Kim Chiu weighs ‘anorexic’ critique
NRJ Ramos ( Manila Bulletin ) 08.05.09
Though she had faced the issue a thousand times over in the past, Kim Chiu still couldn’t believe how fans have been unceasingly fussy about her weight.
“Whenever I get the chance to read blogs and web forums, I almost always read comments about my weight—about how thin I am…how skinny my arms are...fans could worry so much sometimes,” said Kim.
“But what can I do? As I said before, I am not anorexic. This [type of body structure] runs in the family.”
Concern about Kim’s weight heightened last year when critics started haranguing her for supposedly promoting an “unhealthy image.”
“She or her management or whatever…they’re confusing people…and to think she’s endorsing what…? A softdrink… ? An instant pancit brand…? And to top it off she has this multivitamin brand too…no wonder she looks so sickly…she [her diet] is all artificial,” says a veteran writer.
“Have we really reached a point where a celebrity could resemble a malnourished child from a UNICEF ad and still not cause a fuss? Are we legitimately considering this kind of body type as normal?” asked a blogger.
Kim admits remarks about her weight sometimes get her down.
“It got to a point that I don’t want to read newspapers or surf the ‘net ’cause that’s [weight issue] all I read.”
But she’s not taking it sitting down. Since the subject was raised, Kim said she immediately took the initiative to enrol in a fitness center.
“I decided I need to do it for my own good…not because of the critics…so right now, I’m working hard to develop my physique. Actually, I try to do extra sets at the gym even if sometimes I want to give up and my knees are about to buckle,” she said, smiling.
Her home studio also helps her out by assigning a nutritionist to devise a healthy program for her.
“I’m now eating healthy using a list they have prepared for me and I try to follow it to the letter.”
And it is working. According to the young actress, she has gained a bit of weight since starting the regimen.
“A few pounds - and that’s something to be proud of! I think…”
I am sick and tired of almost everyone putting down Kim about her wieght. Yes, shes skinny but shes really pretty and shes tries her best to gain weight!
I feel for Kim because Im like that I'm 15 and only weigh 94 lbs. I'm not anorexic and for me and Kim its hard for us to gain weight. I've been doing what kim does and i go to the gym I've gained pounds.
Anyways people should stop putting her down, i can't believe that her fans do that to her ughh the world can be so mean.
For Kim, dont get affect to those kind of people just keep doing what your doing! Your already pretty! :D
Bakit ba palagi na lang nila sinasabi na payat si KIM? Dahil ba ito sa inggit? Yun iba nga kung ano- ano ang paraan na ginagawa nila para lang pumayat. Si KIM kahit na ano ang ipasuot mong damit sa kanya ke mura omahal bagay sa kanya. Yun iba nga mahilig pa sa mga may BRAND na damit pero hindi mo rin maappreciate dahil ang nagsusuot ay mataba. Si KIM talaga pang fashionshow ang body kaya marami ang naiingit.Just GO GO GO KIM GOD BLESS YOU.
KIM HINDI KA PAYAT NAIINGGIT LANG SILA SA IYO DAHIL ANG DATING NANG BEAUTY AY SOSYAL.
loool why doesnt she just eat fatty food to gain weight! MACDONALDS DIET. loool
2:58am SORRY HINDI TYPE NI KIMMY ANG MACDONALDS DIET. IKAW NA LANG ANG KUMAIN OKEY!
for those people saying KIM is payat siguradong nai-inggit lang kayo dahil MAGANDA pa rin kahit ganito sya. Wait til KIM gains a little bit of weight 5 or 10 lbs siguradong SHE'S DROP DEAD GORGEOUS AND DAMN HOT...kaya yan panlalait nyo sa kanya JUST WAIT AND SEE...KIM AND GERALD WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS STAY STRONG, LOVE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER...GOD BLESS U BOTH
Iyung tawag na healthy hindi naman sa palakihan ng katawan yun e.
Healthy physically meaning to say hindi ka palagi nagkakasakit at walang kang sakit sa loob ng katawan.Yung iba healthy emotionally, mentally,spiritually.
Marahil mas healthy pa si Kim kaysa iba diyan. Ganyan talaga ang physique sa family nila siguro.Ang gusto nila ipahiwatig siguro being an artist dapat seksi. Oh no, seksi ka naman kung puro lang ritoki hindi naman real.
Si Kim maganda siya, pinipintasan lang siya ng iba dahil may hinding mabuting motive behind the negative comments. Yung iba naman, talagang concern dahil ayaw nilang magkasakit si Kim.
Kung ano man ang ibinigay ng Diyos kay Kim dapat papasalamatan.
Tingnan mo,sabi nila ganito ganito, bakit maraming paring tagahanga si Kim? DAHIL MAGANDA SIYA SA LOOB HIGIT SA LAHAT AT MAGANDA RIN ANG PANLABAS NIYA. TANGGAP SIYA NG MGA FANS KUNG ANO MAN ANG PHYSICAL MAKE NIYA.
kIM TAMA KA,BE CONCERN ALSO OF YOUR HEALTH DAHIL SAGAD KA SA TRABAHO.THANK GOD HINDI KA NAGKAKASAKIT.
Wala na lang magawa ang iba. Naiingit lang ang mga ito dahil ang iba hindi na nga kumakain halos pero tumataba pa rin. Kim has a good body metabolism. Talagang petite ang size niya at kahit mag-gain pa siya she's still petite looking at talagang maliit ang body structure niya.Maganda din ang bone structure niya built for models talaga.I'm sure pag tumaba si Kim ang makikita mo lang tataba ay ang face niya. Ang iba nga diyan obsessed on how they look kaya kung ano ang ginagawa s katawan at kung ano-anong medical procedures ang sinusubukan just to be like her. Let her be no. She's beautiful, fresh and natural lookingkaya naman patay na patay sa kanya si Gerald. Remember what Gerald said he love's looking at Kim's face coz it's amazing and beautiful period. Leave her alone ok si Ge naman ang nag-aalaga sa kanya kaya maingit na lang kayo nang maingit ano. Love u Gerald & Kim.
Kim, don't listen to those negative people, you're beautiful, charming, and your weight is fine, pang model, inggit lang sila... there are others who's also skinny, but they don't write them up, people are just zealous at you because you're famous. Just be yourself and don't forget to pray, we love you and Gerald... take care!
yeah Kim, just don't mind those people. I bet they just have other favorites and it is just their way of putting you down. This even happens to Angelina Jolie. Just accept that there are people who cannot say anything good about others.
Gerald, we know that you are taking care of Kim and i surely admire you more for that. It is very seldom to see a guy like you these days. Always take care of each other ok?... =))
Alam mo Kim the more na nilalait ka ng iba dahil sa physical look mo,the more you will be blessed by God dahil hindi mo binibigyan ng pansin.
I PITY THOSE PEOPLE WHO THROW NEGATIVE COMMENTS OR OPINIONS ON YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF PUTTING YOU DOWN. TALAGANG NAKAKAAWA. PALAGAY KO HINDI SILA HAPPY SA LIFE NILA KAYA NANINIRA.HINDI BA SILA NAGTATAKA KUNG BAKIT MARAMING NAGMAMAHAL SA IYO KAHIT SABI NILA GANOON KA PHYSICALLY? NAKU TINGNAN NILA ANG SARILI NILA, SAAN BA SILA NGAYON. TALAGA KIM YUNG GANOON NA MGA TAO,MAWALA MAN SA MUNDO HINDI MAGIGING MASAYA ANG KALULUWA NILA.
Just ignore those comments and avoid people who annoy you. They are the disturbances which you should not put attention to. They are the people who are not happy because their motive is to put other people down.
Take it positively, take care of your health. Talagang gumamaganda ka lalo, just do not ignore healty tips to make you look more beautiful and endearing. Hindi ka magparitoki. Pasalamat ka kung ano ka man ngayon, siya ang bigay ng Diyos. Ikaw ngayon ang totoong Kim. But above all,its your inner good self that really makes you more beautiful. Just remain humble,good to everyone and be happy.
Feel ko talagang sincere naman sa iyo si Gerald. When he entered into your life hindi pa certain ang kung sino ka ngayon. Pero he supported you all the way.Nandiyan siya to give you moral support.Naalala ko yung first time na magkaharap kayo ni Sandara. Gerald was on the back stage at sabi nya he is with you to support you morally dahil sa intrigue.
You rise to where youare now because of your support to oneanother. Do not allow annoying circumsantces to separate your ways.God Bless!
KUng payat ka KIM so what!! Bagay naman sa iyo.. SIKAT ka at marami ang nagmamahal sa yo hindi lang c Gerald kundi ang buong KIMERALD,KIMNATION. Don't mind them, and don't bother yourself about them it's a waste of time. Take a look on your blessings, it's a continuous blessings, you have received one blessings after another, because God sees your pure heart.. Go, go, go KIM!!! We love you!! We are happy to see you on top!!
why would she want to be in a diet ..
hello did you see howmuch she ate in my girl?
her body is adverage?
I hate those people, those reporter na walang magawa kundi manlait ng kapwa. Come to think of it, kung may sakit si KIM, e dapat hindi mo sya makikita sa TV screen, dapat nagrest na sya, dapat matamlay sya, dapat iba na sya kumilos-nanglalata na... pero look kabaligtaran lahat, tingnan mo si KIM napakalakas ng energy, nagampanan nya ng maayos ang kanyang trabaho, nakapagportray sya sa mga role nya ng maayos- she has an excellent performance. Kaya kayong mga critics ni KIM gumising kayo, wala ba kayong utak.. Mag-isip muna kayo, kaya nahalata kayong INGGIT lang, siguro laos na favorite star nyo kaya gusto nyong pabagsakin si KIM. Nagkamali kayo dahil matatalino lahat ang mga fans ng KIMERALD... KIMERALD FOREVER!!!
Bakit ba ganyan ang style natin mga PILIPINO? Kapag may sumisikat pinababagsak dapat nga magpasalamat tayo dahil may mga PILIPINO na may mga talents. Magtulungan tayo sa ikauunlad nang atin bayan intead of INGGITAN. GOD BLESS PHILIPPINES!!!
How are na Kim, have a wonderful day and send our hello to Gerald.
I feel for kimmy! Bakit ba hindi sya tantanan ng pabalik balik na issue na yan? Parang masaya sila na saktan si kimmy marami na nga siyang nadaanang sakit sa buhay dadagdagan pa nila. Sana nandito talaga mama nya para may karamay sya lagi at nag aadvice.
I think people are trying to compare Kim with the other stars who are mostly eurasians and tend to be heavy set (pay attention to their thighs and legs).Actually Kim is a typical asian who would not really gain weight until in their thirties .I'm really envious of her body built.I have a very high standard for "beauty" and Kim i agree with Gerald you're beautiful !
Malaki talaga yung difference nung katawan ni Kim nung nasa PBBTE pa siya compared today kaya di nyo talaga masisisi ang iba na mag-isip na may eating problem sya. And I don't buy yung reason nya na ganun daw talaga ang body type nya and it runs in the family. I saw her brothers, sisters, father, and even her lola pero hindi naman sila kapayatan tulad nya. If she has a problem, acknowledge it, maybe not publicly but at least to herself. Denial is a stage, pero kung mahal nyo talaga sya, specially yung mga fans na very close sa kanya, intervene, help her out before it's too late, para sa kanya din naman yan e wag kayong maging kunsintidor. Advise lang ito and I have nothing against her.
Sa mga fans na super defensive, I understand where you're coming from, pero realistically we all know na hindi naman kayo ganun ka-close kay Kim to tell everyone that you know everything she does behind closed doors. Syempre may mga bagay na sya lang ang nakaka-alam. But there are tell-tale signs that you can never ignore, yung iba wala lang pero minsan yung iba it can be very alarming. If you choose to look the other way around then so be it, but let me remind you, kung totoo man yan then you're just helping her dig a bigger grave. Hindi lahat nang nagsasabi ng kanilang opinyon e detractors na, minsan yung iba concerned lang. Peace.
I agree with you! I'm also a fanatic kimerald fan! But I'm also concerned about the difference ng katawan ni Kim as compared before! Kim said she'l go to the Gym for a workout para tumaba which is totally wrong! Lalo siyang papayat diyan! Wala namang nagawa ang nutritionist niya!
If I were Kim just give her the best advice go to a specialist doctor and get some advice and tips to improve her weight! It needs a lot of examinations, tests etc. But she can do it for the sake of good health intentions!!
So to Kim if you are reading comments! This is not pintas! We are just concerned and alarmed about your looks because we love you!
Kim take good care of your health,it is a wealth.
I have gone over the comments here regarding your health,regarding other peoples' opinions on that matter.
I think people reacted because iba ang health mo during pbb days as compared to the present.OKEY LANG YUNG MGA COMMENTS NA REALLY DEEP IN THEIR HEARTS THEY ARE SO CONCERN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HEALTH.BUT THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS JUST TO PIN YOU DOWN IS A DIFFERENT THING.
Wala na sigurong mapipintas ang iba kaya inaatake ang physical look mo. God knows naman the motive of each giving comments. Good intentions and good motives merit heaven but those who are there just to pin you down,may panagutan pa at conscience lang nila ang magambala sa kanila kung hindi maganda ang intention.
Yes, Kim looks thin but it does not mean that if you are thin you are sickly. Many people who look big have many sickness and diseases pa in them.
What Kim needs is to gain in weight para lalaki kunti yung katawan niya.
Okey lang naman ang iniendorse niyang mga foods at vitamins a. Healthy naman siya at hindi nagkakasakit sa awa ng Diyos.
Kaya nga siya ang endorser kasi naniniwala at nagtitiwala ang mga sponsors sa kanya,believe sila kay Kim.
Kayo lang ang hindi believe na mga ctitics kasi iba ang laman ng utak niyo, ang manira ng kapwa. E ano kayo ngayon kasi ang ginagawa niyo mamimintas lang ng kapwa tao? Its not too late,you can change your attitude of seeing the good things in people rather than the negative. If ever it is,it should be constructive comments and opinions, not destructive. The intention must be good and of help not to put other people down.
Marahil those people trying to give negative comments on Kim is guilty of envy and of selfish motives.
Tama lang na siya ang endorser ng enervon. Tingnan nyo, sagad siya sa trabaho at kulang sa ulog but still Kim stays energetic and still remains effective in her work. Ang hindi maganda kung affected ang work niya dahil nagkasakasit sa dami ng trabaho pero hindi e. May stamina pa siya to finish all her commitments effectively.
hay naku even mga kapwa artista inggit sa katawan ni kim,d ba sabi ni anne gifted si kim kasi d na sya mahihirapan mag diet,nakakainggit daw..si katrina halili said na sana ganun rin katawan ko kay kim ,kaya pinapanood ko sya sa td at kung napapansin nyo halos lahat ng artista gusto magpapayat kung ano na lang ginagawa para pumayat .yan ang dahilan kung bakit favorite sya kunin as cover girl sa mga magazines kasi bukod sa perfect body for a model ang ganda ganda ng face nya at syempre pati kalooban nya...sa madaling salita she is very beautiful inside and out......inggit lang kayo ..may anorexic ba na very beautiful ang skin? may anorexic ba na very active? may anorexic ba na very fresh and lively ang face?may anorexic ba na beautiful na beautiful and mukha? in other words INGGIT KAYO KAY KIM CHIU KASI SHE HAS BOTH ....PERFECT CAREER AND LOVELIFE
PERFECT LOVELIFE? ha ha ha natawa naman ako jan, siguro pag umamin na siya I can agree with you...but nevertheless I agree with you that she has a PERFECT CAREER! Go Kim!
I am a huge fan of Kim and I agree with everyone that she is beautiful. But I really think she is too thin. It is strange for her to say that being thin and skinny runs in the family because back in PBB she was much more healthy and a bit chubbier. Not only that but her family is not even really skinny so how does it fun in the family? Her family looks a million times more healthy than Kim. I think if Kim really doesnt have an eating issue then she wouldve gained more weight already, but she still looks the same. She's very fragile and thin especially for her age and height. Also she should try eating whatever is given to her even if she doesnt like it if she really wants to gain weight. To me it seems as if she wants to stay the same. I can see it because I was once anorexic and I know the tricks to hide it.
Healthy ka Kim dahil hindi ka nagkakasakit. Dahil artista ka,napupuna yung weight at slim look mo. Actually hindi ka naman nagkakasakit at very energetic ka.
Go for constructive comments like try to visit or see a specialist on the matter.But try not to be too affected by the negative comments.May halong inggit yung iba, may halong malisya and some just to pin you down. Just concentrate on what is best for you.Alam mo naman yun e.
kim just eat lots of rice and we'll see what will happen. Nutritionist of Kim ,I think you don't know what you're doing. Protein shakes is not for gaining weight but for strenght only.
Kim you need new nutritionist who knows what she's doing.
kim dont worry about wat those people say ..
ur very pretty and ur weight is fine ... people are just jealous of how fortunate you are.. you've got a perfect career and lots of people who cares for you..
so just keep trying your best and ignore those people ..
god bless you and gerald ^_^
love you both!! <33333
Kim i noticed you've gradually loosing weight 2007 and really skinny 2008.I think with your hectic schedule,pressure,tension,you probably don't feel
like eating,GE said you'd rather sleep than eat.
I'm glad you've acknowledged the weight problem and have taken action thus gained some pounds.I
personally do not think you have anorexia (having
distorted body image and not eating)it's just that probably your daily caloric expenditure is more than your intake.Your nutritionist should know how to calculate your daily caloric requirement.With ht.of 5'5 your ideal body wt should at least 111-115 lb and also consider your BMI(ask nutritionist)this is not to look good but for health purposes.I desire for you to
stay healthy for yourself and Gerald(hopefully)
Kim i like your slim body now but i prefer a body for you na medyo may laman, blooming kang tingnan at lalong gaganda ka.. Take care much of your health.. Health is wealth!! Health and career must go together... We love you Kim & Ge!!
One good reason Kim should gain more weight is Gerald...remember the 3/26Chat session when he was asked if Kim were the woman he envisioned to be his lifetime partner...and he jokingly answered, "...only if she gains more weight..." then binawi niya.."di, joke lang..." then he continued...with the usual why he likes Kim...so Kim, am sure this is very good incentive....honestly, not only for Gerald but yourself mostly and your career.
I PERSONALLY THINK KIM'S FIGURE IS "TO DIE FOR."
SHE DID NOT ENTER THE SHOWBIZ TO BE A SEXY STAR,
RATHER, SHE WANTED TO PROVE THE WHOLE WORLD SHE
CAN ACT, PERFORM, AND DELIVER THE BEST SHE CAN
OFFER. AND RIGHT, SHE DID!!!
NEED I SAY MORE?!
kim you look fantastic, absolutely beautiful and radiant! i agree with one of the comments above that perhaps this showbiz lifestyle is taking alot out of you, because you're in such high demand, because you're so freakin awesome!
with that said, make sure you take the time to chill out, treat yourself to something big and yummy every now and then, you can afford to :) don't take this weight thing too seriously, we can see that you still have a heck of a lot of energy and vibrance, just have fun, be strong and know that you have many many many fans who love you, support you and care about you!
