She has an athletic and slightly boyish figure so being slender suits her. She lost weight since first coming into so much public attention, but she seems to be healthy and that is what matters. Couric is right, there is too much focus on how women look and too much criticism, however she and most other women contribute to that greatly. It's a vicious circle. Couric will be envious of Kate for being so thin, not because she believes all women should be that way, but because she believes the rest of society believes all women should b that way.
What Couric is really saying is: I wish women weren't judged so much on their looks, but because they are, I feel compelled to criticize the ones who look like our culture's current ideal.

Katie Couric thinks women are overly criticized for their looks -- but she has no problem taking a dig at Kate Middleton's weight. Couric admits that the pretty duchess is at the top of her interview wish list for her upcoming daytime talk show, "Katie."
"I think it would be really interesting to interview Kate Middleton because I think she has comported herself so well since she has been thrust in the limelight," the 55-year-old said, according to sheknows.com. But she adds: "I think she needs to eat more because she’s so thin."
Kind of ironic, because Couric also points out: "You don’t see male CEOs or politicians picked apart for the way they look as much as women." Well, the 30-year-old royal bride certainly is pin-thin, but she always looks elegant to us. Do you think she's too skinny?

Hard to say. Could just be her natural figure. Still, she looks so frail to me...
And you are absolutely correct about the word skinny. It is as offensive & negative as the word fat. I wouldn't dare go up to someone & tell them they were fat... acquaintance, friend or stranger. But I have had that happen to me so many times... people will simply walk up to me out of no where & tell me that I'm so skinny I make them sick or that I need a sandwich or some stupid thing like that... while I used to be able to eat more than my father when I was just a little tyke (8, 9, 10 years old) & he was actually overweight & in his thirties.
High metabolism is nice to a point. But we have to be careful. We are more prone to stroke & heart attack... not to mention hypoglycemia. On top of that, we tend to be very expensive to have around... because we need a constant intake of food.
I find, after decades of trying different eating habits, that the best thing for me to do is eat small meals all day. So, instead of a great big breakfast, it's better that I have a small one, then eat some more in a couple hours, then again a couple hours later & again a couple hours after that. It's called "grazing" & it keeps my energy level & metabolism balanced out quite well.

Take care of yourself & don't bother with anyone who says anything negative about your body. They're just jealous after all. Tell them you feel sorry for them that they are so unhappy about themselves that they have to degrade you & walk away. Giving them any more time/attention than that isn't worth it.
in denial of reality,she is just perfect.
for people like me who dig women with womanly
figures or who understand the average woman's
size is way beyond two,she's another bony exception
to the average woman.
Regardless of your preference, it's highly insulting to compare the bodies of women who are naturally finer boned and slender and of a HEALTHY weight (i.e. not anorexic) to those of 12 year olds and imply that the men who find them attractive are paedophiles.
like natalie portman.say what you want,that is
not kate middleton's normal body weight.
most of the fashion industry is based on
an adolescent body type.most normal guys
just aren't into rail thin women,so you can stick
your lame admonishment up your australian ass.
As for your, what, argument? Kate Middleton is not RAIL THIN. The following is copy and pasted from my original post:
"People aren't made from one mould (or any mould for that matter); they are DIFFERENTLY SHAPED. Some women with bigger body statures would be underweight if their arms or legs were of the same thickness as hers and others wouldn't! She is slender without lacking muscle mass, she is fit, and she is within the healthy weight range for her own body."
This picture was taken this year.
we'll never agree,why bother?
disrespectful way i treated you,noobcake.i pride myself
on acting in an upstanding and respectful manner in
person and online.i have never treated anyone as badly as i
did you on this site.i'll make no excuses for my negative
words,i would like to offer an apology from the bottom of
my heart to you,noobcake.you seem like a very nice person
and you certainly showed it by your classy response to my nasty
reply to you.you were 100% correct;i'm too old to act in that
way towards anyone.
i hope you can forgive my transgression and hopefully
oneday become one of my acquaintences on this site.
I most definitely forgive you. It is difficult to be on one's best behaviour all the time and it takes real courage to apologise in those instances when we mess up.
kindness,noobcake.for a second i thought that
you weren't interested in my apology.i abandoned
that thought,because it just wouldn't make sense
for a thoughtful person to ignore an apology.
thanks again. :)
