I'll bet if that woman didn't have a hot-looking face, you wouldn't have posted her pic, except as a put-down of obese women.

:
I actually never even looked at her face. Couldn't get past her body. Her face is fat too now that I looked. Itd be ok if she was 50lbs less but she's permanently destroyed her body. She will have an insane amount of loose skin if she she lost weight, so because of her choices she has permanently destroyed her body.

Is it wrong to call smoking gross or unhealthy?

Being obese shouldn't be different, especially because it's more likely to kill someone.

I'm not being harsh or critical. I'm being honest. Our country has a MAJOR problem that its obvious here that many are unable to recognize.

Instead of facing it they call it being judgmental of others and critisizing. Give me a break.

No, she won't. If she loses the weight gradually, and exercises (with weights) regularly, her skin will be fine. She's young, her skin has plenty of elasticity.

Furthermore, loose skin does not RUIN one's body unless one is a swimsuit model or a professional bodybuilder.

If so, there are a ton of "ruined" bodies in the world from bringing other humans into it.

You're right. It doesn't ruin it. But due to their lack of self control it does permanently cause irreversible aesthetic effects, depending how bad they let it go.

I'm sure its better than the alternative, but I'm sure theyd rather not have it..

This girl needed a tummy tuck to look nearly normal.. not cheap..

Dude, obsessed, much? Is this a thing with you? And you found 1 woman's blog, so now you're an expert? I knew a woman who gained a lot of weight from health issues, then lost it. She got up to around the size of that women in the swimsuit whose pic you posted. She looked slammin when she lost the weight, no tucks needed. She was really toned. Maybe the ability to bounce back like that is partly genetic, idk, but it was obvious she'd worked out a lot as part of her process.

What's up with so many dudes looking for excuses to diss women around here? Makeup, weight, number of bf's in their history, it's weird. Don't y'all like women? I'm too busy digging 'em to waste time searching out the internet for fat photos, tummy tuck photos (for real? lol), and other shyt. That's some hobby you got, there.

American? Sorry, didn't see any American women in the ad, or your link. And in fairness to the girl in your link, you could at least hide all of her churritos and get her to the gym. You got something to work with. But they're ain't no fixing that so-called "model".

What is most annoying about the gap ad is that this woman is the model for ALL of their different fits. She's "always skinny", "long and lean", she's "real straight" and she's also "curvy straight". Let me run out and get a pair!

Oh you knew one woman and all of a sudden you're the expert? Pot meet kettle.

And I don't hate women. I love them. In fact, there's even a recent makeup thread in this section where I specifically pointed out how great some women look without make up, typically dependent on some factors.

I'm not "bashing" women, I'm pointing out that far too many women (and men equally as much but thats not being discussed here) are overweight.

What really annoyed me in this thread is all the NEGATIVE comments about the woman in the add in the original post. I know many and have dated healthy women that eat a lot with builds similar to her. One girl I knew even had a kid. Just because she is thinner than the mold of the average US woman (which isn't hard) people talk crap about her here. It's pretty pathetic that people speak negatively of her when we are at the peak of a major obesity epidemic.

If you read my posts over this forum, I love women in general. Ive been on dates with hundreds and have many women that are super close friends, thin women and thicker. It's just annoying to see posters with skewed opinions of what is healthy and what is not, only furthering the problem we already have.

Yep I agree - you don't have to have a big bust and "padding" to be curvy, a small waist with a 10 to 12 inch increase in the hips/bust - that is curvy whether you are big busted or not. I don't associated curvy necessarily with busty and I don't think curvy means fat - fat is fat. Curvy = contour.
