Seriously, is Jessica Simpson really fat?????

As a personal trainer and nutritionist, I have clients come to me all the time in search of a way to look like their favorite celebrities. Although I am happy to help them to look and feel their best, these ideals are often out of reach....why??? Because it is a celebrity's job to exercise for many hours each day, eat a regimented diet each day, fit into the clothes they are given, and roles they are cast in. We easily forget that and instead compare ourselves to them, leading us to feel inadequate and frustrated with our appearances. When you live in a society that calls a size 2 Jessica Simpson fat, what do you expect?!?! So instead of using all that energy on being unhappy with your body, gear it toward embracing your body. Get motivated by the fact that it moves you around, enables you to live! Use your energy to care for it, have pride in it! If you start eating right and exercising because you want to be healthy and feel good instead of look a certain way, you will stay motivated and be more consistent with your plan. The best part is, because of that you will not only be in great shape, but you will also look amazing! The point is, a healthy body is a beautiful body.
