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.? |

well...fat girls look...ugly(no offence). Also being fat/not fit isn't good for you.

well...fat girls look...ugly(no offence). Also being fat/not fit isn't good for you. Um. How can she not take offense to that, honestly? And it looks like you need to step out of the debate forum if you're going to type up a post with the merit of a 1st grader. I read an article once that said that people who are "fat" are not necessarily unhealthy. In fact some larger people are much healthier than some slimmer people. Seriously! I'm 5'5 and 99 pounds. Does that make me any healthier than a girl who's 5'5 and 130 pounds? Not at all!! Believe me. I am the biggest pig you'll ever meet and I don't play any sports. I'm lazy and I eat candy and cake and brownies like no other. It's something called heredity, my friend. And it works both ways. I know someone who's the complete opposite of me. She's athletic, is always involved in sports, eats just as much as she needs to and on a strictly healthy diet. But ... she's what you might call "fat". But she's lightyears more healthy than I am! And America's not the only country that wants people to be thin. It's really hard to explain it. Sometimes people create a stereotype about fat people, like they're lazy or eat too much and those traits are unattractive. If you're fat, be fat and proud damnit! Don't starve yourself or go on crash diets or anything that strays from a regular, healthy lifestyle. I know this is going to sound as cliche as anything, but having confidence will matter a hell of a lot more than a slim figure. |
