On the constant pursuit of thinness:

That guilt has got to go.. it's a way of control against women_ and it's created by women as well. A lot of men don't actually care that much if you're a size 14.

… says size 12 US Robyn, modelling here her own line of swimsuits.

Beth Ditto Lost Weight (Then & Now)

Beth Ditto Lost Weight (Then & Now) | then and now

Left: singer and plus-size icon Beth Ditto (32) back in 2011, at 239 pounds / 108 kg at 5’2” / 157 cm.

Right: the singer these days (pictured at the GLAAD Awards), after a weight loss of around 50 pounds.

From Now Magazine:

She was the poster girl for the bigger woman way before Adele came on the scene. But it seems even Beth Ditto’s succumbed to the pressure to be skinnier – just like every BTB (that’s bride-to-be).

Nutritionist and celebrity fitness expert Nicki Waterman estimates she’s lost a staggering 4st and dropped five dress sizes, going from a 28 to an 18.

In the past, Beth’s spoken about being insecure over her body.

‘I’m not pleased with my looks, especially my weight – I’m 5ft 2in, but I weigh 17st 2lb,’ she said. ‘I was able to defend myself by joking around. ‘But sometimes it’s been painful and hurt my feelings. ‘I didn’t let it show. I was always cheerful. That’s the way we fat people are – if we’re not grinning all the time, we’d probably be totally frustrated.’

Gemma Arterton 1 Girl, 2 Outfits | 1 girl 2 outfits

27 year-old English actress Gemma Arterton (who is currently promoting 2 new movies) was photographed on various occasions this week in London – here she is in 2 dresses that show off her slim and curvy figure.

A few years back, Gemma had something witty to say on body image:

It is ridiculous. I went to a designer the other day – who will remain nameless – and he said to me: I'm amazed that you're fitting into these sample sizes. I said, I'm a size eight to ten! I should be amazed that the largest you're making these is a size six.'
