Tuesday TV Tips: Cornered on a train by an old woman who recommended a diet
Jen Morris and Justine Stafford on The Talk: Body Image. Beauty content creator Jen Morris describes her wish to lose weight as a child. “I vividly remember when I was young, thinking, like, if I could just get a little bit sick. Like, if I could get some kind of disease, that I would be sick enough that I wouldn’t die, but that I would be skinny.”
Four young women discuss how they feel about their bodies — from childhood diets to dating and bullying. Curvy model Jessica Cinelli recalls a desire to diet at the age of eight, while comedian Justine Stafford details the school bullying that spurred her to lose more than half her body weight in three months.
Plus-size model and blogger Brenda Mangwandi discusses the worst things that have been said to her, describing an ex-boyfriend who constantly compared her to a slimmer friend. Jen mentions the embarrassment of being cornered on a train by an elderly woman who recommended a diet to her, saying “When you’re bigger, people just feel like they can tell you anything. Because they feel like they are helping you.”
