This story has gotten so blown out of proportion (no pun intended

)
who cares if she's put on weight - it's the media -- it makes a good headline - they did the same thing to the red headed princess in england (who became the spokes person for weight watchers)
I think what irks me the most about this story -was a snippet that was in the paper recently - right after the story came out... that she admits she doesn't eat healthily but she's basically said - she's not a model anymore so she doesn't have to... Not sure I agree with that but she's a grown woman... she can do what she wants.
Yes, Tyra Banks admits she's gained some weight since her modeling days, but she is tired of the jokes made after photos of her wearing a one-piece swimsuit popped up on the Internet.
"It was really hurtful to me," the talk-show host tells People magazine in its Feb. 5 issue.
"I'm not the healthiest eater," she says, adding she isn't required to "live up to that model standard anymore."
The photos, which show Banks on a beach in Australia, appeared on a celebrity gossip Web site this month with the headline "Tyra Banks is Fat."
"I don't want to sit in front of you and be ... fake and say, 'I love myself, I'm beautiful, it's great,' " Banks told People. "I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, 'Damn!' "
