# Tyra Banks Talks about Being Fat

Tyra Banks is publicly talking about her recent weight gain (she's 5'10" and currently weighs 161 lbs), and tells [People](https://people.com/health/cover-story-tyra-banks-speaks-out-about-her-weight/) magazine:

"I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like? I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the [muffin top](https://allwomenstalk.com/de/4f3bba739d2f6889de3d867f/), that's when I say, 'Damn!' I feel more comfortable when I'm lighter - I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better. I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that? If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there - the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those (horrible) things."

Being fat is cool if you're a sumo wrestler or a circus freak or a hot dog eating champion, but usually it's just gross. I'm not saying fat people can't be sexy, they just have to be clever about it. You know, like printing out a full sized poster of a supermodel and taping it to their neck. Or getting everybody in the world drunk. Or not being fat.
