The beautiful and curvaceous America Ferrera - who
plays Betty on the hit ABC show Ugly Betty, has
spoken out about the stick-thin Hollywood weight
trend. She claims to be happy with her current weight
and has no plans to whittle herself down to anorexic
proportions.
But does she care about her weight at all? Definitely.
According to an interview she gave to W Magazine,
America is like many other women: she gains a few,
she loses a few, she diets, and she works out.
America Ferrera, lead actress on the comedy drama
Ugly Betty, remains to be contented with herself.
Despite her noticeable weight loss, she asserts that
she will never be a slave of the eating disorder that
has become a Hollywood trend.
“There are times when I go to the gym and really try,
and there are times when I just don’t…I gain a pound.
I lose a pound. But I think I’ve developed a really
good sense of when I’m doing something for myself
as opposed to when I’m doing something because of
other people’s expectations of me. And honestly,
even if I wanted to be anorexic, I just don’t have what
it takes. After four hours of being anorexic, I’d be like,
‘It’s been four whole hours! Feed me!’ “
The comment she made about Anorexia can certainly
be perceived as a jab towards the weight-obsessed It-
girls in Hollywood. However, it is a bit ignorant to
suggest that Anorexia is something you can just
consciously develop.
In any case, she seems to be sending a generally
healthy message towards girls - that you don’t have
to diet and be super-thin in order to be beautiful and
successful.
