Has anyone seen Jill Scott lately? Doesnt she look amazing????? I think I utter those words every time I see her. Its not unusual for a celebrity to lose weight. Many have done this including Jennifer Hudson, Star Jones, Monique and etc. However this is the first time that I've seen a celebrity lose weight and felt inspired myself. I've always been a Jill Scott fan...I'm talking about since her lets take a long walk days...and Jill Scott has always been "plus size". I dont know her personally and I've never met her but she's always come across as being so cool and comfortable within her skin and that just made me love her more.
We live in a society that is obsessed with being thin and where the mere thought of being *cough* fat *cough* is frowned upon. Seriously how many fat jokes have you heard? How many times have you gone into a store and saw a cute skirt, shirt, dress and discovered that the store did not carry your size. Its not always a pleasant experience. There is always the pressure of conforming and meeting America's thin expectations. Thats why I think I've always loved Jill. She's always broken the rules whether it was vocally or physically.
Recently Jill has lost weight and I feel that she looks amazing(told you I say that a lot LOL) Whats even more amazing are all of the men and women on twitter and facebook that I see proclaiming their love for curves, their love for a woman who may not be a size 2, their admiration for her new look. I say KUDOS to you Ms Scott .... you look phenomenal and you dear are my SHERO for the month!
