Potent Quotables: Minnie Not-So-Skinny

"It's unhealthy and horrifying to me. Plan on seeing me fat, walking around Malibu, proud of it." --Minnie Driver

Worrying about the weight she'll gain during her pregnancy is clearly not on the actress turned singer's mind. Take that, Hollywood.

She's not overly voluptuous or thin, and she's being realistic. I wish more of the "elite" celebrities would think this way , and think how they influence our young people.

I like that celebs are being "bad influences " on young people by being thin and healthy...don't get me wrong there are plenty of underweight celeb's out there but fat ass slob people are ruining our country.

I am a weight counselor and personal trainer. That being said..good for Minnie. Too many people are way concerned with weight gain during pregnancy. You have to gain weight! You do do not want to deprive your baby of needed fats. You also do not nned to eat a box of poptarts every day.

Here are a other few tips that I give out:

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If you can't be
perfect in your eating don't make the day a wash and start
"tomorrow".

Try to eat something you truly enjoy every day.

Try to eat cooked tomatoes..lycopene is great for all
especially men!

Get a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps a day.

If you don't get enough fruits and veggies take a good multi vitamin.

Try to get exercise in when you can. I have read about smartsoles on
many aol boards and they actually work, they increase calories burned
with each step and tone muscles http://www.smartsole.com

Join a support group to discuss food issues, even if seeing a
nutritionist. I have found that good
old fashioned weight watchers truly is the best and not expensive.

And the best thing I did for myself as a single woman is get a pet.
It has reduced stress for me and added to my happiness.

Try not to eat your heaviest meal too late.

Don't hold grudges!

Again all are "tries". nobody is perfect!

I found a code for the smartsoles...you can use SMART15 and get 15% off

What "refreshing" comments. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." So very true, and so inspirational. Thank you!

While I mostly agree with your post, there is one thing that is incorrect. Not every woman needs to gain weight during pregnancy. If you start your pregnancy 20 to 30lbs overweight, you don't have to gain an ounce. I was overweight when I started with my 3rd pregnancy, watched what I ate, and ended up losing 10 pounds. I was 20lbs lighter when my baby was born than when I conceived. And my baby was strong and healthy at 8lbs. But women, remember that your baby needs the fat for brain development. Pregnancy is not the time to go fat free and low calorie. Your baby needs the nutrients.

Tomatoes are bad for you... Everyday, someone who eats a tomato dies... But the rest of your comments are spot on. D.

Ms. Driver has always been stuck on herself.
Do we care if she is fat or thin? I can certainly
say I don't. what seems more relevant is
she is not married and what kind of message
does that send?

Oh please!. No one cares about your archaic beliefs. I wish people like you would stop forcing your religion and morals on everyone else. This article is about her health and her pregnancy. Congrats to her. You should be ashamed, but I'm sure you are too closed-mineded to see that.

I'd say aloha to you in a New York minute, honey. Exactly who died and made you God?

It doesn't seem like SHE is stuck on herself and her image... but rather the media for some strange reason finds this interesting enough to put in a list of quotes from other retarded (not minnie) celebrities.
