From memory- the video was called 'happy and healthy' and she openly showed her measurements and tiny waist (that many co-stars at the time had commented on in her videos) and then said she weighed 10st 8lb. I was a teenager when I watched that video and I had that exact weight as my goal weight when I joined slimming world after watching it. Seeing this has made me realise how f'd up that video is.
Also, isn’t she about 5foot4? Didn’t she refer to herself as overweight in that video? At 10stone8 at that height, she would be barely overweight according to bmi (I know bmi is rubbish, just providing reference). Her waist has always been the tiniest part of her body- I think she once said that in a video. I’m 5foot6 and my goal is 11 stone - her hip measurement in that video is what mine is at the moment.
tbh I always felt iffy about her sharing her measurements in that video, as a public figure she really didn’t think that through at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if her waist measurement made a lot of her young fans feel insecure. In my head I’m currently figuring out what her body type is. Pictures point more towards hourglass than pear shape.
Remembering that video, I do wonder what her goal was. She talked about liking food, barely exercising and then shared her measurements. Can you imagine what impressionable young people watching her would’ve had going through their heads? She eats a lot, doesn’t exercise and yet her waist is tiny? I definitely in camp delete old video, and make a new video apologising to the people who were affected by it. Genuinely apologising, not ‘I’m sorry you took it that way’.
