Kate Winslet’s Diet & Workout Routine
During the 2000 SAG Awards Kate opened up about her current diet, and workout routine.
“I feel fat and unhappy next to other Hollywood actresses,’ says Kate Winslet. ‘As long as all of this is going on (awards season), I have stopped exercising and am eating whatever I want.” “That (exercise) has gone out the window for now because I haven’t got time what with awards ceremonies and film premieres in Britain, Europe and elsewhere.”
“As a young girl, I never felt attractive. I was fat and unhappy at times and that kind of thinking stays with you your entire life.” “There’s always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.”
“At a certain point, when you achieve a lot of your goals and you can be proud of your work, you start to relax more about who you are, I don’t think I look too bad for a mother of two.”
Kate Winslet’s Thoughts on Body Image
This is a little tidbit of an interview with Kate from 2006 when she was promoting the movie “Little Children.”
Kate remembers thinking before filming, “‘How am I going to pull this off? The belly is certainly not what it was. The boobs are certainly not what they were. You do think, ‘Oh, God!’ but at the same time, I was playing a mother, and it’s so important to me to have those things look as real as possible.”
“More than ever now, I believe it’s so important to look as real and true to life as possible, because nobody’s perfect. I seem to be on a mission, but I don’t want the next generation, your daughters and mine, growing up thinking that you have to be thin to look beautiful in certain clothes. It’s terrifying right now. It’s out of control. It’s beyond out of control.”
The following is Kate’s feelings about magazines with extremely skinny celebrities, and models on them, and then the same celebrities who are on the covers expressing concern for young girls with eating disorders etc, who are trying to look like the cover girls. “And then express faux concern for them. If you’re really that concerned, don’t do it. Don’t put those pictures where young girls will see them.”
“For a long time that seemed like a huge responsibility, but if I am that to some young women, then that’s great. I’m tremendously flattered to be looked up to in that way, and I feel an enormous responsibility to stay normal and true to myself and not conform and all those things. You know? To be healthy. And normal. And to like to eat cake.”
Kate Winslet on Airbrushing
Kate was on the cover of a 2008 issue of Vanity Fair Magazine. Kate was very upset when people thought she had a lot of airbrushing done to the photos. In 2003 Kate caused a stir when photos of her in GQ Magazine came out extensively airbrushed. Kate was disgusted and spoke out on the matter. “I just didn’t want people to think I was a hypocrite and that I’d suddenly lost 30 lbs. or whatever.” “So I just came out and said, ‘Look, I don’t look like that’. I’m not mad at the magazine, but I have no intention of looking like that.”
Kate Winslet’s Quotes
“I never had a desire to be famous,” Kate said in a new Vanity Fair interview. “I was fat. I didn’t know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I’m being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid.” ”I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, ‘I should make more of an effort,'” the “Titanic” star told the style magazine. “But then I think, ‘They can’t be happy in those heels.'”
