Some people can eat whatever the hell they want and be a little chubby and that's fine. Some other people like to deprive themselves to be more physically appealing. I prefer the satisfied chubbies over the deprived skinnies.

Why would you want either? They're both obviously unhealthy.

A person who's overweight is not obviously unhealthy. You can't tell how healthy a person is by judging their size, big or small. Go back and read the first page. rolleyes

Well, I know for a fact, that some people have the genetics that cause their body to be bigger rather than the "normal" skinny. I know, it sounds like complete crap but it's true!
These people eat normally, meaning around 2000 calories a day, and get normal excersise, about an hour or more a day, and still remain fat. It's absolutely natural and because this is what they're genetics force them to be they're body can take it. A person with a typical "skinny" genetic history who's fat most likely isn't living a healthy life style. Eating unhealthy food in large amounts and excersising less than thirty minutes a day.
I have the genetics for big hips, and being short, therefore I am. Since I have big hips most my fat goes to my butt and thighs, most women gain fat in these areas. I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny, and I'm proud to be "chubby". I don't care who says I should lose weight or gain it, I'm proud to be what I am, and I'll regulate my weight to where I want when I want and how I want~
Keep you diets away from me!

lol I'll second that! Boo for dieting! Yay for being healthy!

I love your confidence. :]
As long as you`re healthy and heavy, that`s great.
On Medical Incredible, there was an obese man who was supposedly the healthiest person alive.
He couldn`t lose weight or anything...but he was fat- not just muscular.
It was cool...and diabetes- you can get that without being fat.

Hooray for your confidence! It's way sexy.
In the end, it's about being happy about your body. If someone is happy being a size two, they shouldn't preach to everyone else that a size two is the way to be. It's a personal thing, and kudos to you for having the confidence at ANY size. It's a confidence that not many women have.

Has anyone seen this news? Just more evidence that it can be all genetic.

My goodness! Thanks for posting that up! biggrin Interesting stuff. Very interesting indeed.

Here's a new story from Kate Harding of Shapely Prose's blog; it talks about skinny male models and the acceptance of the male body in society. An interesting read and very informative.

So some annoying lurker (their name, not mine) decided to lambast me in my profile for promoting poor health and saying that fat people, hell, anyone, should give up on health and eat themselves to death. I'm leaving the comment up there for anyone who's interested in taking a peek.
In reaction to this I've made a minor change to the front page. I've switched around points 1 and 2 in hopes that people will actually y'know, read it. rolleyes

oh well there will always be people who won't bother to try and see the virtues in any topic and will get on your case for what they assume the topic is. it's more fun encountering them in person though... xd

[LadyEladrin]

Very true! And sometimes a face to face meeting is more productive. ^^
