I mean, seriously. I, myself am not thin and I never will be. I have a large family, and I have a really bad metabolism.
Besides, back in medevil (sp?) times, women who were heavier-set were viewed as healthier, and ble to bear better sons... not that I want that last part... XD So, this raises the question; why do Americans feel the need to look down upon us larger girls, and think that we aren't pretty, aren't as smart, can't do as many things, etc.? |

I find this stupid Skeleton=MODEL!! Regular to heavy set girl=LOSE WEIGHT YOUR UGLY! I get sick of everyone saying that their fat!! But, also we have an obesity problem and it needs to be fixed, but going skeleton isnt good to your health.. you could even die but no one is seeing this. When people say "Obesity Strikes America" people start to think "Ohhh , my, gosh!! I'm one of those fat people who need to lose weight." Also the supermodel approach isnt helping either, sticking your finger down your throat to lose weight! it disgust me!! I mean.. I look tiny on the top but I have thighs and butt!! I cant change that, I know it. But, this is just outrageous.. and then they also blame it on stress... Yeah.. ok.. stress it hard, its takes it toll, but making yourself throw up over stress is dumb...
