Gaga replies to a tweet about her weight

[Koala 3]

Haven't we been through this before? During the Born This Way Ball, or the Blackout. A thread was made and GaGa read it and became sad, she posted it in the LittleMonsters chat.

This is her body, not yours, NO1CURR what you think her ideal weight should be. You can have your opinion but at the end of the day, she'll be curvier if she desires. Let the poor girl be.

This!!!

You guys talking about "health concerns" are acting like she's 40 pounds overweight.   She's not even overweight by medical standards, and within 10-15 pounds max of what you'd consider "thin".   Gaga is a small girl, 10 pounds shows.   She certainly is in absolutely no danger of any kind of weight related health issues.

 

Real, HEALTHY and fit women carry up to 25% body fat, it's how they are built.   Yes, athletic females can be lower but to expect every woman to show 6 packs abs is absurd and actually more unhealthy for the female system than carrying a bit of extra weight.   Quit judging women by male body standards, which aren't even legit in many cases, and especially among a certain group of gay males which hyper-emphasize ultra athletic male bodies as the standard of normality.

 

And for those  quoting "pop stars don't eat",  that was actually a really dumb thing for her to say at the time and a horrible example to set.   She had bought into the need though to conform to what her label and the industry said was necessary.  Now she doesn't feel the need to, and she's a better example to young women on accepting themselves and not being a slave to the system.

 

Some of you might want to reexamine how the industry has brainwashed your acceptance of body image.

I doubt they pay you to do anything physically demanding.

Gaga dances. She decided to do this. Its now unfortunately as much a part of her product as her voice. If her voice started going all britney then thats the same.

If you were a marathon runner and looked like queen latifah, hell yes id say you need to get in better shape.

Just because someone is overweight does not mean they cannot run, I say this because I've done Cross Country three years now and in those three years I have stayed 30 pounds overweight and I run faster than the skinniest guys on the team.

 

Sorry this isn't Gaga related but it bothered me

[Psychedelic 1,098]

Stop arguing over her wheight. 

 

2 FACTS!!!

 

1. It's her body, so her weight is no one's bussiness but hers! Besides she's not overweight or unhealthy, just some extra pounds!!!

 

2. That doesn't make any less true the fact that everybody would rather see her in great shape (like when the ARTPOP era started or back in The Fame days). And media are going to bash her for her weight as she is a 'Pop Star', and those extra pounds are not good for that standard. Sad news, THIS IS A CRUEL WORLD, and casual fans and GP will withdraw attention to her as a pop artist even more if she continues to gain weight.

 

Conclusion: People complaining about her weight, are afraid of a bigger decline because of this (it's not like they wanna be negative because threy're trolls or haters). People that defend Gaga on this, are fans who love Gaga no matter what, and fact 2 doesn't matter to them, as long as Gaga continues to make music from her heart for us.

 

Both groups are kinda right in their own way. People have different opinions, points of views, and ways to look at things.

The image of queen latifah running a marathon or the fear of queen latifah having a heart attack, damaging her joints, permanently damaging her ligaments and never being able to run again because she didnt prepare properly?

Some of you are confusing health with thin. Pick up a book.

Are we allowed to say that she looks better with less weight on and when she took more care of herself or not? 

[lucia4 0]

She is fit though. She's on a world tour where she dances and runs about the stage every night. How could she not be fit doing that? Your physical size is, in a lot of cases, not really related to your fitness level, especially when her weight gain between then and now is as trivial as this.

 

She's nearing 30 now so her metabolism is slowing, she's settled with a long-term boyfriend, and, crucially, she doesn't have an eating disorder. She is a perfectly healthy weight considering her circumstances.

 

Exactly. If anything it's the hot looking women that aren't the healthiest. The healthiest weight looks a little fat.

Sure, but some will disagree with you. Your first statement is an opinion, and others can and will have different opinions. Your second statement is an assumption on your part, based on very few (if any) actual facts, since you have no idea what Gaga is doing health wise every day. Expect others to point that out. :)

I'm just gonna leave this here:

 

 

And this: http://gagadaily.com/index.php/topic/34228-gaga-sad-after-monsters-comments-on-her-weight/

 

SERIOUSLY, Leave her alone. First Celebrities, then The General Public & Media, now her Fans?

[PopBitch 1,218]

Exactly, the mental aspect. Yes she can choose to exercise for hours a day, eat nothing but healty stuff and not drink and she will look toned and skinny like she has in the past.

BUT she just doesn't want too anymore. She obviously wants to enjoy life more and her old regime clearly wasn't making her happy. I can imagine it's extra tough if you are as busy as her, working hard all the time, you want to enjoy things too. Don't forget she's had weight issues since her teens. I think it's admirable, especially with the world watching and demanding her to fit the mold, she's trying to accept her body.

You can tell it's an ongoing procces because she's choosing very flattering pics when she talks about her curves, and blames her periods, but give the girl some time. In a while she'll be like, yeah I got some juicy rolls to cover my muscles, and they are mighty fine!

I believe Taylor has played a big part in this. He loves her curves. He helped her embrace her body. I think it's a beautiful thing and it makes me hopefull she'll one day concur her issues with alcohol and d--gs as well.

She started out Born This Way and ARTPOP promos for the albums thin. So she was disciplined and does seem to care both times heading into the eras. Yet by the tour she both times is heavier. Although, BTW she was much heavier than this time, but still she is heavier on tour than she was during ARTPOP promos. So that doesn't make sense what you're saying. She obviously gets into fighting shape for the promo appearance part, and then for some reason lets go by the time the tour starts and as time goes on gains weight during it, which really makes no sense to me, since usually the weight would stay off as she does aerobic shows.

I'm not dissing Gaga. I am simply stating fact to what you were saying that she doesn't care and wants to enjoy life. If that was the complete truth that she doesn't care anymore, she would have started out both eras heavier, not thin and then steadily gaining weight during the tour. You have made some great points and observations, though.

I do like my popstars in their best shape if they are wearing skimpy outfits and dancing. It's a visual thing. But I have no huge complaint if Gaga doesn't stay in that kind of shape, but she should wear costumes that flatter her fuller figure. A couple of her skimpy outfits haven't been so flattering as she's put back on weight and probably make her look heavier than she really is just because they just aren't flattering.

[mic 1,415]

She looks best skinny to me but if she can't achieve that again then I'm fine with it since she has health problems.

Isn't it funny that female artists tend to be most successful when skinny?

It does make sense what I said.

I'm saying that she can be thin if she wants to be, and we can all see she does for certain things like promo's or musicvideo's, but she doesn't seem to like putting such restrictions on herself anymore, therefor she is not skinny the rest of the time and she is content with that or at least getting to terms with accepting her rounder figure.

Funny? More like pretty shallow on our part for putting so much into how people look and not what they can do. ;)
