'Bridget’s stats matched mine in high school, which was around the time I started starving myself. How many times had I watched this movie as a teenager and internalized that my body needed fixing too?'

’s magnetic smarminess for the umpteenth time, but not eight minutes into my viewing experience, a shocking realization hit me: Bridget Jones, the titular character whose New Year’s resolution is to “lose 20 pounds,” weighs 136 pounds.

The movie—and the book by Helen Fielding that it was based on—goes to great lengths to tell us Bridget’s exact weight at several points. “Weight 136 lb” is the very first thing the movie Bridget writes in her diary, which is odd since she lives in the U.K., where we can only assume they lament body weight using kilos. We are told from the start that Bridget’s number is an obstacle to overcome, and she spends much of the remainder of the film trying to alter herself.

We use lbs in the UK. Continental Europe uses kilos.

I wish people learn to feed their kids properly. Obesity start in the first years of life. America has a problem with weight. Continue to hate your body or start considering a healthy diet. It’s as simple as that.

If stuff like this is gonna trigger...then we've got waaay bigger problems...lets not forget she ends up happy in end with herself...this is dumb AF

And how many times was the “heroin chic” look the only way a model was ever shot for Vogue? I remember as a teen in the 90s starving myself for days until the scale didn’t show 3 digits anymore and that was before Bridget, but I did love fashion magazines.

Let’s look at all the times vogue has printed actual diets for their readers to follow.

Lord, women were starving themselves way before Bridget Jones.

How many times has Vogue Magazine made women of all ages feel that way too?

damn don’t care
