Kelly Clarkson Talks Fitness And Fatness!
Filed under: Kelly Clarkson
Don't claim that's you!
Kelly Clarkson opens up about weighty issues in her dramatically retouched September issue of Self magazine.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On the haters:
"When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't. I'm fine!' My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more."On her exercise motivation:
"I do it totally for my psyche. I'm much better when those endorphins are going. It's a release. And I also love food, so there's a payoff!"On her Crossfit workouts:
"It's like bootcamp! You never work out more than 35 minutes, but it's so intense … It makes me feel like G.I. Jane. It's very empowering. I feel like I can whup ass!"On her diet:
"I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I'm craving, I go for it."On her secret weight loss:
"For me, it's the times when I'm not paying attention that I end up losing weight. But I'm never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I'm just being!"
We love a girl with a healthy body image, just make sure you send Mimoo's retoucher home!
No one likes a hypocrite!
Seriously, fatty, don't say you love the way you look then have 20+lbs trimmed off your photo.
Doesnt even look like her face =/
I fucking love Kelly.
Air brushed! Fo sho!
Another, "I'm ok with my chunkiness…" - yeah, right.
I am tired of you Perez! Funny thing is, you probably weigh as much as she does. You are still fat too you know! Just because you lose some weight does not give you the right to criticize others you piece of shit!
She looks good. I'm guessing she will continue the music thing. She should do some sort of pop dance music video. I'd like to see some different from her.
She isn't "healthy". Lately she is just plain old fat.
p.s. it's not Kelly's fault Self magazine decided to photoshop her.
very nice……………
I luv her! Shes down to earth! Nobody can have a ”perfect body” and if you feel good the way you are, skinny or curvy, thats the healty way!
I hope she his happy being broke too. nobody wants to buy a fat kelly clarkson album. did you guys see paris hilton's valtrex commercial. It's on realcelebritease.com, and its crazy!!!
yeah…photoshop there…BUT…stop calling fat cause you're fatter than her twice (other days triple-good job)…
'No one likes a hypocrite! ' that's really stupid -.-
i'm not a fan of hers, but this interview is so refreshing! good for her. it's all about a healthy lifestyle and staying active. fuck the scale, fuck the haters.
later peepssssssssss
)
How old is that picture?
MOO!
The girls don't have any say about how much they get retouched in these photos. Don't blame her, blame the magazine. She's saying she doesn't have a problem with her body — they changed what her body looked like.
It isn't like she's at the corner store erasing the fat off her thighs, issue by issue! Please!
And are you going to say that in all your magazine shoots, you've NEVER been retouched? Bitch, please!
"Whatever I'm craving I go for it." That's the mistake, right there. If anyone really wants to be skinnier they have to deny their cravings. If you eat whatever you want you'll gain weight. Whenever I've tried doing that, I've gained weight. You have to limit your calories to a certain amount and don't go past it.
100% retouched..what message is that sending???
She has no business being on a "fitness" magazine…bitch please……
Yes the most of hired Mariah's retoucher for sure. Fake fake fake!
Illustrated much?
perez, looks who's calling the cattle black
U ROCK KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FU HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:P
Oh man they really wen to town on this retouching!
Kelly didn't photoshop herself perez..shut the fuck up and go back to tokyo with your wife. You're just mad because she doesn't give a shit about what you have to say but nice try though. Kelly, you rock no mater what size you are. Fuck shallow people
Self decided to retouch, not Kelly. I think she looks great, and I am sure we would all like to have a phot of ourselves retouched: no pimples, no double chin, no belly fat or whatever your issue is. I love her attitude and I think that is healthier in the long run than her being a few pounds thinner.
PEREZ IS A TURD. KELLY RULES! LOVE HER
im pretty sure she doesn't have a choice to be retouched or not. isn't that the magazine's choice??
she should of realized that the magazine cover will make her look like a hypocrite by saying she is proud of her weight but then gets retouched on the cover. i would have rather read about her having a problem with the magazine wanting to re-touch her picture when it sends mixed messages
I can't believe I actually agree with Perez for once.
I am very disappointed Kelly, BUT I am more disappointed in SELF.
I receive that magazine, but I will NOT be renewing my subscription. They have lost all credibility by doing that much photoshop on some one that everyone sees regularly and we all now she has not been that thin for at least a couple years now. Since the mag claims it's emphasis is on health and NOT size this photo (and the ones inside) are total hypocrisy. BULLSHIT, I say, Bullshit!!!!
That looks nothing like her.
I fucking hate this society! They try to make you believe you can loose all the weight you want by just eating salad and proteins shake, without exercice!
Even worse, some people, like Kelly, lie to themselves thinking they can eat whatever they want without exercising and not gaining an ounce. Bunch of hypocrites.
Jesus, I don't know if I have seen a more photoshopped cover in my life. I am glad she is happy with her figure, but Self should be ashamed. Did they think no one would notice that Kelly went from about a size 14 to a size 4 for the cover?!?!
HYPOCRITE: dictionary says perez hilton
She's a chubby, no two ways about it. She can defend "chubbiness" but nothing else.
A little late Perez. This shit was already talked about.
she's still selling records and making mad money. work it out kelly clarkson. you fucking rule!
basically a cartoon and it dont even look that good
Re: Gigi7 – she said she doesn't WANT to be skinnier!! we need to change this obsession with losing weight!!
eat what you want (in small portions), EXERCISE and live actively and you will be your HEALTHY body proportion. THAT should be the priority. THROW OUT THE SCALE
i haven't weighed myself in years but i feel awesome, do yoga 3-4x a week, hike on weekends, and eat whatever the hell i feel like eating. and i'm in the best shape of my life. (size 0-2)
You know what? With all that $, you'd THINK she would be more grateful, and keep the fat down. After all appearance is EVERYTHING. It's a NEW THING, Kelly! Duh! You're so fat, we can hardly see your eyes!
She is the queen of hypocrites!!!
Airbrush mania…..she's fat!!!!!!!!
i like her!
Paris Hilton has herpes?
i'm glad she's happy about herself… she's beautiful and shows that u don't have to be a size two to be pretty. love her! all u haters, back off!
perez ur a fat obese man leave a normal size girl alone
fucking mysoginist porkez… you're an hypocrite and nobody likes you pendejo!
you reaaly should not throw the "h' word around. glass houses perez
i think kelly's beautiful just the way she is. but, shame on self magazine for air brushing kelly, making her into something she's not.
"Erase 8 pounds!"
"Be Hot By Saturday!"
"Foods That Fight Fat!"
….. Oh, and Kelly Clarkson says something or another about staying true to yourself, and how everyone will love you.
Who is the editor of this JOKE of a magazine?
Shame on the magazine for trying to promote self esteem and loving yourself the way you are but then retouching the photo THAT much. Everyone knows she doesn't look at all like that. What a hypocritical magazine.
Shut the fuck up. It wasn't Kelly that told them to retouch the photos! Get your stories in full detail; Self ADMITTED to photoshopping her.
lovee her and her body
I love Kelly, but when she says, "I'm fine with my weight" and then proceeds to be totally altered and enhanced on a magazine cover .. not so good.
Kelly, you're the best .. be careful with contradictions.
Again, Perez, you showcase your total lack of knowledge about the journalism industry. It's completely 100% the MAGAZINE'S decision to retouch/airbrush/photoshop not the model/artist/subject. They own the photo and can do whatever they like to it. And, she did come out against the airbrushing on this cover art. The AP did a story on it.
She was photographed last week about 35 pounds heavier than that photo!!!
THEY DROPPED ABOUT 25-30 LBS OFF IN THIS PHOTO. IF I WAS HER I DONT THINK I WOULD BE FLATTER
BUT RATHER DECEIVED.
ITS SUCH A DRAMATIC FAKE PHOTO
WTF?! they took off like 150lbs off her!!
Why would Self put Kelly Clarkson of all people on the cover of their mag that's about getting in shape and being healthy? She's definitely not the poster child for that. If she's comfortable with herself, fine, but it's pointless to photoshop the hell out of a picture just to make it fit the culture of the magazine. That's hypocrisy at it's finest.
ALL FAT PEOPLE CLAIM THEY LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THEY HATE BEING FAT. IF KELLY COULD MAGICALLY TURN SKINNY ON DEMAND YOU CAN BET HER FAT ASS THAT SHE WOULD JUMP (if she's not too fat to jump) AT THE CHANCE. IF SHE REALLY WANTED TO BE HONEST SHE WOULD JUST ADMIT THAT SHE IS A FAT ASS WHO WISHES SHE WERE SKINNY.IF SHE WERE SO HAPPY WITH HER BODY, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE LOST WEIGHT PREVIOUSLY, (JUST TO GAIN IT ALL BACK AND MORE)
SOMEDAY I WILL WRITE A BOOK ABOUT BEING SKINNY AND STAYING THAT WAY. ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER BEEN FAT, I'LL GIVE YOU LUCKY READERS A HINT; [TAKE HEED KELLY]:
1.WALK 30 MINUTES OUTSIDE EVERY MORNING AND EVENING AS THE WEATHER ALLOWS,(TREADMILL ON BAD WEATHER DAYS). THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO WALK YOUR DOGS.
2.ANYTIME YOU WATCH TV YOU MUST DO SO ON THE TREADMILL OR STATIONARY BIKE.
3.ANYTIME YOU ARE ON THE COMPUTER YOU MUST MOVE WHILE SITTING DOWN. JUST CROSS YOUR LEGS AND SWING OR ROCK YOUR TOP LEG FOR 10 MINUTES THEN SWITCH.
4.IF YOU ARE LAYING IN BED YOU MUST STILL MOVE, EVEN IF ITS KEGELS (SQUEEZING YOUR ASS OR VAGINA MUSCLES IN AND OUT AGAIN), SIT-UPS, SWINGING YOUR LEGS IN THE AIR OR SEX.
5.NO WHITE FOOD, BREAD, BUTTER,CHEESE OR ANY DAIRY, FRIED FOODS OR SWEETS.
6.NO EATING AFTER 7:00PM
7.THE AMOUNT OF MEAT (TRIMMED FROM FAT) YOU CAN EAT PER MEAL SHOULD NOT TOTAL ONE MEASURING CUP.
8. EAT ALL THE RAW OR STEAMED VEGETABLES AND FRESH FRUIT YOU DESIRE.
9. DRINK 1.5 LITERS OF WATER EVERYDAY (THE EQUIVALENT OF A TALL BOTTLE OF WATER.
PLEASE!
PEREZ,YOU FAT FUCK PEICE OF SHIT
YOUR LIKE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE NO THIS PLANET.
DOUCHEBAG.
can i say.. PHOTOSHOPPPPPPPPPPP!
GOOD FOR HER! SHES A REAL WOMAN!
its not like she airbrushed her own photo, dumbass.
you talking about hypocrisy is such a joke.
Kelly should be ashamed of that retouched cover. She looks like Chazz Bono in real life.
Love her personality!! For once, she's a celebrity that doesn't have the EXACT same body as everyone else and she just doesn't try to lose or gain.. I'm not like a fan of her music, but she has a good voice and she's a great role model if you ask me.
messy person - just don't like her or that screaming - messy
How is it her fault if they mess with her photo? They always photoshop the pictures, they might have done a little to much, but I'm sure she didn' ask them to.
