Don't dare SKINNY SHAME women like me and SJP - we can't help being effortlessly SLIM! By Linda Kelsey for the Daily Mail Published: 02:05, 23 May 2024 | Updated: 02:27, 23 May 2024 e-mail View comments Just as women are attracted to men of particular body types, Anya knows she won’t be to every man’s taste. A single mum, she recently had what she describes as a horrible experience with a chef she met on a dating app. ‘On our second date he took me to a restaurant and being a chef he took over the ordering.
When I tucked in he said he was relieved because he thought I was the type who wouldn’t eat anything and was probably anorexic. He was relieved, but I was furious.’ Being slim and coming of age in the late 1960s was a golden age for girls like me.
But, despite being plenty slim enough by normal standards, there was always further to go. So I tried the fad diets of the day, from the grapefruit diet via the Atkins and Scarsdale diets, and at one particularly naive point started to drink noxious teas as purgatives. I had started working on Cosmopolitan magazine and my behaviour was pretty much the norm.
It is unacceptable that people who are thin are now victims of a skinny shaming free for all Linda Kelsey suspects SJP, like many lean beans, is rethinking the joys of being super-thin Every month we ran a column called Dieter’s Notebook. No one questioned that models should be anything other than skinny, and that pretty much went on in the same way for several dec.
