Schemer Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 How on Earth is anxiety disorder not a mental issue? It affected her daily life. She was having stomach aches and panic attacks, going to doctor from 7th grade and they didn't find what's causing her issues. Only in college she got diagnosed with severe anxiety. They gave her Lexapro for anxiety and mild depression and during that time she gained 20 pounds. She got off Lexapro and lost weight but still has panic attacks. Did you even watch her video? She even says that her issue has held her back from many opportunities in life. It's clear that it has a negative effect on her. Quote
barbarapalvinscomeback Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I'm glad she's battled her demons and is doing better for herself now than before Quote
elfstone Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Alex consciously worked her butt off to lose all that weight y'all. I can certainly recall how glad it made some BZ members cause they thought she would be booking more work, which didnt happen. Now the same folks want everyone to believe she became like this cause she's been off her meds??? Quote
Limerlight Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Just wanna leave these boobs here... Quote

*Luna* Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Found her channel on Youtube a couple of days ago and then I checked out some of her work... Lovely girl and I personally think she looks great either way (curvier/more slim). I don't get the whole fuss/discussion that seems to happen every few pages here about her weight loss. Quote
Limerlight Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 TLDR (from what I gathered, since I don't come here much no more): Came out with amazing wonderful Kate Upton esque look/ wonderful chest, face & body combo, people thought she would take off possibly replace or compete against Kate, get a lot of gigs. Big breasts, blonde blue eyes hit a lot of the check marks similar to when Kate exploded on the scene and people went crazy for her (SI helped) Got some gigs, mainstream wave started happening Gigs did not happen as much as people thought based off a few that she got, people still really loved her, like your favourite cult/semi famous band. Mainstream wave fell Transformation started, people again expected more gigs after the transformation (this is what I'm calling it.) I've seen some of the curvier models (Jessica Gomes for example) hard to get some work at their curviest transform a bit and sometimes more work Gigs still not happening like people thought they would (see bullet point 3), fan base split/some upset/some hating/some loving it/some shocked at new look. This is when the discussion on "weight/size" on BZ started picking up Now there's a flux of people that like her pre-transformation (see Limer), people that like her post transformation & other's that still see her as beautiful either way. There's no wrong answer here Just a lot of people remembering/knowing what they like of Alex and wanting that The only common denominator is everyone thought regardless of how she looked, when people became a fan they thought she would get more work, and it's not happening to the extent that the potential was thought there of. So take BZ as example, people really at the end of it all just want her to work more regardless there was/is a ton of potential for her. I like her burst on the scene look more of Alex and more than Kate when she busted on the scene due to the gentler rounder face and the more approachable kinda girl next door look vs (again) Kate, I remember The Chive having a wonderful gallery on her and her bustiness . To me at least that's all it is, if she was working a bit more getting gigs and shoots and everything people thought, there'd still be the Old looks vs New look debate on here but not every page or two it would be more accepting overall because she's getting more work/more mainstream attention. Personally: I'm just shocked at the difference of where she was when we first saw her to now, it's night and day if it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't know it was the same person to me it's really that different. People gonna have different thoughts on the whole matter but hopefully it's at least a C- breakdown Quote
*Luna* Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 @Limerlight I get what you're saying and agree, but there's only so many times someone can mention "did she loose weight? if she did then why? why isn't she curvy anymore?" Repeating those things isn't going to change the fact that she doesn't get as many gigs are expected/as much as people were hoping for. Why not focus on the now and appreciate what she is doing at this moment, not what she was doing 3 years ago and how she looked then? Quote

Limerlight Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Plus in the babs thread if you say that one hair is out of place they will come after you as if you deeply offended them and will take you down Candice thread similar & Whatever Alex does she does What matters is personal feeling, if she likes how she looks that's great good for her that's what really matters, but the posts here will still happen because this is BZ and there are many strong opinionated members.

There's only so many gym selfies we can ooh and ahh over before they become redundant and boring. And if she's truly happy with her weight why does she always look so damn miserable? Oh, as for her not getting booked when she was curvier with SI even though she went to castings. That is primarily because SI was still riding the wave of Kate Upton and they were concerned if they put two girls with similar body types and the blonde hair/blue eyes that it would confuse their audiences. Not because they didn't want her, they were hoping to bank on her when Kate's train derailed, which it did. Unfortunately Alex's train ended before Kate's run did. Quote

And if she's truly happy with her weight why does she always look so damn miserable? Right, and having the same discussion about her weight on pretty much every new page doesn't get redundant and is not boring at all. And who are we to decide if she is happy looking or not? Not everyone feels the need to constantly tell the whole world (or show) how extremely happy they are. I definitely wouldn't call her miserable looking, serious? Yes. Some people don't walk around 24/7 flashing their pearly white teeth to prove the whole world that everything is peachy and life is just grand. Quote
phenobarbie Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 True some people don't feel the need to go around smiling all the time. However her previous selfies and candids showcased a much happier persona. The sad reality is she deleted much of her earlier Instagram posts where she was curvier and seemingly happier. You can take that however you want. I however don't have the time, patience or sanity to deal with white knights. So have a great day regardless. Quote
Stromboli1 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I was a fan of thick & curvy Alex, but I like fit Alex's face better. Quote
