Size Positive Hotness!

Wondering aloud here -- and no criticism intended -- but I notice that many of these lovely ladies are also inked. Is there some correlation with being plus-sized and getting tattooed...or is the link with women who would freely pose and be exhibitionistic ?

I love big beautiful women

Let's talk about this.

Note that my intended conversation isn't with zy, herself. Despite her repeated attempts at bullying me (and this isn't the first time she has been this way), I hold no ill will towards Zy. I realize that there may be something in her life that makes her want to be cruel to me and there was a time where I was cruel to her, I've apologized.

But this image, and it's message of weight loss, we are aware that with every single weight loss ad, if you read the fine print at the bottom of the page or screen, it says;
Results not typical.

Think about this, you're paying money into a product where results aren't typical, where the average use of this doesn't work for it's consumer. Would you use a toothbrush that doesn't work?

Furthermore, then you add in the continual fat-shaming culture we live in, where it's common for women and men who are considered obese to go to the doctor for a cough and often end up with a lecture about weight loss.

We must note at this point that weight loss doesn't often work. Or that it doesn't stay. People who lose hundreds of pounds do not often stay that way, gaining the weight back within a year or several, it's estimated that only about 2% of people who lose weight stay that way. This is without considering the damage and strain that this up and down of weight is a severe strain on your heart.

So, now we know that weight loss is not always the smartest, safest or most viable option for most people.

BUT VI! You scream! Fat people cannot be fit or healthy!

Incoming rant in 3... 2... 1...

Oh, I see. Please excuse this misunderstanding. Of course, all the fat women posted in this thread obviously train for the Olympics, clean and jerk 240lb and deadlift 320lb several times per day. They are fat because they are on a special diet to maintain their strength, and not because they eat three times as many calories per day as they should while having a sedentary way of life. :rolleyes:

Let me tell you a little story. A story about an obese boy. A boy who couldn’t do even 10 push ups. A boy who was out of breath after rising even two stories on the stairs. A boy who couldn’t score even 2100 yards on the Cooper test. A boy who was picked on and ridiculed without end in school for years. A boy who weighted over 200lb at age 16. A boy who was so hurt in the end, that he tried doing this to end it all (fyi: the razor blade cut down to the bone; the wound had to be closed with 7 stitches, and the scar will never go away). Some years ago, I stopped being a lazy bum, got off my fat arse, and started exercising. Instead of whining on the internet how unfair obese people were treated, and drowning my sorrows in another bowl of ice cream, I joined a gym and trained three times a week. Yes, there were setbacks. My weight is still fluctuating (mainly because of work related stress and the related candy binges), but I’m already feeling alot better and healthier, now that I’m down 40lb (and still going).

Our culture does fat-shaming, because being fat is a deviation from the human default! No one is born obese, and the normal development of human physiology doesn’t include “weighting 400lb” at any point. There is a border between “curvy” and “obese,” and many posted pictures are far across that line. No matter how you put it, being fat is abnormal. Obesity is considered a disease for a reason (there are even ICD codes for it).

Unless you start putting your money where your mouth is, and back up this claim with some medical studies regarding the general populace, this is pure unfiltered bullshit to justify being a whale (and no, a blue bird in your hair doesn’t make it better).

It is true that if you’re suffering from certain conditions, you should only lose weight under medical supervision to avoid harming yourself or provoking complications, but saying that for “most people” it’s not a good option? That’s ridiculous! Also, unless you go for some really drastic measures (like bariatric surgery), losing weight is a mid- to long-term goal that requires regular exercise, and a fundamental change of your lifestyle. It’s not something that can be solved by swallowing a couple of pills, and if you believe any ads for a simple and effortless weight loss, then you deserve what you get. It requires discipline, and willpower – both admittedly things going out of style in our instant gratification society.

If you want to lead a life that is less healthy, shorter, and less exciting (obese people regularly can’t participate in several “interesting” activities; many bungee jumping and parachuting companies have max weight limits, and if you’re too fat to fit in a roller coaster’s restraints, tough luck; and I’m not even mentioning all the things you can’t do in bed with over 100lb of fat strapped to your belly), then be my guest. But for fucks sake stop advertising being fat as something normal or acceptable or even desirable. It is not, and never should be, unless you want humanity to end like the blobs in Wall-E.
 
Everyone deserves to feel beautiful.

Before I get shouted down I wanted to highlight this post that mirrors my thoughts on this.

I am overweight. I am also working on changing that.
But there is no rule that says I'm not allowed to think I'm beautiful at all stages of my journey.
If I didn't have a healthy sense of my self worth I wouldn't have the motivation to lose weight in the first place. That's what works for me. I'm not saying it works for everyone.

You don't have to find me beautiful. I do.
And I'm allowed to do so.

You don't have to find all the women posted in this thread beautiful.
But those that do, are allowed to.

Besides, I know a lot of skinny people who are ugly. For a multitude of reasons. Their souls, their hearts and sometimes their faces. They all contribute to a person's beauty, in my opinion.

Beauty shouldn't quantified by a number on a scale and that's the problem. A lot of the time, it is.

(Note: I'm talking solely about weight in relation to beauty here as that was the subject of the post that started all this, not health.)
