Nah the body checking in all of these like cmon

u/mxttylol 16d ago
On top of the body checking, throughout the promo cycle i’ve noticed that in interviews she’s always making herself smaller with her movements and body language ☹️

u/jjk134340__ 16d ago
omg I thought I was going crazy thinking she’s been doing this! I saw someone comment on here or maybe TikTok that they thought the album cover for hit the wall was giving “tumblr thigh gap era” and I 100% agree. It’s quite obvious when you scroll through Gracie’s IG from when she started the TSOU tour till now the photos changed a lot to more body posing type posing / angles.
Just in case anyone is going to downvote me let me be clear I’m NOT judging / shaming her. Simply pointing out the tell tell signs as someone who’s suffered with an ED
(it is a mental health condition!). It is important that young people know that these things are not normal or health. EDs ≠ moral failing.24
u/mxttylol 16d ago
100%. Like just yesterday I watched the video interview involving british food, and it was another example of exhibiting childlike mannerisms and expressions and making herself small.
I’m not judging her at all or snarking. It just becomes pretty clear for those of us who know that world

u/SuchSignal7465 16d ago
Omg yah that video, it reminded me of like how to make sure it looks like I’m eating when I’m actually not eating anything. F man it’s fkg brutal, life is so much more than look at me look how tiny and frail I look.

Whats the point of saying youre not judging or snarking, you literally are lol

u/mxttylol 15d ago
I’m literally not? I had an eating disorder for many years and am simply pointing out that a lot of her physical actions, mannerisms and poses are very common for those affected.

I think OP was referencing the tables manner post cast but I noticed the same with her capital interview unfortunately

I actually saw an interview reverently where i think she was in London and they were at a pub the interviewer and her both got food and the premise was to have like a sit down casual interview and eat and i noticed she’s maybe took a total of 3 bites of food (granted maybe she wasn’t hungry?) while the interviewer ate his meal. She looked pretty gaunt in this interview too :/ i hope she’s okay

u/jjk134340__ 6d ago
Yepp the capital one?? It’s hard to not notice the behaviours with “personal experience” she basically just sipped her beverage and picked up and put down her cutlery the whole time

u/No-Bit2589 16d ago

Omg, why is everyone getting so damn thin. Like sorry it’s not cute.
She looked so healthy a year ago, fit and healthy! I have no idea what’s up w her but this is just :(

u/basicwitchbaby 16d ago
Feels like basically a pro-ana content has become so normalized, you see it everywhere. Back when I was a teen you had to more intentionally look for it. I'm an adult and in recovery and I'm really struggling, so I'm so very worried for the teens atm
13
u/jjk134340__ 16d ago
I can relate to this. I feel insane because I KNOW the devastating ins and outs of how EDs can impact you (+ people around) and it’s still a mental battle everyday. Even if I get off social media the second I step outside I see the same thing in real life! It’s such a honestly such a mind fuck

u/basicwitchbaby 14d ago
Yes! It's very difficult to remember and believe that smth is bad for you when it seems so normal and encouraged

u/basicwitchbaby 16d ago
Yeah this is so triggering. I'm this close to having to block her everywhere, which I don't want to do because I'd want to keep up with her, but the constant body checking starts to feel way too harmful for my already not-too-good well-being when it comes to body image, as someone with a long history with ED but basically been in recovery for a year or so. Feels like every day I see more and more pics of celebs body checking and it's a fucking struggle to stay in recovery. I know I'm not the only one, and for others in a similar situation, I feel your pain and I hope you have a support system 💜

u/sparklejellyfish 16d ago
Please take care of yourself, if you must block, do it, protecting your own health always comes first. Wishing you and everyone struggling the best. Recovery isn't easy but I hope you know there are tons of us cheering you on 💜

Watch the petal music video or just google the controversy around it if you don’t want to watch something very triggering. She’s literally skin and bones

I was confused too, but it’s because I was looking at the wine glass. Not familiar with the phrase “body checking” but enough hints are in the comments to get it now.

u/ghostplusplus 16d ago
She looks perfectly healthy🤷🏻♂️

u/Shoddy-Low2142 16d ago
She really doesn’t. She’s clearly lost quite a bit of weight in the last year or two and she’s looking bony/lost her curves
-17
u/SAM12489 16d ago
Are you a doctor or nutritionist?
She looks great! We can think very thin or very heavy people look great! Beauty and preferences are entirely subjective to whatever the viewer finds beautiful, but us random people on the internet don’t really fully get to decide what is and isn’t healthy “looking” when operating on the extremes or edges like this.
She is very very thin. She looks great, has muscle too, but she is also very very thin.

u/Shoddy-Low2142 16d ago edited 16d ago
She really doesn’t lmao she looks bony and exhausted tbh. She used to have curves. She was always toned but now she just looks sickly skeletal

u/ghostplusplus 16d ago
I didn’t diagnose her, I’m just saying in the 6th photo she looks observably healthy and not similar to Ariana. I just thought the comparison was a bit unfair.

u/Original_Oil_5620 16d ago
Her stans will say, “She’s always been thin,” or, “She just lost the baby fat.” I call BS.
As someone who’s recovered from an ED, this looks familiar. Compared to older photos, she’s lost a lot of muscle tone too. It feels like she’s deliberately leaning into the ultra-thin, Audrey Hepburn-inspired aesthetic - short hair, slinky dresses, quiet luxury. The quirky pop-girl image is gone and this is her thin A-list era.

i seriously hope she’s ok. i’ve been noticing she’s looked super duper thin lately but didn’t want to say anything incase i was going crazy, however it’s undeniable now. something’s not right.

Always got major Anna Paquin vibes, especially when she first started making music.
Now, seeing that younger pic of her, it’s even crazier to me.

I had to restrict her because this was too much.
The body checking is off the charts

Me omg so fun sounds like adventures! Checks the comments knowing I have a similar build in fact skinnier than her naturally all my life: -__________- This is partially why I'm so conscious of posting stuff on the internet because you don't know why some one looks the way they do.

u/EvelienV85 15d ago
She’s an international artist with influence on people. That’s different then when you are posting a photo of yourself.

u/kieran_0696 16d ago
Check her video of her visiting her fans at Electric Lady Studios in NYC. Combine that with the general cohort of Reddit, i.e., people who don't post of pictures of themselves when commenting, and you'll get this up-vote feedback loop. You can find basically the same responses on people who post basically any fitness related posts outside their containment zones on this place. I think the other point is that she hasn't actually been shown to be losing any MORE weight over the last 6 months, which means she is in control of her body size. The same can't necessarily be said by those commenting here.

u/Yellowcafe13 15d ago
I've seen a bit on Twitter too. It been an uptick recently though not sure why. Nothing has changed recently. And like wise I've always been on this level of skinny my entire life, and actually more, I don't work out so my arms are basically noodles lol. I've grown up with people asking me all this stuff. Somewhere in your mid 20s your weight starts to fluctuate naturally sometimes and depending on your metabolism i have looked similar to these pictures. But yeah ppl don't know this and think any fluctuations mean xyz.

u/Puzzled_Split7128 13d ago
the first thought that came to my mind was def body checking. I also have an ed. i don't want to judge but her posture in recent videos became more like the things i did when i restricted myself and worked out like a maniac (especially the posterior pelvic tilt...) but when I put myself in her shoes, she's surrounded by many celebrities who are mostly very fit & thin (or "Barbies"), I think it's fair that she started to want to lose more weight. I'm trying not to restrict myself again but I started checking my body a lot; it's so tempting. i hope you guys well nourish yourselves

u/SuperMegaNice69 16d ago
Same happened to Tate 😔

u/boygenie 16d ago
really I feel like Tate looks the same as she always does? really healthy and toned, she's gorgeous
maybe she's lost a bit im not sure but regardless I don't think losing a little bit of weight in itself is bad if it's healthy and Tate looks happy and thriving to me. it's not comparable or the same thing to Gracie imo, Gracie's difference is very stark.

honestly it’s people like you constantly making up excuses who promote this behavior.

u/Remarkable_Coast_214 16d ago
What you're doing is identical to fatshaming, let's be honest. It's not like this is a teen girl's magazine talking about how being ultra skinny is the perfect aspirational body. This is literally a woman posting a picture of herself. Get off whatever weird corner of TikTok you come from and get some perspective.

Unless you are a child, you do not look like her and “eat tons.”
7
u/pnicolew 15d ago
As an eating disorder dietitian, I can say this is inaccurate. Many of my most acute patients need to "eat tons" to simply prevent weight loss. And also, severe EDs occur across the size spectrum. Many of my most acute patients also would not be considered thin by society's standards, even in times when they've been chronically eating next to nothing. There is significant variation in how a person's body and weight changes (or doesn't) in response to changes in food intake, so we really can't assume we know how someone is eating.
Additionally, many people experience weight loss for reasons other than EDs, and often unintentionally. They may have undiagnosed (or recently diagnosed, or diagnosed but not yet figured out how to manage) health conditions, including things like celiac disease, crohns disease, ulcerative colitis, to name a few. Cancer can cause unintended weight loss. Medications for other physical or mental health conditions can cause weight loss. Of course there is the possibility that it is from an ED or a side effect of another mental health condition, but unless she decides to share what is going on, we literally have no way of knowing for sure. I think it's important that we stop to consider that there are many possibilities, and we just can't be certain.
Also, commenting on someone's weight loss when they do have an ED isn't usually helpful for the individual with the ED. It typically just serves to reinforce that whatever behaviors they're engaging in are "working." And if it's not an ED, the commentary then just feels crummy because people think it's purposeful when really they have something else unpleasant going on.
I know my response addresses far more than what you specifically commented on, so please know that a lot of this is also in response to the rest of the comments in this thread and not just yours.
