Celebrities and (Lack of) Fitness

You know your fitness regime needs tweaking when people constantly ask you when your baby is due… and you’re not pregnant.

Right, Kate Moss?

The fashionista, who became famous for being super skinny, is… well… not super skinny anymore. But, she’s not pregnant either. People just think she is because she gained some weight (gasp!) and stopped exercising.

For the first time ever the 35-year-old catwalk queen is wearing a bra because, as Moss puts it, she has recently “grown breasts.” The super model also reveals that the rest of her extra pounds “went to the right places.” Consequently, she says she won’t be resuming her exercise routine anytime soon. Moss’ reason: She just launched a new lingerie collection and she thinks her new breasts will go a long way to help promote it.

So when Moss gains weight, it goes straight to her breasts, and when the rest of us pack on the pounds it goes straight to our hips, thighs and butt? What gives?

For the record, according to fitness experts and other medical experts, it is virtually impossible to gain weight in a specific body part. While fat does accumulate in certain regions of the body, it’s not realistic to think that eating 50 chocolate bars a day is going to result in a bigger bust line and smaller waist.

Whether Moss chooses to admit it or not, doctors say, her lack of exercise and increased caloric intake has likely added bulk to her hips and waist as well as her breasts.

Translation: Don’t follow Kate Moss’ diet and fitness regime to gain bigger breasts.

Oh, and don’t follow Mischa Barton’s either.

The actress is making news again regarding her skinny stature.

Various news publications have questioned whether the 23-year-old is getting enough to eat and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

To quell critics Barton recently posted an online message to fans that reads:

“Just so you guys know I’m happier and healthier than ever. I still love my Pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on!”

She ends by offering advice to her female fans: “Just be happy and secure with yourself and don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.”

What do you think about Moss and Barton? I don’t consider them role models for proper diet and fitness. Do you?
