Rise Of the Real People

well put. I have been steaming from the ignorance.

either extreme is unhealthy. the attractive part isn't really the most important thing - and if it was, then that's where opinion comes in.

nothing wrong with size 6 models.

Wow...promoting being unhealthy to young, impressionable children to serve your own selfish motives. Way to go.

aw that's sad.

well, hon, there are people out there who would go for the fat person first. it's a matter of taste. whatever unfortunate surroundings you've been influenced by didn't do it. learn some things on your own.

I too think you got this all wrong! Who ever said that size 0 is healthier that size 8! Real people are not all over weight. But seeing a beautiful woman in size 8 or even 10 looks like she is healthy and not suffering from some sort of eating disorder! With personal experience as a model, most of the time those really little ones were unhealthy! A real women with curves in all the right places in better than a flagpole anyday!!!!

Am sorry you got that all very wrong. I am a very attractive slender I mean slim woman with all the curves a woman may need but beleive me the men I have dated all want a woman with a little more skin than I do. Atleast not to term me fat but a little soft and tender when mating not bones and squeezing. beleive me I know what am talking about

fantastic! yes, I was worried that everyone seems to think that by "normal" they mean fat.

I am fortunate my immediate family does not have issues with obesity. However, if it was an issue, I would never in a a thousand years advise my child that "image is everything" and that life is less wonderful if your physical self is not made in the proper image for designer clothes. You seem to have some true issues and a distorted take on reality. Wait.... it appears that reality means nothing to you. "Image" is the name of the game. Why don't you discuss 'image" with some of the individuals who purchased homes beyond their means that are now facing forclosure. "Image" would also be great discussion topic for those facing bankruptcy due to major credit card debt acquired while attempting to create and maintain their "image". You state in another post that your daughter is two years old. At age two children cannot run very fast. She will be lucky when she is a bit older and more co-ordinated. Perhaps she will acquire lightning speed so that she can run away from you.

Wow while I agree that I would not want my kids to be overweight simply because it is unhealthy, your reply disgusted me. You my dear are what is wrong with our society. While you are teaching your children how to be pretty and have an expensive house and car, I will be teaching mine how to be truly great people. People who are honest and don't judge others based on what they have or look like, people who go out of their way to help one in need, people who use their minds and God given gifts to change the world for the better, people who your broken children will come to when they realize that what their mother taught them is important and means nothing at all. I hope that your empty life soon causes you to look for meaning...

wait...I think I finally figured out what you were attempting to say. it was so idiotically put I had a lot of trouble.

no, skinny girls aren't cannibals silly.

lol we should meet for coffee, where do you stay?

also...just since your comment was so "special" - overweight people don't just gain weight in their stomache. if they did, maybe they could just put on a girdle and they'd feel fabulous or whatnot.

I really do want you to address this to people in real life. it would be adorable to see a fat person get a good workout beating your ignorant face in. then everyone would be happy!

you'd be happy cause a fat person got excercise, and I'd be happy because you'd look a lot better with a smushed in nose.

seriously - the problem isn't just "fat". short people have trouble modeling as well. double post, yes, maybe one of them will make sense to you.

go tell your fat loved ones how much youhate them now.

go.

lol what?

first of all, I'm short, not fat, and I don't like fries.

I do hope you're a model, you're too ignorant to make it any other way :(

Exactly. People are forgetting this is about MODELS. They are MODELS for a reason. The advertisers /designers know that "normal" people will not sell. Simple fact. They are marketing an ideal. Those of you that think this is going to change because a few fat , oops I mean "curvy", people have low self-esteem are a bit delusional. You want "average" looking models? Go check out the Lane Bryant catalog.

Are you joking! That is just tacky!

it's only what they want men to think they want

so true though.

the "twiggy" idea has been around since the 60's people. that's over 40 years....a trend that won't be forgotten by a few plus sized models.

also, have none of you noticed layne briant and crap? plus sized people model a lot, you are all just concerned because your little fads don't seem as exclusive.

yay! yes, I'm short too, and I've always felt uhm "less than superior" when next to a really tall woman. I feel much better knowing that short women can be doted upon fashionably.

Clothing sizes don't have a damned thing to do with it. You're 5'10" and a size 2? Goodie for you. To me, that sounds sickly looking and anorexic. But you might be stunningly fit looking. At my lowest weight, I was a size 12. I'm also 5'5". I'm sure to you that sounds fat and disgusting. So be it. But I felt good, I looked good and I felt comfortable in my skin. More importantly, I was healthy.

Focus: I personally don't care who models what. I'd just like to see clothes designed to fit a woman with hips and a chest. I know very few women who are built like little boys, yet most clothes are made to fit that type of figure. It's not that freaking difficult to make clothes in which many women would actually comfortable and dare I say it, stylish. And no, I don't mean fat women, I mean anyone's definition of a "normal" sized woman. Which is, basically, anyone larger than Sarah Jessica Parker.

To Miami4Life...I can tell you from expierience not everyone at weight watchers is a size 14 and up. I attend meetings and I am a size 8. Please note that weight watchers is for people that want to change ther lifestyles by practicing better eating habits.

the reason there is a new diet out everyday is because insenstive people like you make it a mission to make normal people feel like crap about themselves so they go out and try harmful means to make them into a size 2. luckily for my size 14 butt I'm happy with the way I am and I GO TO THE GYM DAILY AND HIT THE WEIGHTS!!!! I have no idea what gym you go to but the one I work in there are MANY people who are not in the single digit pant size. Get a cheeseburger and be quiet, that's probably the reason you are so rude is because your not getting enough fat.

I am sure you must feel very fortunate to be so thin, but for some of us we will never be a size 2. I consider myself healthy for your curiousity I wear a size 8. I once went on a 1500 calorie a day diet and made it down to a size 6, but I wasn't very happy. My doctor said I was underweight for my build, and I lost some muscle mass and performance at sports. My bone structure will never fit into a size 2, my hip bones will never be smaller than 36.5'' and I will just have to live with that. Don't criticize those who have trouble keeping weight off, not all of us win the genetic lottery. Accepting that some people were meant to be larger is a step in the right direction.
