In a society obsessed with weight, TheSkinnyWebsite serves as a one of a kind website. Its sole focus is on celebrities weight gains/losses, eating disorders, pregnancies, and sometimes even features men! There are pictures and articles scanned from magazines such as Shape and various tabloid and fashion magazines.

I love the site because weight/dieting is an important part of my life. I am not only preoccupied with my own weight but I am interested and fascinated with how people in the spotlight look.

This site explicitly states that it is not intended to be "pro anorexia" or aimed towards women with eating disorders. It is merely here to fill our need to know about celebrities and their bodies.

Unfortunately, the site appears to be infested with girls who suffer from eating disorders. You think Jessica Biel looks great? Well chances are half the girls commenting on her picture are disgusted by her curves and think she needs to lose weight.

This can prove to be problematic, and if you think you might be triggered, just avoid the comment section, have fun viewing the pictures.

I have this site book-marked and check it every day. It provides entertainment and proves to show that even celebrities are human: everyone, no matter how famous has weight fluctuations, it's life!
