I have a love/hate relationship with that website. I love how real it is but it reminds of me of everything I hate about my body.

They are technically obese using the BMI scale and are apparently "disgusting" according to your good self (as they're obese and obese equates to disgusting as stated in a previous post): Search by Height, Weight - My Body Gallery - What Real Women Look Like

Sorry, I don't agree with you, I'm not convinced, we're apparently disgusted by different things.
I think there is one thing we all agree on. No one has the same definition of "chubby" or "disgusting"

Very true! I say go for the best you can (and want to be). Oh and of course....nobody's perfect!

Sometimes I look and think "no way" and then other times I just scratch my head. But hey, people with my measurements (and height range) can easily range between 30 pounds lighter than me to 30 pounds heavier....so oh well.

LOL!!! Are you going to cry for me, little boy? Are you going to shed tears so that I may drink them and enjoy?

Seriously, The thread was posted for anyone and everyone to respond to. I responded appropriately, where as you added very little or nothing of value to the thread.

But please, continue crying. I do love troll tears.

It depends on the situation, are both overweight or disgusting? Honey Boo Boos dad is pretty gross himself, with all that chew slime hanging around his lips.
Every person has their tolerance point, if my husband looked like Sugar Bear, I'd gain weight to keep him away.

I have no idea of who she is either.

But if she looks like some of the people who frequent IHOP, I have a good idea. ew.

I've also found that many of the men complaining that their wives/girlfriends have 'let themselves go' aren't exactly Adonis' themselves.

they will walk around with these gigantic stomachs and their shorts are underneath the stomach because they're so big. That's 'acceptable and allowed' but the women can't even age, God forbid.
