I have go stop a moment and recognize a young actress who has publicly broken the rules. This is something I am going to start doing whenever I see anyone breaking the unspoken rules of Hollywood.
Which rules? Well, in this case,Brittany has publicly admittedto an ED (anorexia) in her youth. She’s also admitted that it led to cutting, which we hardly ever hear anyone talk about. EDs and cutting often go hand-in-hand. While there are a handful of stars who do admit to having an ED, I think Brittany has taken it to the next level because she also admits to body dysmorphic disorder. Furthermore, she’s sworn off dieting and fired her trainer!
This is what Brittany told People magazine recently:
I’m done with the trainer. I canceled my trainer.
I refuse to do the whole diet, fitness, style thing anymore. I just kind of go and have fun. I know what I like, I know what makes me feel good, and that’s just what I do.
I go to the gym every day, I eat really well, I buy dresses by myself. I want to work and be with my friends. That’s all I really care about.
Now, while I question the wisdom of going to the gym “every day” if you’ve had a past problem with compulsively exercising, I think she sounds far more grounded and realistic than most celebs.
I mean Fergie (Black Eyed Peas Fergie, not Duchess Fergie) recently said this about dieting and fitness:
if they’re saying I’m pregnant, then that means I need to get back on that treadmill.
ARGH. No, Fergie. That means they are shallow idiots - and that very likely they took unflattering pics or found pics they manipulated to be unflattering. I expect better from her. She ought to be confident than to take that crap to heart. Just goes to show that the toughest falter, too.
But, let’s get back to my celeb honoree of the day. Go Brittany Snow!
It’s about being healthy, happy and loving yourself the way that you are. I’d say it sounds like Brittany Snow is well on her way to that, if not already there.
xoxo,
