About This Quote

While some people think that there is a direct correlation between weight and success, the reality is that a person’s weight has little to do with their success. In fact, many successful people are quite thin. Celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Jennifer Lawrence have been criticized for being too thin, but those criticisms were based on generalizations about what makes a successful person, not on specific details about those successful people. In some cases, it seems as if the more attractive you look, the more likely you are to be criticized for being too thin—as if attractive people have an obligation to be chubby.
