Any Bachelorette fans out there?

So, aparantly, the current Bachelorette, Ali, is trying to lose weight.  Reports are saying that during the taping of the Bachelorette all she did was eat and drink and that watching herself on camera has "stressed" her out and she is on a diet to lose 15 pounds.

Here she is as a contestant on the Bachelor last season:

















Here she is at the beginning of this season:

 Here she is now:
I don't know, I don't see an extra 15 pounds anywhere, but I also know what it feels like to not have very much weight to lose and have no one understand why you want to lose weight at all.  As long as she is doing it in a healthy way, who cares?

Normally I can't stand "news" involving someone's weight, but this kinda helped me realize something for myself.  She thinks she needs to lose 15 pounds, but she still looks good to me.  I think it just speaks to the fact that we (as women) are much harder on ourselves than anyone else.  We pick out and dwell on every little flaw, even ones that no one else in this entire world would ever see if we weren't pointing it out!

  1. I see the 15 pounds, but I think she was unhealthy in the second picture - so I can see where she sees it. Oftentimes, those in the media are SOO skinny and then when they gain weight, it is drastic.

    I thought the same thing about Bridget Jones - she looks horrible now, thought she looked healthy in the movies (but she said she gained 20-25 pounds!!!).
