No doubt that it’s difficult to be in the spotlight and scutinized for every move you make. She has every right to change her mind and yet, it sends such a strange message to our young people. Can you imagine the girls who felt so supported and gratified when JLH said, “let’s band together and say enough!” and how disappointed and, let’s just say it, “ugly, gross, too big, not good enough” they felt when she took off all that weight and said she feels better about herself now. It’s like a slap in the face that says, “well, actually, we all really do need to lose weight to be acceptable and happy.” We all want people to be healthy– we just don’t want to send the message that diet= healthy and happy.

Well, that’s why we do what we do– right, Vicki?

Unfortunately for our children, today’s Hollywood “Hotties” aren’t known for their resolve, self determination, or set in stone beliefs. So, she may have actually meant what she said when she told them to back off. But then her mind changed and she decided to diet.

Whatever the case may be, you’re so right–the whole Hollywood scene is a breeding ground for body image issues.
