A Friend Called Metabolism.



Okay, so its all over the media industary, every new Heat magazine you pick up there is another frenzy over it, and everyday there seems to be another new diet plan for the female population to attend to. For what? 'The Perfect Figure' Just three words when put together has practically every girl attached to the nearest set of scales closeby. Wether its the group of lads in the shoppping centre checkin' out which girl walking past has the best 'back off' or women in the hairdressers complaing that 'Weight Watchers' does not go to plan, everybody seems to be analytical when it comes to these three words. What strikes me the most is opening up every celebrity endorsed magazine only to find how so many celebrities are exposed and critised for their figure. I say this hands down there are those celebs in this era who are for some moronic reason passing every meal over for an Evian, however there are those who are naturally fat free and get critised for it. From various convosations I have apprehended, people are strongly stereotypical that all models live life on an empty stomach and have never touched a carbohydrate in their life. Looking outside of this bubble world people have, there are models and real people who are lucky to be friends with their metabolisiom, an example being the beautiful Alexa Chung. For those who are not aware of Alexa,  she is a model also famous for her presenting on T4 then moved to crack America. She is the face of vintage fashion and brings an eyeopener when it comes to her new fashion crazes. Since having a busy work schedue and already being a small frame, her weight shredded with this being a topic in many magazines on the shelf. The poor girl needs to be given a break! No wonder the model is losing weight with the stress of her career being on uphold in the Big Apple and with people constantly commenting on her figure. Instead of this critism, magazines should be underlooking this and be writing more about how she is a fasionisa in the industary with a  fight for her ambition in america. GO CHUNG!

Like Alexa, I also am friends with my metabolism, meaning I tend to indulge in whatever is in the fridge without many pounds on; the female side in my family are too the same. For most people this would be a god send, however the critisem us girls get is inevitable.

Seriously, its a no win situation. What I find most obnoxious if when a slim girl like myself leaves the slightest leftover of a meal its like all hell has broke loose. 'Gosh no wonder your so skinny, you need to finish that piece of cake you left over!' really though? so its apparently fine to remark on the small, but its almost illegal to comment on someone who is slightly larger in life? You wouldn't ever see someone comment on that one finishing all the cake would you now?

So there you have it.. you can be attempting to go down to a size 8 or living the life of size 8 clothing and be critised either way. Its just the way the cookie crumbles.
