Angelina Jolie has spoken out about her weight loss in Grazia saying that the negative coverage of her skinny frame did bother her because her weight loss was spurred by her mother’s death, not some skinny-minny fixation or eating disorder.

“The thing that’s disturbing is that instead of people saying, ‘This looks like a person that’s actually dealing with something, probably from emotions,’ they say, ‘Does she fit into skinny jeans and look thin?’” Jolie said.

“I want people to understand who I am as a person is not somebody that’s trying to look thin, but just trying to work through a very difficult year,” she said.

I admire Angie for speaking up against all the negative criticism out there. I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who have been in similar situations where emotional strains have affected their physical and/or mental health. We shouldn’t always judge a book by its cover, love muffins.
