Tyra Loses Weight the Right Way

In a country that is obsessed with weight while maintaining absurdly high levels of obesity, it is good to see someone in the limelight that can embrace their curves but also strive for health. While Tyra looked just fine to the vast majority of people in 2007 when she was shamed with unflattering paparazzi photos, she went on to lose 30 pounds over the past several months.

Tyra made internet waves and gave curvy girls a reason to stand up and pump their fists when she announced the world could “kiss my fat ass!” in response to some chunky looking swimsuit photos. Always a proponent of good self image, Banks admitted in her show that aired just today that her eating habits had gotten a bit out of control and while she was proud of her body, she knew it needed better attention.

Now, according to People Magazine, Tyra can say “kiss my fit, and still fat ass”. Working with a nutritionist and using a food diary helped this curvaceous and sexy star slim it down without succumbing to Hollywood’s unhealthy image of beauty.
