In Reply To: Anyone who is fan of AMC remembers when Kelly Ripa joined the cast as a teenager. She was not fat, but certainly curvy and robust looking. As she aged, she did drop, what some people might consider "baby fat", but until recently she was toned with the look of a woman who stays fit, but is not overdoing it. Obviously, I don't know whether she has an eating disorder or not but she did not appear to be naturally skinny, in fact she's one of few women I know who got smaller after giving birth. That's rare for celebs and even rarer for "real moms". I don't buy the running around after my kids made me skinny line...I know too many women with toddlers who are running around after them and still carrying pregnancy weight.
Message: lose a lot of weight after they have children. My mom and my aunts say they were their thinnest after having babies. The reason? They spent all of their time chasing after their kids, working, etc. and didn't make time to eat. It is possible to be too busy to eat. When I was out in the field I would be so rushed to get all of my work done that even if I had time to pick up food, I only had a minute to take a bite of it. Lost about 10-15 pounds that way and people from my job were saying I was bulimic. Not true. There's nothing wrong with an eating disorder, there is something wrong with people who are too eager to judge. I agree that Kelly needs help. So someone needs to get her help and stop bashing her for her weight loss.
