Just when I thought Hollywood was embracing curves and women with more meat on their bones, a new unhealthy trend starts circulating. Apparently now the "it" thing is to be a size triple zero with a 23-inch waist. Yes, sadly that's NOT a joke. Grazia magazine reports that women in L.A. are obsessing over being the tiniest they can get. "It's not about size zero anymore. These days, double-zero sizes don't cut it either. Size triple zero is the number-one goal here."
Ugh, really people? Why are we regressing when we should be progressing!

Looks like models and some actresses are paving the way for this new dangerous diet trend. The measurements these women are aspiring to be are only intended for girls in elementary school ages six to eight which makes it absurd. You're probably wondering, where do these women shop for clothes?
It turns out there are many fashion brands that carry clothes THAT small for women hopping on the triple zero trend. Celebrity trainer James Duigan blames this gross new trend on the "selfie" generation. "The selfie craze in particular has intensified this, and celebrities know that if they post a picture of themselves looking skinny, with ribs on show, they'll get attention," he says. "But it isn't always real–sometimes they're breathing in and sometimes the angle makes them look thinner than they really are."
I can't even picture what a triple zero sized woman looks like. I probably think of a child which freaks me out knowing that women want to have the figure of one. It is frightening that we still can't accept our bodies and understand that we are all not meant to be that thin. Celebrities who appear that way are either suffering from a health condition or living an unhealthy lifestyle to be that skinny. In the long run it doesn't benefit anyone and instead could lead to lot of other health complications we can easily avoid.
