The dynamics of weight change among well-known women are monitored similarly to stock markets. This comparison arises from the fact that, in their professions, their bodies symbolize their brand and value. Just as stocks are bought and sold based on fluctuating prices, these women's appearances often determine their market appeal and professional worth.

Roxane Gay’s book, "Hunger," highlights how societal pressures and expectations lead to constant scrutiny of women's bodies. This phenomenon reflects a broader issue where physical appearance directly impacts a woman's career and public perception, illustrating the unrelenting demands placed on women to maintain an idealized image.
