Sorry about the rant if it weren't what you guys meant, but it's hard for me to read it on another way when sometimes people actually did complain she was too fat.. And to make sure nobody will missunderstand me: this is not about her, it's about the body type we pressure women to have.

Men have this pressure too. Women are considered acceptable just by eating less and diet alone. Men must be particular about eats AND work extremely hard to achieve the desired body type! It is a brutal lifestyle and I'm not saying I don't enjoy it to an extent, but I eat the exact same thing every day and build my entire life around this routine and I still am not where I would like to be considering all I have done to try and achieve what seems unachievable.
