believe I just did that and my body looks this good.'"

Losing 50 pounds over all: "I used to eat chips and cookies and drink soda all day long," she admitted. "I had to start making better choices. [Now] I indulge with pizza and cheese—I love Brie—and have cookies sometimes. But now, when I'm full? I stop eating! It may have taken me 26 years to figure it out, but I've finally learned how to do it right."

Let’s hear your thoughts!

Natalie Portman Brings the Quote of the Day | natalie portman |

Natalie on what she did after finishing filming for her new movie, where she plays a ballerina:

“The (day after the shoot ended) I was like, pasta, pasta, pasta! No working out. It was pretty immediate. I was ready to leave the ballet life. “I was like, ‘Please don’t let there be re-shoots for this because I don’t think I could get back into the costumes!’”

… says Natalie.
