Mischa Barton, obviously tired of hearing and reading remarks about what people think about her weight, spoke out on the issue on her official website today.
Here’s Mischa’s words straight from mischabarton.com:
“So lately there’s been a lot of crazy press about my weight and just so you guys know I’m happier and healthier than ever so there is no need to worry about me. Things are really well in Mischa world and I’ve just been watching what I eat.
I still love my pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on!”
As a person who reads up on Mischa Barton and reads the good, the bad and the ugly of what people think of her on a daily basis (and responds to many of the mean comments on websites and message boards), I am really impressed with this last part below – as she speaks directly to young girls:
“I appreciate the concern, I just wish the press wouldn’t harbor on it as I think it’s very unhealthy for young girls to read about and pay attention to. To my female fans: Just be happy and secure with yourself and don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.”
The title of her blog post is “Too Fat, Too Thin: Here’s what I think….”
While the media and websites have been harping lately on her weight loss, it wasn’t too long ago that everyone couldn’t quit talking about cellulite on the back of her legs (even though her figure was still rockin’). I’ve even seen pictures where the paparazzi purposely takes photos of the back of her legs or tries to take the worst photos possible.
Honestly, what right is it of the rest of the world to dictate how much someone weighs and then complain when they think they’ve went too far the other way? Why not talk to the parents of girls who have nearly died from bulimia or some other eating disorder because they think they aren’t skinny enough for society? In other words, we are in the middle of an economic crisis. We have lots of world problems.
Do we really have nothing better to do with our time than to decide on whether or not a celebrity is too skinny or too fat?
