Recently Kate Moss told interviewer Brid Costello that one of her mottoes is “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
My first reaction was to recite that to myself 800 times a day and see if it worked. I’ve been having a lot of trouble getting motivated to lose weight in the last couple of years. I thought maybe this would help.
Instead, it just made me realize how wrong she was. Here is a short list of reasons why Kate Moss is wrong.
- beer
- Doritos
- Pringles sour cream and onion chips
- bacon
- bagels
- a bloody mary
- macaroni and cheese
- foie gras
- french fries
- Anything from Five Guys
- brownies
- fresh strawberries
- cheese steak
- fried rice
- burritos
- beef stroganoff
- wine
- pizza
- fried chicken
See? Those are just off the top of my head. I didn’t even put any real thought in to that list. Just think if I had more time to expand!
Then I read this.
“Kate Moss’s comments are likely to cause many more. If you read any of the pro-anorexia websites, they go crazy for quotes like this.”
The slogan is adopted on various websites, including one called Starving For Control.
Green, 22, who is a size 12, added: “Millions of girls aspire to be like Kate Moss. These comments are shocking and irresponsible.”
Wait a second. Pro-Anorexia websites? There are multiple websites that support a disease?
What is this world coming to? Are there pro-polio websites? Are people hoping to successfully become alcoholics? Do we need websites to help us get sick?
Getting back to Kate’s motto, maybe I’m not the best judge of what being skinny feels like. The last time I was truly “skinny” I was recovering from mono, so to me skinny feels like a really bad sore throat and dying. I’m sure it feels different to her. Maybe to her it feels like millions of dollars.
I have no personal reference to how millions of dollars feels, but I bet it is pretty awesome.
It just seems to me like in this day and age (the day and age where I just became my grandmother by using that phrase) where even France has banned runway models that are too skinny and young girls are dying every day from anorexia we could try to promote more healthy concepts than “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”.
And in that top picture at least, skinny actually looks sort of painful.
I am trying to raise a daughter over here. I would love it if she can be spared the weight issues and self-esteem bullshit I have been dealing with since I was 12.

Yes, yes, and HOLY CRAP YES!
I would add: Chips and queso and guac, and fillet mignon and baked potatoes.

Haha, pro-anorexia websites!? Insane.
I agree about the painful comment. I think I’ll keep my ribs where no one can see them thanks!

Isn’t she the one who was busted for cocaine use a couple of years ago? It think that her real secret to staying slim.
Hugs!!
P.S. I have to ditto your list! You have great taste!!
December 14th, 2009 at 12:13 pm, Bozoette Mary Says:
That damn saying is an old Weight Watchers mantra, except with “being thin” instead of “skinny” (not that the wording makes a damn bit of difference). I hate it, because, well, ice cream! pie! steak and loaded baked potatoes! hot pretzels! half-smokes with chili! and everything on your list, too.
December 14th, 2009 at 12:20 pm, Beth Fish Says:
I think it makes sense in the original WW context, such as “that pint of ice cream does not taste as good as losing the extra pounds that are over-taking my heart or raising my blood pressure,” and it might be a fairly good motivation for some. But coming from a woman that thin? As in, I am pretty sure I can make out both her liver and spleen in that first picture? I am dedicating much of my life to keeping my daughter from hearing that message.
December 14th, 2009 at 12:22 pm, urbanvox Says:
I have to correct that…
“nothing feels as good as beating the crap out of stupid people that encourages anorexia like that”… willingly or not… I mean… come on!! how can someone thing that being famished, mal-nourished etc etc is sexy??? ugh!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 12:34 pm, ClumberKim Says:
I still hear it at WW meetings. And I still cringe.
December 14th, 2009 at 12:34 pm, Kate Says:
Okay, as the resident skinny bitch let me just say that Kate Moss is stupid, just plain stupid. At my scrawniest, I was 5′8″ and 97 pounds (but I was sick). My normal weight for years was 110 pounds. In the last couple years I have brought my weight to a whole 127 pounds. There are TONS of foods that taste better than skinny feels, ya know why? Because being skinny SUCKS ASS. It is not all it’s cracked up to be. Here’s why:
I can’t find pants that fit.
I can’t sleep because I can’t get comfortable with my bones sticking out and no cushion.
I get cold really easily.
I have no curves.
I make people ill when I wear a bathing suit.
People tell me to eat mayonnaise sandwiches all the time.
People automatically hate me.
People don’t believe the twins are mine.
Nobody wants to go to the gym with me.
Every guidance counseler I’ve ever had made me tell them multiple times I wasn’t anorexic.
Every doctor I’ve ever been to has diagnosed me as anorexic, no matter what was wrong with me.
I am definitely happier now that I’ve put on a little more weight. I know being overweight must suck too, but being super skinny is NOT the answer.
December 14th, 2009 at 12:38 pm, Kate Says:
Also if you want to come over for cheesecake, I made some. And it tastes a million times better than skinny feels.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:02 pm, cartoongoddess Says:
So following the Kate Moss example, my motto should be: “Everything tastes great and the bike is in the garage.”
Skinny is dumb. It makes your pants fall down. Moderation and sensible exercise are good.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:19 pm, Molly Chase Says:
Kate Moss has a 7-year-old daughter. Prior to reading this quote I wasn’t in any danger of mistaking her for parent of the year, but I wasn’t thinking she should be investigated by child protective services. Now I kind of am.
As far as I’m concerned there is no excuse for that kind of talk. Especially not from someone who’s had her kind of success in the business that she’s in. NONE.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:34 pm, js Says:
This makes me furious. Especially since, like you, I’m the mom of a little girl. My daughter is 8 and is already VERY concerned about weight/exercise/etc. I tried explaining to her that everyone has a different body and that that is what makes each person so special. I try my hardest to NEVER let her hear me say anything negative about myself. It’s hard, but I’m pretty good at it. My sister was over the other day and said “I love your pants! I wish I wasn’t fat so I could wear them!” My sister is FAR from fat at 5′6″ and 120lbs. I told her that “fat” is a bad word in my house.
The other day she came home and asked me to throw away all the junk food in the house (which there isn’t any of, save for a bag of baked chips and a box of crackers) because her Grandmother (not my mom) told her she would get fatter. That’s right, fat-ER. As in she just told her she was fat. I walked outside, called the woman and went apeshit on her. Then I explained to my daughter about making smart choices. Eating chips and crackers and candy all day every day? Not a good choice. Having a treat now and then, perfectly fine. And I make it a point when we exercise (I run, she rides her bike next to me) that I’m doing it to feel good, to be healthy, not to lose weight or get “skinny”.
How do we raise body healthy, confident girls in this day and age (hi, now I’m a grandma too!) when the girls that are the “role models” are rail thin and using stripper poles on stage?
December 14th, 2009 at 1:35 pm, Goddess in Progress Says:
You want to know what tastes better than skinny feels? My oatmeal-chocolate-chip-pecan-craisin cookies. Those things are freaking amazing.
And, yes, they do use that line at Weight Watchers. Which I always thought was totally unhelpful, since the last time I was skinny was the day I was born (and, even then, not too bad for a 34-weeker). I haven’t the faintest idea what skinny feels like. But I know what bacon tastes like. Bacon wins.
The pro-anorexia sites are seriously creepy. There’s message boards and all kinds of crap to give you tips on how best to starve yourself. Terrifying.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:41 pm, DC Sports Chick Says:
Kate Moss can SUCK IT. Can’t wait till she’s a miserable old bag. Whew, got that out of my system now!
The pro-anorexia websites are horrific and depressing. I hope and pray that my daughter never feels the need to go that route.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:43 pm, deb roby Says:
Yes, pro-ana sites are abundant. Check out “the red bracelet project” – they identify to each other by wearing red bracelets.
So glad I was skinny before all this stuff hit the fan. And the only thing that skinny tastes better than is liver and onions. Because I hate liver and onions.
Feeling strong enough to get your day without complaining KICKS ASS. Being able to fit into clothes FEELS WONDERFUL. Having enough energy to DANCE ALL NIGHT is heaven.
And eating enough energy to do all those things is priceless.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:01 pm, Heather Says:
Pro-polio…exactly. It’s so sad.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:03 pm, Papa Bradstein Says:
As the token male here, who is also trying to raise a daughter, I’d like to point out that not only do those photos look painful, they’re thoroughly unattractive. A large part of the reason they are is context–I know that she’d sooner snort her weight in blow than eat a decent meal or exercise regularly, and stupidity just isn’t attractive, no matter the package it arrives in.
Perhaps she would feel differently about skinny if she had to trade famous for skinny, as Jack Kerouac was willing to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwUP0YZbJRc
December 14th, 2009 at 2:16 pm, Issa Says:
Agree. Fully.
Gah, this bugs me so much. I don’t even think I can find words.
People die like that. Believing that being skinny is the only thing that matters. I knew a girl who believed that. Her heart just gave out one day. At 23 years old.
What Kate said is just so irresponsible. Then again, she looks like shit and does coke all the time…which makes it easier for her to not eat, I’m sure. It just sucks that kids look up to her. Oh look, I found words. ha.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:30 pm, PunditMom Says:
Disgusting, isn’t it? These sites, also referred to as “pro-ana” sites have been around for years. Just another reason to make sure we know what are kids are looking at on the internet.
And may I add homemade meatballs to your list?
December 14th, 2009 at 2:50 pm, Anon e mouse Says:
I completely agree with the entire post, and have seen up close and personal what this disease does to people…
But if your daughter EVER starts to quote Ms. Kate, you just have to remind her that Kate is British…and they are not known for their incredible food. (C’mon—when was the last time someone said “Hey, guys—let’s go out to that great British place for lunch”? Irish pub food, yes…Indian food, yes…Britain only colonized half the world in an attempt to get away from the mother’s or wife’s cooking)

I’m gonna go flippant on you because the outerage has been covered (ditto to that). I’m 5′10″, broad-shouldered, big-breasted, and of German heritage. I’m not sure if I have a serious weight problem or have just overly embraced my genetic potential. Regardless, I’d like to drop a few sizes since I still haven’t lost the baby weight from my last child who was born 2.5 years ago (ahem). I’m at a 16, I’d be healthier as a 10/12.
I mentioned to my business partner that I’m going to try to drop some weight. Kind of a “cool it with the cupcakes, cupcake” talk. Now she is much much smaller than me, though she is 5′6″. She has never approached my ideal weight, not even when 9 months pregnant. She gave me some advice:
“Once I felt like I should lose about 10 pounds, so I decided to stop eating whenever I wasn’t really enjoying the food any more. It came off in like a month. Ever since, I’ve made that my strategy. I only eat something if I really really enjoy it.”
I’m beginning to suspect that she and I are from different species. Because if *that* was my strategy, I’d be even heavier than I already am. I’ve been laughing about it for months.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:04 pm, Average Jane Says:
I’ve gained weight as I’ve gotten older and I can’t quite decide whether to struggle against it or learn to accept it. I’m certainly no heavier than anyone else in my family was at my age, so it’s not like it was a surprise lingering in my genetic makeup.
Last weekend my husband videotaped me singing with my band and I was torn between wishing I were less voluptuous and appreciating that I still looked good and had the energy I needed.
Sure, getting more exercise would be great for a variety of reasons, but I really don’t think that compromising on food is ever going to happen.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:10 pm, Meg Says:
My 13 year old niece, who is so cute it hurts,and of normal weight, ran by her mother and me after Thanksgiving dinner and said, I ate so much, I gotta get on the treadmill! As a mother of 3 boys, I have felt that way myself but don’t hear that from my kids. Her mom is puzzled about where she gets that, other than the obvious peer pressure factor. Her mom has also always struggled with her weight. I said, does she hear you complain about your own body? She said “yeah.” I said well, she picks up on that.
That SAID, I have something in common with the self-proclaimed skinny commenter above. I, too, can’t find any pants that fit. But for different reasons. Still, despite recent weight gain, I just can’t be bothered too much about it. I’m comfortable in my skin, I’m healthy, and except for the clothing issue. I’m not worryin’ about it. I like me.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:07 pm, Karen Sugarpants Says:
I knew about the pro-ana websites already. And I can think of a million things more tasty than bile. Ew.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:10 pm, Sara Says:
So did she make that comment before she puked, or after her last line of coke?
I hope she chokes on a Dorito.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:19 pm, Laurie Says:
I won’t jack your comments because I can write a book on this stuff and I said pretty much all I needed to say when I wrote last summer about the travesty that is that I Want to Save Your Life tv show, but I will say that the pro-ana sites are still one of the most frightening things I’ve seen in all of my years online and I’ve seen some frightening stuff on here.
Kate Moss believes that line to be true because she doesn’t eat. She is addicted to the way she is, I think, and it’s sad. And like you say, she’s been externally rewarded for it.
I love food and because of my body type I will never, ever, ever be thin. I never have been and I never will be. The most I can hope to achieve is to get to a weight where I can look at myself, face and body, and not hate myself because of the way I look, because I need to get to that place or I’m just not comfortable. Right or wrong, I’m just not. I don’t know where I got the message that I was less-than because of my body and not the other stuff I have going for me, but it happened somewhere around the 6th grade and it is the major daily conflict of my life.
And a world without wine, beer and fried chicken will just never make sense to me, so the best I can do is strive for balance – which, you know, I kind of hate striving for, can’t lie.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:21 pm, Tammy Says:
Yes, the first picture looks painful. In the second picture, I think she is leaning backwards because he head is way to heavy for her skinny body to hold up. I’d rather eat and be able to hold my own head up.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:24 pm, Andrea Says:
Don’t think someone who was using coke is allowed to discuss how to stay thin. Also, the epitome of “heroin chic” is not thin, it is fashioned after looking like near death…not a good look.
My guess is she was just saying she doesn’t eat food that is not healthy in an attempt to be thin but this was not her best work.

Cheesecake tastes better than skinny feels. Also steak, mashed potatoes, loaded baked potatoes, brownies, Godiva chocolate, Hershey’s chocolate, and ice cream.
Also, Kate Moss needs to shut her mouth before she harms already sick people. Ugh!

I don’t know how skinny feels, but I’m guessing it feels like when I haven’t eaten in like..hours. I guess I’d call it hunger. In fact, I’m hungry now.
Craving a churro. So, I guess Churro’s taste better than skinny feels.

I’m 5′9″, 145 pounds and have three little girls. I have hips, thighs, stretch marks and a butt that is losing the fight to gravity. But for now, I’m strong. I can run and jump and bike with my kids. I haul groceries and wood and can show my girls that real women eat real food and make choices (Special K for breakfast= five guys for lunch!). I have a few curves that I don’t love, but I’m healthy. Suppose it also helps that their dad is a wonderful, affectionate man who tells me and his daughters how beautiful we are. Every day. That feels a hell of a lot better than hungry and skinny.
December 14th, 2009 at 7:54 pm, Cara Says:
What’s even worse is that often as not the pictures we’re looking at aren’t even real. They’ve been tweaked and photoshopped to make the already too skinny girls/women look even skinnier.
How do we get back to the Marilyn Monroe era?
December 14th, 2009 at 8:03 pm, ali Says:
I don’t understand people like Kate Moss. As someone who spent several years dancing around the word “eating disorder” I know very well that anorexia is a DISEASE. and when you have a disease like this that fucks with your brain…you don’t go around saying things like this. It’s something you don’t EVER want to talk about. Your motto would never be something like this.
it would be more like, “SEE? I totally eat pizza!” while not eating anything else but that one slice of pizza all day.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:11 pm, Mom101 Says:
On one hand, I love you.
On the other, I’m really annoyed that now I want Five Guys but it’s take-out only and the girls are in PJs so I can’t get any. Grrr.
December 14th, 2009 at 8:50 pm, Kathi D Says:
I wonder if there is any hope for girls and young women to avoid being crazy about weight. The pressure is everywhere and it’s tough to fight it. I really believe that all the dieting and stressing over weight is what causes overweight in the long run.
Even Weight Watchers, where I first heard this quote, sends mixed messages. They SAY it’s all about health and following the plan and not over-focusing on the scale, yet they weigh you in first thing every week and your success or failure hinges on that “unimportant” number.
December 14th, 2009 at 10:40 pm, Liz@thisfullhouse Says:
Unfortunately, this is the sort of bullshit that makes me puke and not in a “Because, I want to be skinny,” sort of way, either.
Skinny has been around forever and I’m not sure if it will ever go away, forever.
Except, raising 3 girls, maybe in my house DAMMIT!

I’ve heard that before and just like you, when I tried telling myself that, it instantly started a list of yummy things running through my thoughts. It definately doesn’t work. At least not for me. Going by your list, somewhere between beer and doritos I opened my eyes and found myself in the refrigerator.

I am as alarmed as you are over the fact that there are pro-anorexia support groups, but I do have to agree with one point – Mono was SUCH a good diet.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:26 am, Nat Says:
I am not skinny chick, I never will be. But I did lose a lot of fat a while back and while I noticed something rather counter intuitive, The Man (my paraspouse) is much more attentive when I’m not such a hard body. (He’s never said anything.) In general, I get a lot more attention when I’m not in the starving end of the spectrum…
Great post. Pizza, pizza definitely tastes better than skinny feels.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:29 am, Vicky Says:
And it doesn’t matter what size you are either. As a small girl, even when I was a size zero in college I was told I needed more muscle- I was weak.
When you gain weight from muscle or having kids people from your past say, “Oh remember how tiny you used to be?” Like they regret it all for you. It’s so effed up!
For me, I may not always be happy internally in my own mind, which is frustrating enough, but I tell my daughters that I go to the gym to be healthy and strong. Over the years it really has helped me change the way I think and view myself.
Instead of Moss’s motto, how about- “I workout to be healthy and strong. If you have your health, you have so much.” Or something.
Also- marshmallows, Skor bars, brie, extra cheese pizza, potato chips with onion dip, Espresso Truffles, caramel, cookies and so much more!!! COTTON CANDY! Eat that Kate Moss!
December 15th, 2009 at 1:49 pm, April Says:
I want to bitch slap her, and take her daughter away so that she isn’t exposed to the mental illness that her mother has.
I want to be healthy. Right now, I am not. I’m about 70 pounds away from healthy. But I don’t starve myself. I eat when hungry, I just make better food choices. I’m down 23 pounds in about 6 weeks, so I’m well on my way to healthy.
December 15th, 2009 at 2:42 pm, Lori Says:
I could support “nothing tastes as good as being healthy” but you know that would get warped somehow. And, I would die w/o chocolate ice cream, cheesecake, steak, loaded baked potato, cheese, pizza, Mexican food, etc.

I shall repeat her quote each time I have a piece of British candy. I wonder, though, if she thinks coke doesn’t taste better than skinny? And, of course, I mean the coke she puts up her skinny nose, may it eventually be rebuilt.

Thank you for your sanity. While I am rather far removed from being a teenager, I still vividly remember the pressure and misinformation that was so rampant throughout those years. Hopefully we can educate our daughters such that they do not desire to follow the examples set by Kate Moss and other unhealthy professional models.

as a side note, it doesn’t surprise me that that there are pro-anorexia web sites, because I know there are pro-suicide sites. I know a woman whose son spent a lot of time talking with others about depression and suicide before he killed himself. It is horrifying.

I would add to that list to but also I’ve been skinny and I know how my body feels now compared to how it felt then and I love my body!!
But first let me say I appreciate women of all sizes but being healthy is being healthy – and being underweight is just as unhealthy as being overweight.
(also I think s3x is better with curves -all women are beautiful but when I was skinny in HS & college I swear I looked like a boy with long hair, no one would think that now!!)
Oh, now you’ve got me thinking of preggo s3x -talk about curves!
I better shut up now….
December 16th, 2009 at 3:04 pm, Kristabella Says:
Like someone mentioned, this is like a Weight Watchers slogan. And I agree to a certain extent. I mean, sometimes, you indulge in something and then it tastes like shit and you’re like “my pants being tighter were SO not worth that!”
But I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older that it is OK to eat pizza and nachos and drink beer every now and then. So what if I’m a little heavier. At least I’m HAPPY!
December 16th, 2009 at 3:07 pm, Kate Says:
I suspect Kate Moss’ diet of Diet Coke and cocaine doesn’t taste that good. Perhaps she would rethink her statement if she ate Double Stuf Oreos more often.
Anyway, I am fascinated by Moss’ ability to polarize people. Some absolutely adore her. Others loathe her. A while back, when it was rumored she might be co-authoring a cookbook, I wrote a post about what a terrible idea that would be. Comments ranged, but several hateful trolls wrote in to say I was probably fat and bitter and that’s why I was bashing on Kate. Apparently the fact that she’s hardly an expert on Jewish cooking had nothing to do with it.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:42 pm, Papa K Says:
I personally like a little meat on the bones… skinny is so 90’s.
December 17th, 2009 at 9:34 am, Deb on the Rocks Says:
This post rocks. I have no idea what skinny feels like, but I love your list. I was pre-mature, so I was skinny at birth, but then an overcooked job in a incubator plus high cal formula took care of that I no one has seen bones since. The real bitch is that even when I used a hundred bucks of cocaine most days during a period in the 80s, I never got below a size 12. I felt awesome though. Invincible, actually. So, maybe the motto is nothing looks as good as cocaine feels. Don’t tell that to the kiddies, though. Cheese steak is a damn close second. Or birthday cake. Happy birthday baby!
December 17th, 2009 at 7:16 pm, Mad Woman Says:
I know one thing that tastes as good as skinny feels. At least as far as Kate Moss is concerned. COCAINE. Didn’t this chick have a drug problem?
She’s a tool.
How the hell am I supposed to raise a daughter with good self esteem when there are people like her making statements like that?!
December 18th, 2009 at 11:20 am, Hannah Says:
I don’t think idiotic models like Moss should be given a microphone. (Isn’t she the same chick who did cocaine on a sidewalk?)
Y’know what feels better than having your bones sticking out/neverending plastic surgery? Being healthy and proud of your God-given natural shape!

Lol..I meant hummus..Food is meant to be enjoyed with friends and family, not feared. I hope my next baby is a girl, but damn, I’m not excited about the whole body issue issue.

Yeah, she WOULD say that. But then again, when you’re on a heroin and coke diet, what the fuck do you actually taste? Your own saliva? I mean…didn’t she date Pete Doherty? I don’t particularly trust her taste in food OR men. Ick.
