Lily Allen Feels Pressure To Be Thin. Hell, Who Doesn’t?
I am pretty surprised that someone as outspoken and abrasive as Lily Allen is would be bothered by idle chatter about her weight or allow herself to get sucked into the whole body image machine manufactured by the entertainment industry. Not that I suggest she take her health for granted and get all fat and out of shape, but clearly, you are what you are. Just be the best you can be at what you are.
Lily is a pear-shaped little lass. She’s by no means fat or ugly. She’s quite cute and spunky. Would she look better thinner? Well, maybe. Most of us would. But being skinny isn’t as easy for some people as it is for others and for Lily to post the following message on her website shows that she really is cracking under the pressure of fame and is far more vunerable than she would like us to believe.
From Lily’s MySpace page:
“fat, ugly and shitter than winehouse
that is all i am, im on my own in america again. I used to pride myself on being strong minded and not being some stupid girl obsessed with the way I look. I felt like it didnt matter if I was a bit chubby cause, im not a model, I’m a singer. Im afraid I am not strong and have fallen victim to the evil machine. I write to you in a sea of tears from my hotel bed in Seattle, I have spent the past hour researching gastric bypass surgery, and laser lipo suction.”
First and foremost, I would rather compare myself to someone immensely more attractive and appealing than Amy Winehouse. Like the Loch Ness Monster for instance. Yes, that would be a better choice. Lily, as far as we know has all her teeth, and isn’t a raging meth-head who dabbles in alcoholism on the side.
Second of all, suck it up. We all feel worthless and sh*tty when we are in our early 20’s. It goes with the territory. Unless of course, you are Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan, and then you just cover up those feelings of post-adolescent insecurity with illegal drugs, shopping binges and sex with strangers.
Really Lily, don’t start feeling sorry for yourself. You’re better than that.
Quit smoking, go for long walks, drink water for every other pint and focus on recording some more music. You’ll be fine. Seriously.The people you are comparing yourself to are really not in the same league as you.
