I don’t think Shenae Grimes is too skinny. She’s thin, but I don’t believe that she’s TOO thin. If she lost weight then she would be in trouble, but at that weight at the very most she’s bordering on too thin. Jessica Stroup, however, is unquestionably way too thin. Maybe she has an eating disorder, or maybe there’s another reason that we don’t know about, but either way she NEEDS to gain weight.

Let me just say Cay, that at 16 you are not done seeing the changes your body will go through. I could eat like a horse at sixteen and now at 29 I have to be careful so I don’t get fat, and work out to maintain muscle tone. However, maybe you’re lucky and have really good genes.

I used to work in Toronto on the tv show, Degrassi the New Generation. All the actresses were obsessed with their weight and drove the wardrobe department crazy. Shenae Grimes, in person, looks far skinnier than on that cover!! She was a total drama queen that chain-smoked endlessly!

I hope these girls get help, and get better! All my luck and love to all who are living with E.D’s

Eating disorders become your life, it’s damn near impossible to let go of. It becomes something that is yours and yours alone, that you control, and no one else can take away from you.
It’s a constant fight against yourself. I’m still fighting.

um, beet, weren’t you just saying you wanted to be thin like c. diaz? isn’t she about that weight too? i’m six foot and passed a hundred pounds in elementary school and am certainly not going back. i eat and work out; it’s all about balance for me, but then again i’m not constantly bombarded with pictures of myself like they are.

Eating disorders are a real thing I get totally get that NOW though, I totally didn’t until I dated a woman who, I eventually found out, had one. That’s a depressing and a lost cause/ LONG story kinda thing so I will omit that bit.
HOWEVER! I do wonder why beautiful women whom were accepted into the “Industry” were later found to be unfit. Whom or what made them feel that way to the point that they would do that to their body and their life?! What man is attracted to a woman that is build like a pre-adolescent boy?! Sounds mighty twisted and disturbing to me.

I agree with everyone about the mags and how they seem to get away with anything they print. It doesn’t have to be the truth it just has to get people’s attention so they will buy, buy, buy! On the other hand I just don’t understand why people continue to spend their hard earned money on the ones they know don’t care about the truth? Spend that money on your family or yourself or, give it to someone who needs it! Oh well life goes on.

I honestly don’t think Shenae is that skinny. I think the picture is a really bad angle. Everyone has those “fat” or “discustingly skinny” pictures. It happens to everyone. In the show – it doesn’t really seem that much of a concern. If you also realize that she is kinda short, in that article it says 5 foot 3, then its not that big of a deal. Some girls are just BORN naturally thin and tiny. I’m sixteen, pretty much fully done growing, and i am 5 1/2 and weigh 90 pounds. Its natural for me to be this skinny, but i definetly can eat like the fattest person around. Just because someone is thin, doesn’t automatically mean they’re anorexic.

However, Jessica does seem scary skin in that picture, no doubt about that. But she might just be one of those really skinny girls, natural or not, and had a bad shot. I never noticed that she was THAT skinny in the show.

Jinx, you are so right. And with that “poochy belly” story, they’d link to a gallery of “stars who just can’t stop eating!”

I love how these magazines will be like “Hollywood actresses are TOO THIN!!!” one week, then “OMG, look at her poochy belly and cottage cheese thighs! Someone needs to go on a diet!” about someone else.

And also one mag will say “Jennifer Aniston’s heart broken again” and the one next to it on the rack will say “Jennifer Aniston confesses ‘I’ve found true love!!’”
