Being skinny is no longer a health issue, rather it is an issue of insecurity. Because of the extreme measures that are taken, many are inducing health issues on to themselves. <br /><br />I remember a previous blog you wrote where there was an interview with a model who said she was much happier because she was eating and she was healthy. I can't imagine how "skipping lunch" with friends instead of exercising for 3 hours, which at most times is done in solitude, will bring joy.Donna S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13246897565658169938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-85613704620001374822010-03-01T20:00:27.180+11:002010-03-01T20:00:27.180+11:00I totally agree with your opinion.

She is a beautiful woman who had an unbelievably gorgeous body - now she just looks ill (and gaunt). How could WHO put this on the cover as a body to aspire to?! Poor girl, I'm pretty sure that a 'how i recovered from my exercise hell' story will follow shortly... Or 'a gaunt and lonely Meares wasting away' story, likely by Grazia.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893065012649313063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-61001234396865498252010-02-27T21:27:44.614+11:002010-02-27T21:27:44.614+11:00I picked up Who in the supermarket today, read the...I picked up Who in the supermarket today, read the cover quotes and put it back.

I happen to think it was a great issue.<br /><br />To NatWebster: Jodi Gordon has had ONE public incident and has never been allowed to say anything to defend herself. What's the alternative message, shun her completely and have everyone think that once you put a foot wrong you should never be allowed to turn your life around? Far worse message if you ask me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502726043924891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-24023889944681170422010-02-27T13:03:41.656+11:002010-02-27T13:03:41.656+11:00I believe it was good that Jodhi Meares mentioned ...I believe it was good that Jodhi Meares mentioned how much exercise she does because it shows the reader that an insane amount of time goes into achieving that body. What i found alarming was Jodhi Gordan's commenting that she has fat days. Yes honest but should that really be printed. She is super slim and i believe that it is more likely to bring down the average Jane. <br />I admit that i do like to know what these celebs eat, exercise and what their guilty pleasures are, given that they are actually being honest which we will never know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-19200111368458415252010-02-27T11:01:37.957+11:002010-02-27T11:01:37.957+11:00Please tell me that they also have some more reali...Please tell me that they also have some more realistic shapes and sizes included in The 'Body' Issue because I refuse to buy it on the basis of the cover alone... <br /><br />Perhaps I am being too judgemental and it won't only feature Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Hawkins and the like. Do we (for example) get to see a bikini-clad Magda Szubanski, or anyone with a less-than-perfect body? Or... anyone who has to work 8-10hrs a day to pay the mortgage and can't fit in 3 hours of exercise during the week?!RockafellaSkankhttp://rockafellaskank.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-60805731024636427712010-02-26T19:03:16.600+11:002010-02-26T19:03:16.600+11:00Jodhi Meares is gorgeous and clearly works hard fo...Jodhi Meares is gorgeous and clearly works hard for the body, but I agree it's hard to suggest she should be a role model any more than a pin thin 18 year old with a metabolism off the charts. <br /><br />Personally, I'm more disappointed about the continued use of Jodi Gordon as something to aspire to.
