Unhealthy Habits?
Chelsea is sharing pictures of her baby bump, and it’s clear that she’s staying petite during this pregnancy. A recent share of her bump at 20 weeks received endless comments about her slim shape.
Reddit user keatonpotat0es joked, “If that’s her at 20 weeks pregnant then I must be like six years pregnant.” User teabaggedyourdrumset wrote, “Jesus I’m about to be 23 weeks tomorrow with my second and I’m HUGE. I can’t believe she’s so tiny with her third. Good for her!”
But there were some fans who are concerned about Chelsea’s relationship with her weight. This may have to do with her promoting a weight loss program while she’s pregnant.
“I mean I feel like there’s being in shape while pregnant, and then there’s this. Tbh i won’t be surprised when a few years from now Chelsea reveals she was suffering from an eating disorder,” wrote user disenchanted_elle. “Unpopular opinion so come at me bro.”
User Pinkiexoxoxo wrote, “2 stints of treatment at [eating disorder clinic] Renfrew for anorexia in my early 20’s and I agree. I feel like eating healthy and treating your body with respect is a GOOD thing but i feel like her obsession with weight after Watson and now into this pregnancy is going a bit far. I think she ‘prides’ herself on being little as opposed to be being healthy.” User awolfsvalentine wrote, “i too have been admitted for treatment twice for anorexia and recognize patterns of behavior i’m seeing with our girl chels here.”
Chelsea isn’t the only one on fans’ radars when it comes to eating disorders. Her co-stars Jenelle Evans, Farrah Abraham, and Mackenzie Mckee have even been accused of promoting eating disorders!
Going Too Far?
“#ad I’ve really been liking @flattummyco’s new lollipops that just dropped this week. They’re designed to suppress my appetite, and I find they’re already started working. Over the past couple days whenever I felt like snacking, I’ve been reaching for these lollipops instead, andI find I’m not eating anything else between meals. You gotta get your own. #suckit #flattummypops,” reads one of Jenelle Evans’ recent Instagram posts.
Farrah Abraham also shared a snap of her new product! “#ad I’m so excited to tell you guys about what’s already my new favorite thing; @flattummyco’s appetite suppressant lollipops! 🍭I seriously don’t know how they did it, but they’re super yum and only have 35 calories with no artificial flavours or preservatives. I just grab one when I’m starting to feel hungry in between meals and they completely hold me over until my next meal. I’m obviously going to be carrying these around with me all summer 💁🏽. Ladies if you haven’t yet…you should really check them out! #flattummypops,” she wrote.
Fans are concerned about some of the language in their promotional captions, as some believe they promote unhealthy or even disordered eating habits!
User @theheatherashley wrote, “WEIGHTLOSS PSA: Appetite suppressants aren’t how you lose weight, they’re how you gain anorexia. Your body NEEDS food to fuel it’s body or it will eat itself to make sure you don’t die. When it starts eating itself, your metabolism lowers, working against future weightloss.” User @kelseyfeldman agreed, “If you’re hungry then you should eat. This isn’t something to promote especially to the younger audience you have.” User @carrie.b.nongkhlaw even wrote, “Let’s take action guys as responsible adults!!!! REPORT THIS TO IG ASAP!!!!! The more people report the more IG WILL REMOVE!!! THESE types of INSENSITIVE ADVERTS are the reasons why kids have eating disorders!!!!” And @0711_v wrote, “as an influencer, you should be ashamed of yourself. these kinds of stuff leads to eating disorders.”
