If A Size One Is Fat... Where Does That Leave The Rest Of Us?

If A Size One Is Fat... Where Does That Leave The Rest Of Us?

"I’m not pregnant. I’m just fat. I gained 5lb over the summer so instead of a size zero, I’m a size one."

-- Eva Longoria addressing the pregnancy rumor

I know she's joking to deflect the attention... but I'm having a salad for lunch either way. Actually, that's a lie. I hate salad.

Size one is fat?????? Does she want every woman in America to hate her?

I never did like her- and a comment like that confirms why (even if she is joking- she knows it will be taken out of context)

If size 1 is "fat", then I must be close to blimp size...! LOL!

Nice positive comment. What a dumba**

Anonymous Anonymous said:

she's not saying that size 1 means you are fat, she's saying that she was size zero and gained reaching size 1, for her personally she's fat as she gained weight.
If I'm size 2 and gained to size 3, i say that i'm fat. I wouldn't imply however ever that women of either sizes 2 or 3 fat. She's just saying that in comparision to the weight she was before she gained she's fat.

I agree. Everything is relative. Someone who is 140 pounds would love to be 125 while someone 200 would kill to be 140 ! *disclaimer - all numbers are examples not to be taken for the gospel according to jan*

I don't really think she is calling a size one fat - although she could have stated this better. I imagine that when you are a size 0 - to me she has ALWAYS seemed like a tiny little person - gaining enough weight to make you go up a size will make YOU feel fat. Adding 5lbs. to a 100lb. frame is a lot different than adding 5lbs. to a 160lb. frame. Why take this comment personally?

I realize she was joking, but you know, she could have just said - "I've gained some weight (or a few lbs or whatever), and I went up a dress size." There was no need to bring the numbers into it! NOT such a great role model.

I don't like this beeyotch but I have to agree you people are getting all worked up for nothing. She's barely 5 feet tall so ofcourse she's going to feel fat at a size 1 and I doubt she gained only 5 lbs. it looks more like 10-12 lbs. 5 lbs wouldn't spread all over her face, midsection and thighs. She's gained a significant amount for that to show.

I think you ladies are a bit too sensitive and want to take this to another level. Im was a size four 2 months ago and now im a size 6 and i've been complaining to the world that im a fat cow. I dont think women who are a size 6 are fat at all. Its just that I personally have gained like 12 pounds in a short period of time and feel like a pig. Stop taking things out of context. If it were an actress you actually liked the comments would be so much different.

Well, I'm an Amazon compared to Eva, so . . . feh! I yam what I yam what I yam. ;> And yes, she is incredibly petite, and I was watching reruns of Desperate Housewives on Lifetime this morning, and she mostly definitely was tiny as well as petite.

i think she is lying & is probably definitely pregnant...she seems like the type who would want the attention of making a huge announcement.

passingthru2 passingthru2 said:

She is a very tiny, small-boned person...but she has gained a hell of a lot more than 5 pounds. That amount does not make your stomach stick out like that, nor does it show in your face. I think she is pregnant, and I think they're going to pull an Angie Harmon and deny, deny, deny, until they decide they want to make a big announcement.

She could have stated this differently as there are a lot of girls and women out there who could take this to heart and strive to be a zero that isn't considered "fat". And I agree, to her she probably seems "fat", just like most of us can have our off days and feel fat or think we're fat.

myalias myalias said:

It just goes to show you how hung up on looks everyone in Hollywood is. Why she even feels the need to tell everyone how much weight she gained and what size she is now is beyond me. I don't care what size she is or how much weight she gained - it has no value. Not to mention i don't believe her anyway.

She's so puffy, how is she a size 1? Oh no someone in Hollywood gets to a normal size and *gasp* she's fat (not saying a 1 is normal, she doesn't look like a 1 to me).

Skinny Minny Skinny Minny said:

Okay, I have no love for Eva Longoria Parker but...
Again, quit coddling overweight women! I'm speaking to all of America. There is NOTHING healthy about a size 12, and the average American woman is at least that size. Conversely, a size 1 could be healthy if you're 5 feet tall like Eva. And to all of you who don't like salads, get over it! Salad does not mean plain spinach with celery. The whole "I hate salad" is just an excuse to not get healthy. You can have a healthy and delicious salad made of baby romaine, grilled chicken breast, snow peas, carrots, a little bit of sliced avocado, a bit of salt, pepper and oregano with lemon. Easy, nutritious, and delicious.

If a size 1 is healthy when you're like Eva, why isn't a size 12 normal when you're like Gabrielle Reece? You sound ridiculous.

Well, that depends skinny minny. I don't want to argue, but there are plenty of healthy, tall size-12 women. You aren't taking into consideration body type or build. Health is more than a number in the back of your shirt or pants. I agree that a size 12 on someone Eva Longoria's height would be incredibly unhealthy. I'm not sure that this the thread to start that discussion since the basis for all the comments thus far are about calling a size 1 fat.

Sorry, but I had to chime in again. You do realize that living off of salads isn't the only way to be healthy, right? What a weird point to make: "The whole "I hate salad" is just an excuse to not get healthy. " Huh? As if that's the cause for people being overweight, "not liking salads". You can eat whatever you want, in moderation, as long as the energy you are expending is equal to or higher than the calories you're taking in. The way you talk about weight, reminds me of my grandmother.

I have only 1 friend who is size 0 and its NOT sexy and healthy at all!!! Shes skinny and we see all her bones!!!
Eva is stupid. period. OF course shes not tall, but size 2 or 3 on a 5 feet woman is not FAT!!!Beeing a 0 size for a woman is not an ideal!! Even for 5 feet tall.
Im 5'4 and size 6-7 and im not fat!!!

Anonymouss Anonymouss said:

It just depends on who is saying what. If it were someone you all liked, you'd be ok with what she said (which has been totally taken out of context, as usual). She doesn't have the responsiblity of making sure all overweight women or potentially overweight young girls manage their weight. If people want to idolize stars and take everything they say as gospel, that's not her problem ......... it just shows an incredible amount of insecurity that no celebrity can fix.

Tina Tina said:

Oh please. The press has been calling her FAT for days, and now that she finally uses the word herself its like "OMG! She's sending the wrong message! She's so inconsiderate and selfish! " Whatever. I don't understand how scrum paparazzi get away with so much shit, and yet when a celeb says ONE thing, its completley blown out of proportion.

Em Em said:

skinny minny...agreed. the "normal" and "real women" or amercia are most likely overwieght. we are a fat country. you can be "fat" and eat healthy and exercise and be "skinny" and be lazy and eat only fast food. however, i think being a healthy dress and pant size is better for someones health. i wouldnt say size 12 is unhealthy but close to that, yeah. it is better to be at a normal size and weight and eat healthy and exercise. and she was joking. get over it! and i know what i just said made no sense.

Being healthy has nothing to do with the number on your jeans. Different bodies require different weights. Although I must admit I made a face when I read Eva's statement, but that's the jealousy raging inside of me. I'm hoping young girls don't look at this and start questioning their bodies in a negative way.

She's a dumbass. She's gotta throw it in there that she wears a size 1 to prove how not fat she is. God bless our young female culture.

First of all, that last picture looks like she gained way more than 5 lbs over the summer. She is only 5 feet tall. She has gained a lot in her midsection, and in her boobs and face. Personally, I think she is pregnant and just isn't telling yet .

As for skinny minnie's comment. That is just hogwash. At 5'9" and size 12, I am not overweight at all. If I were 5' 4" and a size 12 then I would be overweight. If I were to be a size five, which will never happen unless I starved myself, I would look anorexic.

Some people who excercise a lot have more muscle and wear a bigger size pant. Look at Venus and Serena Willams.

Look at Kim K. she is not a very big person, but her butt is and she would never fit into a size 1 or 2.

Like I said, that last picture really makes her look pregnant (unless she is wearing one of her costumes. Isn't she supposed to be pregnant on the show?)

Anonymous Anonymous said:

OK, those of you who said you don't like Eva, are you sure that's not the jealousy talking? I've never found her to be particularly b****y or anything. She seems pretty sweet for the most part. And although I'm nowhere near a size 0 or 1, I don't really feel offended by what she said. I'm sure she meant it as a harmless joke that got taken way out of context. And besides, don't celebrities have a right to joke about their weight? (it's more of an issue for them than for the rest of us anyway).

Anonymous Anonymous said:

I think she was being terribly sarcastic; I mean, paps had to keep asking her if she was pregnant all the time. They make assumptions on stomachs that are perfectly normal. After they do this, they turn around and criticize the modeling industry for idealizing stick thin women. I think after a few of these asinine questions from paps and journalists, she just called herself fat and said she wasn't a size zero anymore, to throw it in their faces for asking her so much (because she's sooo fat now, she's gained so much weight and is now over a size zero, the only explanation could be that she has gotten pregnant).
