Jennifer Hudson Too Thin?

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

Since it is "that time of year" (you know ... weight loss month) I thought I would express some feelings I am having toward this magazine cover.  As we all know, Jennifer Hudson is a spokesperson for Weight Watchers.  This magazine cover makes her look TOO THIN!  At first when I saw this I got disgusted like what is Weight Watchers doing?  The great thing about them is they approach weight loss with a realistic healthy approach but she is looking TOO THIN!  
Picture un-"cover"ed - you can see that Lucky did photoshop!
.
I think this picture as it is - would have been a better representation!

Maybe I am being to critical ... the two photos aren't that DRASTICALLY different but I am just sick of magazine covers giving a false reality of what people look like especially someone who is a spokesperson for weight loss - let's keep it realistic - you have people looking up to you and using you as inspiration.

What do you think about magazine covers?

  1. Wow, you can definitely tell a difference before and after photoshop! I think you make a great argument. Hopefully more people will be vocal about this!

  2. You've definitely got a point! She went through a drastic change which is impressive in itself. There's no need for anything more.

  6. I agree the cover makes her look way too thin but the photo in the inside she looks great. I get so sick of seeing photoshopped photos of celebrities. I mean I get it they aren't going to show the cellulite on the cover but lets be serious they are human too!

    1. Totally - everyone wants to look their best especially on a cover but best and fake are totally different.

  7. I don't leave a ton of comments, but I looked at a few of the remarks here "Jennifer Hudson Too Thin?". I actually do have a few questions for you if it's okay.
    Could it be only me or do a few of these remarks appear like they are left by brain
    dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other social sites,
    I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
    Could you list of the complete urls of your shared pages like
    your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
