I don't think I will ever understand Bella's style

THIS. People always bitch about how unfair it is that a seemingly small percentage of people can eat "whatever they want" and not gain. It's because THEY DON'T REALLY EAT LIKE THAT. Annoys me to no end.

I often will eat a chocolate muffin for lunch at work. Colleagues see me regularly eating chocolate muffins and say "Oh I can't believe you eat that and stay so skinny!". They don't know that the chocolate muffin is (usually) the only thing I will eat all day. Plus, my colleagues often eat high calorie lunches like large creamy soups or big creamy salads with lots of avocado and potato and think they're being healthy when little do they know, is that their salad/soup has more calories than my muffin.

I am not by any means pretending to be healthy, it's just interesting to see people's perspectives on food.

Agree -- in society we already have debates over models/magazines/photoshop, etc inspiring eating disorders and body dysmorphia... so yeahhh, adding in deceptive messages about food and diet is the last thing any of us need in all this

I used to be one of these girls--I was really young, and would eat what I saw thin celebrities eating, and was so confused why I was 10-15 pounds heavier than I "should" have been given their supposed diets. Only when I restricted to around 1000-1200 did I lose the weight, and it dropped off really fast at first.

I was exactly the same - would read celebrity diets in magazines, follow them to the letter, then be genuinely incredibly distressed at how my body was "broken" and I just "couldn't lose weight." The propagation of gross misinformation about diet and weight loss so as to appear that one eats "normally" really bothers me.

UGHHH wow that is terrible, I'm glad you both have broken through the deception, I'm sure lots of other girls just continue on doing what they're doing in the vain hopes that they'll get skinny if they just stick it out. At my age (haha that makes me sound so old.. I just mean late 20s) I lived through a time before the whole "relatable" thing, the whole trend of "I eat junk food!" I still had misconceptions though, like believing fruit, vegetables, and sugar-free gum had no calories/didn't count/were "free foods," etc. It was better than junk food but was still the difference between "slender" and SKINNY. That's what makes an SG girl - knowing the difference, and knowing how and WHY :)

That's great and all but she is losing whilst telling young girls that that's how a model eats. It's unrealistic and makes people question why they aren't losing weight even though they are eating like Bella Hadid

I was talking w/ @Alpha Bullcock a few weeks ago and he said a very smart rant about how that exact thing does more harm to young women than the skinny sites that get attacked. I told him he should write about it and this is my way of reminding him, by shaming him in front of all of you. ;)

Me too. Used to eat all sorts of junk food because I'd read an article about how some actress I considered thinspo at the time (was probably average) ate junk food all the time, had such a terrible diet, etc.
At my age (haha that makes me sound so old.. I just mean late 20s) I lived through a time before the whole "relatable" thing,
I'm 24, and maybe I'm younger than you but it was still there in the magazines growing up. Eating disorders were just starting to become a public awareness/outrage, and all the skinny celebrities were pioneering our beloved tactics for making people think it was all natural.
Sometimes I wonder if people weren't so tetchy about EDs, if we could be more honest.

Call me a pessimist but still doesn't do any good most of the time. The people who work with me see how I eat - no hiding it lol. When I tell them to eat less, they just say it's "too hard" - and I get it. It is hard. Life is hard. But it's easier to say "that girl has an eating disorder, that's why she's so skinny" instead of "she busts her ass and sacrifices to look the way she does". That's why people still think JUNK FOOD is part of a "healthy" diet. Like really??!? You've got to be fucking kidding me... but the sad reality is that this is how they actually think.

also, because real eating disorders are very complex and not exactly something that "sharing" or talking about will fix, unfortunately.

Bella looks like she's been putting in the effort to resemble a real model. Disgusting food Instagrams and horrendous style aside, weight loss looks good on her.
