“Wow. Wow. Wow.”
That is the only word my brain could muster up while watching the first ten minutes of Being Lara Bingle. I have never succumbed to the ‘Bingle Bashing’ and I still intend not to. However last night’s episode was some of the most irresponsible telly I have seen in yonks.
If you missed it allow me to recap for you.
After pictures of Lara in her bikini with cellulite on her arse taken six month ago re-emerged (welcome to 25 Lara), a conversation between Lara and her mate Hermione took place about shedding some kilos. FIVE kilo’s to be exact. Seriously? Two beautiful healthy looking girls on national TV declaring they were going on a diet to lose FIVE kilos! Is it just me or is this NUTS??
I was waiting for the punch line but quickly realised there was none.
The sad reality set in that I just was watching Lara Bingle talk about “apple cider vinaigrette and dandelion tea.”
All they had to do was drink “juice and vegetable broth” and it magically halved their boob size.
Lara has chosen to be in the public eye and responsibilities come along with that choice. It’s beyond disappointing that she and the producers of her show allowed such ludicrous conversations about weight and dieting go to air.

everyone wont's to look beautiful but i think everyone is perfect just the way they are b
it is always bothers me when i hear about women declaring that unhealthy overweight women are healthy. Lara went from being a healthy fit model, to eating fatty foods, binge drinking and doing minimal exercise. SHE WAS NOT HEALTHY! "Curves" do not equate to health - curves are apart of our unique body structure and they are what make us individual, and set us apart from men - it is not the excess fat, it is in the genes. I think instead of endorsing and celebrating a 'curvy' woman, we should acknowledge the difference between women's body shapes and educate teenagers (and adults) about food, and good food. Our bodies work as a system, you are what you eat! And in lara's case, she ate high fatty processed foods, thus - not only added unnecessary and unhealthy fat to her beautifully healthy body she had before, but she also feels fat, and depressed by her weight. This is a reaction to the bad foods she is eating, and i think it is important that we show people how the really shitty mainstream food out there, harms us psychically and emotionally.
she wants to lose the weight - GREAT!!! and she did, and she did it by giving her body proper nutrients, and lets not deny it.. she looks great now! so perhaps, the women who feel threatened by the discussion of weight loss, should give the health kick a go - don't be lazy, because we all know it comes from a darker place of insecurities about their own bodies, rather than eating disorders. being fat is also an eating disorder, just far worse than being skinny with one.
