heuieuu 564 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm not saying that she needs to become bone skinny, but like a more healthy size like that of Demi Lovato People keep saying that she's a great role model in terms of body image for girls to look up to, but she's not exactly a figure of good health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chungie 1,215 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 How is being a good role model related to weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beginning 1,394 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well, is she obese? As in unhealthy obese, like in medical terms. I mean, some girls are curvy, some girls are thin. Men too. But my concern starts with if they are obese or underweight or overweight, then that's the problem. We only see her from the outside and we don't know if she is really unhealthy when it's just judging from her physical figure. Idk I'm not a health expert but this is from my pov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____shawnee 4,118 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 She may be indeed healthy. I think when people lose a ton of weight it actually encourages eating disorders and body image issues and such. If she's happy with her weight and is healthy, that's all that matters.

removed929393303 15,230 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Her weight is a non issue. She's a good role model for girls because she seems comfortable with being the size she is. You're really in no position to say that she should be a healthier weight because you know nothing about her health situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinshi 143 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 beeing a role model is not only about appearance. it's also about your actions. it's up to the people who relate to that person what they consider more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sane 16,342 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 No, I think she'd be a better role model if she wasn't all high and mighty about her weight. She acts like she's a better person just because she's fat. Fat is unhealthy. dont know why people and the media are trying to promote it as if its beautiful. Thats the problem with fat america. Beauty is subjective, health isn't. They can say it's beautiful all they want, but they can't say it's healthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Õ�weet 2,847 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well her voice and passion would stay the same right? That's enough for me for her to be a role model. If is better than have a role model that suffers from anorexia or bullimia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akisame 3,880 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Just because she's comfortable with her weight it doesn't mean being obese (which she is) is fine. If she was truly a role-model, she'd encourage healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, but she doesn't. On top of being obese she also smokes - her lifestyle could lead her to develop diabetes, lung disease, gout, hypertension etc. Obesity is not healthy and is certainly not something that is "OK". Also, I totally disagree that being a healthy weight could lead to eating disorders - do you not know that obesity IS an eating disorder? You aren't controlling the amount of food you intake and you're eating excessively, a person like that is not a good role model. Adele acts all high and mighty just because she's proud to be "curvy", I'm sorry, but there's a fine line between being curvy and being overweight and on the road to having diabetes. She would be a role model if she encouraged people to be healthy - not skinny because that isn't healthy, either - but a normal weight where you are at less risk of developing health problems. In a world were many people die from weight related illnesses, Adele cannot be seen as role model if she's obese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuroswan 2,018 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I do not think being "fat" that making her a role model rather that her music and voice and the fact that being who she is made her successful in an industry where you have to be in a certain way, proformat. But people should stop putting stars on pedestal and following them to determine what they have to do star are star they are not role model for me anyway.

PD101 Rep: BoA 1,183 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 No. I don't think she's a good role model regardless for her body size, more so a role model just for the simple fact that she's not incredibly unhealthy looking but honestly I feel like not -that- many singers are that skinny anymore. I don't really find her to be a role model at all tbh. I do however want to say that I think she has an extremely pretty, almost "classic" face. I feel like if she did choose to lose weight she'd have an almost Marilyn Monroe appeal to her. I just hope she wouldn't lose her any of her singing ability like Jennifer Hudson seems to.

Sotsugyou 111 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Well her voice and passion would stay the same right? That's enough for me for her to be a role model. Her voice may change depending on how she loses the weight and how much she loses. Look up Maria Callas and see how weight loss affected her voice. Overall, I don't think weight has to do much with being a role model. You can be a healthy, limber, acrobat but if you constatntly bully people, curse, go crazy in public, and a whole bunch of other bad things, isn't all that "healthy, skinny thing" for nothing?

Edna Mode 8 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 She already lost a tremendous amount of weight in comparison to how she looked in 2008, being a role model has nothing to do with weight, especially when you're talking about a larger person. The media brainwashes kids way too much with the idea of being skinny and there are more skinny successful artist than overweight, so I doubt young people will see her and immediately think "OH LETS GET FAT". No that's not the case,she's fine the way she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
