Jenni's Thoughts on Celebrity Weight Loss: Kelly Clarkson

american-idol-kelly-clarksonRemember how skinny Kelly Clarkson was when she was on Idol almost seven years ago (yes, that was 2002… my sophomore year of college). I’m sure the pressure of being on a national TV show, then the expectations set on Kelly by her record label would be enough to keep me from putting two bites of lettuce in my mouth.

But like any girl who grows up in Texas, the call of southern cooking at times is too much. I can only imagine not being able to eat breakfast tacos for lunch, guacamole for a snack, fried something or other for lunch, chicken friend steak for dinner smathered with gravy. Maybe not all of those, but the lack of Tex-Mex in my diet would drive me mad. MAD.

I’ll be the first to say, she was way too skinny back on Idol anyways. And in all honesty, the stupid papps probably photograph her from ridiculous angles, making it look like she is 160 pounds instead of the 130 she’s probably at. In the March issue of Us Weekly, Kelly talks about the rumors around a weight gain, lesbian tendancies (she has none), etc. And Glamour asks about whether or not Kelly’s pregnant and why we should even care in the first place

So the girl holds her weight in her stomach and around her face… I know a few people like that (cough cough, me). That said, the picture of Kelly from the first season of Idol is totally hot. And I’m not even a lesbian ;)
