Honestly I think we just SEE fat that is there because we are not that heavy. I am assuming from the other posters history that she is not.
I will never advocate unhealthy weights on either side of the spectrum. If a woman truly loves her body she does not treat it like a dumpster. I just really hate the "unhealthy fat embrace" movement that is ever so popular these days.

Its selling people a lie and also slamming those who are the "ideal".
Its not a movement of love or education. Its just a big pile of PC BS.
You're presuming that somebody overeats and plans the process of getting overweight and fat.

I walked by Crumbs two days ago and was like what the eff, entered and got me a cupcake. It was 600 calories. There were a lot of girls inside, I don't know what women's obsession is with cupcakes and cookies. None of them were too heavy. They were all normal sized, but I assume you would definitely consider them fat/unhealthy. Hey, I bash fatties too, when the antagonist in me rises up. But let's just say for argument sake that being overweight is natural.

To get in shape, it's hard work, time and dedication and not everyone has the mental capacity and focus to make it a priority. I assume these women work long hours and simply stop by the cupcake place on the way home. I go to KFC once in a while too. But I make up becoz I can and I want to. It's a personal preference.

So it's not like body is getting treated like a dumpster.

Of course, you are real. But try becoming a model for VS for example. Take $hit and whippings from producers, gay fashion experts, photographers and etc., that's a job nobody will sign up for..... they do for the money, but when they are alone in their model flat, they will be found crying, drugging and talking to a shrink becoz their job is to look good for others, their diet is determined by others and lot of other surgical enhancements dictated by the system that mass produces them. Those smiling faces on the magazines are FAKE. It's like a clown. Laughing outside and crying inside.

You're talking about women who look good becoz it's their JOB. They are not doing it for free. However, girls on the road have other jobs. They don't get paid to look good. That's why it's so hard to stay in shape. And that's what I meant by time and dedication.

Well I know why you go to KFC...for the taste of real boob.

But anyway...

And I am not a fatty basher. I am a fatty helper.
The first step is breaking the denial process....
and then one can proceed from there.

I agree to get in good shape it can take time.
But I eat cupcakes and all that. Just not everyday to where it makes me gain. And I don't really kill myself with exercise. I wish I could get away with eating whatever I wanted but that is not happening in this life. LOL
But the minimal amount of fitness required just to be healthy is so easy.
Also want to blow through that myth that you have to act like a crazy gym nut to be healthy. That is also BS. Maybe for vanity purposes. But health purpose...no. And healthy always looks beautiful. Part of being healthy is finding work/life balance. So if your job is killing you...work on finding one that doesn't. But eating empty sugary cupcakes is not exactly doing much for anyone's health or real energy levels.

Why is it such a big deal for people to be mindful of their health? I think I see a lot of heavier people who may have BDD like others with eating disorders. But binge eating is a disorder....so....one people fail to admit is so commonly.
Not such a surprise they could be paired together.

I'm hanging out with a teacher. She is overweight, just the way I like it. She works 10 hours a day, then comes home and prepares material for teaching. So make it 12. How is she going to hit the gym? I can however marry her, make her a home momma, buy her a gym membership, and sign her up for real housewives of westchester county. She'll have washboard abs and an a$$ like Kim K.

You're talking about women who look good becoz it's their JOB. They are not doing it for free. However, girls on the road have other jobs. They don't get paid to look good. That's why it's so hard to stay in shape. And that's what I meant by time and dedication.
Not in my experience, but I only know a few young ladies making their living in the fashion industry. It definitely takes emotional strength and self confidence, but so do a lot of jobs. And most women who model aren't trying to make a lifelong career out of it. Most are well aware that you make good use of your genetic gifts while you have them and then move on to something else. I don't understand why people like to turn the fashion industry and hollywood in general into psychological horror movies. Some people crash and burn. Some live happy, normal lives. Same as anyone else.

But why are we talking about models? Back to the painting.

I think the woman in the painting looks similar to the 5'4 160 average gal I posted earlier, though probably a bit slimmer. That average gal is overweight and just 15 lbs shy of obese (by BMI, which of course has limitations). It doesn't much matter if a woman with that body is attractive or not, she's at risk for a laundry list of health problems strictly because of her weight. And the growing obesity trend shows us that these aren't just women who happen to built a little bigger, they are on a slippery slope of out of control weight gain.

I think Ops has a point in trying to fight the view that this size and the behaviors that lead to it are acceptable for such a large portion of the population. Just 40 years ago, less than half the population of America was overweight. Today it's over 60%. People worked fulltime back then, had families and homes to care for, had stresses and long commutes to work and temptations. None of that has changed and yet the country's waistline has and pretending that's okay isn't helping anyone get to a healthier weight.

Yes. But you also work out and do yoga. It's a different kind of curvy. Not babyfat curvy. I don't know how to explain. Curvy is a broad term. It's often abused by the really un-curvy women.

You get my favourite carrot cupcake. 600 cals. Then you can hit the gym.
