this is me last summer...
i'm posting it because i need the motivation...to stop eating crap! i know i'll never be a waif, but this smaller curvy size suits me better than where my body is and naturally likes to hover.. got some working out to gets on...do so miss my private yoga classes, (cue bougie worlds smallest violin)
is it silly to still wanna look your best, even tho ones over the age America deems valuable, which is like 25 or so.... i don't think so...the french woman wear life well... and for me i guess, as an actor the body is the instrument...
and along my journey there's plenty of jobs my ass has legitimately been too big for the ideal...blame lies some where between my own self sabotage & oprah style eating, as much as Hollywoods desire for women to have bodies of teen boy... but i guess we should leave that topic for another time, don't you think? x RT ps that's what real boobs look like LA dudes...

You have some serious boobage going on there.
ReplyDeleteOh Rachel, I'm sure your body looks just as good now as it did then. Girl, if I had your flat stomach it owuld be on wooo-hooo (got the REAL boobies already lol.). Hey, do what makes YOU happy cause we gonna still be cool! I signed anonymous, but I am really one of your myspace friends! (~_~)Bye!
ReplyDeleteI HATE TYPOS urghhhh I meant WOULD (third line, girly!) Sorry!
ReplyDeleteYour body is beautiful.
ReplyDeletei have two suggestions: 1)start a workout-only blog. it has a weird way of keeping you accountable. i have one, and folks bug me when i don't update it. 2) swim. it does wonders for helping you lose weight..
ReplyDeleteYou already know that you look great in this picture. And I understand that, as an actress, your body is your instrument & the camera adds 10 lbs. (at least). Because of your profession, you have greater demands on your appearance. Aside from that, I agree that age and body type expectations in the US are out of touch with reality. Women and men generally feel better when they take care of themselves to remain in good health. Beyond that, every body type can be beautiful. Some of the sexiest, most beautiful women I've met don't fit anywhere close to what mass media would suggest looks good. Yet, they are completely and truly themselves - which is not just sexy, it's electric.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I don't have a google acct, yet. I found this blog bcz I am a fellow twitterer.
/weeps
ReplyDeleteDon't you dare change a thing.
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYour body - bigger or smaller is STILL fine. Men like curves, trust!
And thank you for not giving into fake boobs. lol.
Mal
She loves 'er guns.
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I can only wish I could look that good! I don't even wanna know what size you wear! Oh, and cute swimsuit, by the way! :)
But no, it's not silly to want to look good; It's healthy to want that body, mind, spirit unity!
I read somewhere on Twitter today that "Exercise is king. Nutrion is queen. Put them together and you have a kingdom." Now isn't that a great quote! If only I would listen. lol :)
Geesssh, Rachel... shave your pits!
ReplyDeleteyour body is crazy! I love it. And that bathing suit "suites" you. You look good.
ReplyDeleteI don't get you. One minute you're crying loudly about people sending you penis pictures and married men hitting hard on you and people making sexual advances at you. HOWEVER, here you are now, flaunting photos of your semi-naked body, talking about your breasts, looking for sexual attention, knowing that there will be so many crass, explicit comments. Are you an undercover freak. This soooo hypocritical. Were you phony then, or are you phony now? Just wondering?
ReplyDeleteEdwin H from myspace
Come on Rachel,you know your hot as hell,an i don't know why a guy would want unreal breasts,man they be looking all hard,an like they are going to pop are something....CRAZY!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this pic,an i don't see nothing bad with a woman that's a little juicy....i think you need to stay away from the Cigarettes more then the food QUEEN OF SEXY!
edwin, i'm sorry you feel that way. maybe if you read the blog above pic you'd have better understanding of me & women in general.
ReplyDeleteyou sound a little bitter man, like i f'd your best friend instead of you... stop the hate, lol. one love- true
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteIgnore Edwin. It's your blog, your space to express your feelings, thoughts, fears, and dreams.
nice pic...perfect breasts. (unmarried, uncrass, non-explicit, no penis pic, so edwin was wrong i guess)
ReplyDeletethere's more provocative images on tv ads... again the point (especially for women) is how we feel about our bodies, as we grow mentally and age...yet still remain ourselves.... and NOOOOO, my stomach is not that flat now, why i needed to tangibly see what my mind and body can do, when i commit...to working out... blah.
ReplyDeletecute suit!!
ReplyDeleteyou tell em rachel!!!
ReplyDeleteCome on Ms. True:
ReplyDeleteis this some kind of "validation" thing? You know you look good. Do you think you'd find debate here among "the choir" and Rachel admirers (of which I count myself among).
(And abusive personatlities like Edwin don't count.)
Your line about Self sabotage was right. Also Hollywood, media and magazines aren't to blame for any girls "self image". If "we" didn't want to see rail thin with two basketballs on the chest, then "they" wouldn't give it to us.
Most of the consumers in this country are overweight, yet overwieght women watch the TV shows, movies or buy the magazines with the "Ken and Barbie" looking folks. The so called "victims" are spending their time watching Gossip Girl, S&TC, buying Cosmo, Black Actress or whatever. The girls are the ones to blame if they didn't buy it, it wouldn't exist.
And in your case, you really can't complain. Even the harshest of critics, Ms. Holly Wood, is saying "You Good, Rachel." Not only do you get movie and TV roles, Half and Half cast you as a 20 something, when you were a couple of years older than that. Before that, you were constantly cast as a teenager when you were in your late 20s.
If you fine and you know it clap your hands (Rachel: "clap clap")
Peace
Like a friend of mine says: "I do me and you do you". Of course, that's easy for us to say. You, on the other hand, have a different situation. Your job requires you to be what other people desire. Obviously, each desire depends on the role. However, that desire doesn't always seem realistic to the average audience. I always wonder about that. If I can offer anything, it would be for you to be comfortable with yourself. If you want to sculpt your body, then do it. Regardless, do what feels right for you. No matter what others say, you must feel right for you.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best in what YOU want. If any of the real Rachel True makes it through into your roles....all I can say is....WOW! You have a fascinating soul.
Peace.
I don't give a f*** but, having girls look like little boys is some gay shit to me & I don't get down like that. No offense.
ReplyDeleteTo Edwin:Rachel is not being hypocritical....She is being a Scorpio!
ReplyDeleteI applaud your GOAL of getting body back or keeping it...in shape. If you want some inspiration; check out my blog. You can set a goal Publicly...and blog about your progress (or lack of-smile)

D Toolz is a tool. Make his hair fall out Rach.
ReplyDeleteNo complaints from this Choir Member either. Express yourself, any way you wish Ms. True. That's one of the things I ( and thousands of others) like most about you .
ReplyDeletePeace and Love
I said before,and I'll say it again-You are a beautiful person inside and out.
ReplyDeletelove the bathing suit. where'd you get it?
ReplyDeleteHey Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI always used to run into your work through movies and television (loved you in Half & Half) and I must say I've always admired your original style and natural beauty. You look great and alive as a person. Keep up the positivity, good work, and remain true to yourself. Dont let that industry you work in skew your vision on life. :-)
masterpiece. two thumbs up
ReplyDeleteYou are cool and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh man, if only you could see what this pic is doing to me (or what I'm doing to this pic?) - oh wait, you can, let me get my camera...
ReplyDelete.

Wow, the twins are in place, the tummy tight. I think this pic deserves a HURCULEEEEZ! HURCULEEEEZ! lol. Put this pic on your refrigerator, this the money shot right here.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the last natural stunning beauties left in the world. To me you always look your best no matter how you look...I hope that made some kind of sense or i'm gonna sound pretty retarded *LOL*
ReplyDeleteI saw the finger picture and wondered what I missed.
ReplyDeleteEating more raw foods, running, and weights is what works for me. Can't run with the extra pounds, and I love running.
Book rec: The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel. Its a non-diet approach to weight loss/ management. Think of your favorite food with maggots!!! Check it out. http://www.gabrielmethod.com/
ReplyDeleteYou're from NY, I don't see how Dave Chappelle could have even made this skit (http://twirl.at/wj) without you.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is her name. Love it.
first off to address edwin h,she's a grown women,its not shes completely nude,so you have no right to make her seem like shes a hypocrite,if you read her message and understand you wouldnt have said what you did. all women have to right to express theirselves,and also I would like to say rachel I will love you no matter how your body turns out to be!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the necklace from?
ReplyDeleteis that a thong i hope it is...
ReplyDeletebut really, very nice and cute. I used to watch half and half ONLY for you.
