Tyra Speaks Out About Being Fat

Tyra Banks
In this weeks People magazine, Tyra speaks out on her 30 pound weight gain.
Says Tyra, "I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, 'Damn!' "
Of course, Tyra still wears a size 32 waist jeans (oh the horror!), but does admit she has back fat and cellulite. But her new body isn't hurting her career. The most recent season of America's Next Top Model delivered the shows highest ratings and according to Tyra, the producers prefer her to weigh around 155 lbs for the show as it makes her more relatable to viewers.
Tyra's only lament about her new body is her DD breasts which make it hard to find clothing that fits (I hear ya on that one Tyra).
Now if only an increase in her weight was accompanied with an increase in her IQ (currently her IQ is on par with a tub of yogurt).

Where've you been girl??
Ahh Tyra...Ty rant and rave on ANTM (guilty guilty pleasure)...she's certainly a wee bit crazy. Have you ever watched her talk show? Now that's totally whacked! I watched one and it was the show where she banned men from the audience because she was going to put paid to the rumours that her breasts weren' t real so she flashed and jiggled them...we're talking bazookas!
Still, good on her for using her modeling exposure to do other things and as much as I loved Naomi sCampbells' body, that girl...she's scary....Naomiaow is not branching out is she? Apparently Tyra had her on the show so that they could talk about the fashbiz...they were major rivals...I remember when they were some sort of 'controversy' about a thrown shoe....guess who threw it?...and what kind of stiletto was it? A heel or a hilt?
It must be very liberating for an ex model to just 'let go'.
I feel very sorry for women like Elle Macpherson, as gorgeous as she is, she still feels she has to stick to what she looked like 20 years and 2 children ago. Yes, these women are freaks of nature and they're gorgeous but the pressure they place upon themselves...sheesh...why would you?
Like Carre Otis...she just couldn't be bothered anymore so she stopped starving herself and is now a successful plus size model. Now this is a bit strange because she's a size 14 but in an industry that calls Giselle Bundchen voluptuous...what can you expect?
My hair is more voluptuous than Giselle!
Um...Kylie....what is Tyra doing in that shot?
....the fact that she can stand like that in a swimsuit and not have globules just bursting all over the place makes me think she is toned.
And KW...you're a DD?? But you're petite aren't you??
Hope you're well hon.

Lovely to hear from you as always. I have seen Tyra's talk show and that woman is seriously loopy. She's a nutcase to put it bluntly. I'd hazard a guess that she's probably doing some yoga pose in this pic, but knowing Tyra she could be performing the mating dance of the hermit crab!
But, you gotta admire her. It can't be easy to put on extra pounds when you're a former model and your body is going to be scrutinised by the media.
I agree with you about these former models who still stick to strict diet and exercise programs. I run, swim and do weights so that I can have the pleasure of eating and drinking. These models do way more exercise and don't even get the pleasure of eating!!! That's no way to live.
And why do they call Gisele Bundchen voluptuous? She is not voluptuous. She is tall and skinny!!!
And yep, I'm a double D. I only wish I was petite!! : )
And thank you, yes I am feeling much better. I had a combination ear infection and whopping big hole in one of my wisdom teeth. Nasty and painful. I was a very depressed person last week. But all is okay now!

She does make me laugh though (of course, I'm laughing at her, not with her!)

Tyra really is absolutely crazy, which is very entertaining. I much prefer watching her hosting Top Model than Erika Whatshername that hosts our version - she's dull and she looks like a man...

I hope one day women find the simple joys of being a healthy weight and look no further than the local park for exercise. You don't need a treadmill and celery to be happy !!
Lovely post, Kylie - will visit you more often !! Promise !!

Anthony - always good to see you! Tyra is a hottie and 70 odd kilo's for someone who is 5'10" is actually a normal healthy weight to be. It's just that next to the stick figures she now looks big!
AE - hehehe, she does kinda doesn't she. I've never seen it before!
