Question:
Do the girls on Americas Next Top Model make you feel overweight?
I'm a sophmore in college, i'm 5 foot and 3.5 inches. I weight 110lb and alot of people say i'm very skinny. When I watch Americas Next Top model thought those girls just seem so extreamly thin and they are apper to be eating? Isn't the camera supposed to add 10 pounds?
Is it just me or do those girls just seem insanly thin and apper to pull it off... why do none of them apper unhealthy?
does anyone agree with me?
Answers: Actually, I'm about the same height and weight as you, so I know what you're thinking. I have tall friends who have the same BMI as me, but they look so much skinnier - it's an optical illusion. Also, they hide weight better so they can bloat and you can't see it. I really wish I was taller. :( When I see those girls I just feel fortunate that God blessed me with a brain to not watch such silly shows. no, it does not. i feel healthy because in the real world girls aren't anorexic. No, they make me thankful I am normal. They act like a bunch of kids and sound shallow. It's like you can see addictions and eating disorders and years of therapy in their future. No, it doesn't. I have a cousin who is a former runway model and now works internationally for countless magazines. She's 6'2, and extremely thin, and shes naturally like that, her mom is the same way. Also, I have friends who resemble some of the hopefuls on the show. So, to answer your question, no. not really, some people are just naturally slender. I do wish I had half of the self motivation they have to stay in shape and take care of myself. When I watch the beginning of ANTM, I'm always surprised in a good way actually with the number of normal-weight women.
Granted, those don't make it to the final two or even four, but I'm always happy to see that they do get a chance, and they don't get sent home (anymore) because they're just too big - but rather because of their photographs or talking skills. I love how when they have women on there that are a size 10.. they are called "plus size" models.. lol.. I guess in the modeling world that is plus sized.. In the real world it's 14 and up... I think the girls on this season is a mixture of sizes, Tyra should keep super skinny girls(Furonda) off, because that's not a good representation for younger women. I think her name was Furonda she was on the 6th season & I think Jaslene was 2 skinny too. Those girls are way too thin. What bugs me about this season is that Sara is the one who is going to the "plus size" girl on the show. She wears a size 8 and that's plus size?!?!? Are you kidding me?!? I don't think many of those girls eat properly. I think most of them smoke to curb their appetite. But, since this year is smoke-free, maybe some of them will blimp up! That would be great!!
