America’s losing it
Saturday, September 22, 2007
America Ferrera has lost a whole lot of weight. There have been some tongues a-wagging saying that she’s given into pressure from the industry. America has been like a shining light in the midst of the size zero storm.
But it’s reported that she has lost 20 lbs (9 kg) in recent weeks. Wonder if this will have an effect on how she comes across as the star of Ugly Betty. Will she still be seen as a role model? America is standing by her new body and blames the weight loss on a hectic shooting schedule.
She told US magazine, “I feel like I’m a regular person. I’m a size 10 or 12, which is totally normal. But I feel that since I wanted to get in better shape, there has been a bit of a backlash.”
