Celebrities have always been pressured to look a certain way—generally very pretty and very very thin—but the latest super-underweight trend being driven by GLP-1 use (or misuse) and extreme weight loss we're seeing on social media and red carpets is scary and downright unhealthy for even non-celebrities.
Thorne-Smith has been open about her struggles with an eating disorder. In an December 2000 interview, she talked about the pressure she felt working on the Ally McBeal set. "I started under-eating, over-exercising, pushing myself too hard and brutalizing my immune system," she said. "The amount of time I spent thinking about food and being upset and my body was insane."
Today Thorne-Smith took to Instagram with some important counter-messaging and actual tools for managing the very real emotions that come from the pressure to be super thin.
But then she offers a positive alternative. "The second I start to hear that, 'Oh wait a minute, we’re all getting skinnier!' I take a breath take a minute and I go right into gratitude. Instead of thinking of my body as an object to be controlled and managed, I remember how lucky I am to have a healthy body and I say directly to my body: Thank you for allowing me to walk my sweet dogs and go for hikes and hug my friends and cook for my loved ones. I am so lucky that I get to do yoga and go to the market and just move through the world with relative ease."
