There seem to be quite a few 'fat posts' on here at the minute and everyone sticking up for the less than skinny person.

Now I'm not fat nor am I stick thin I'd say slightly above average...just so you know...BUT is it really attractive to be a size 26?!

Obesity comes with all sorts of problems its just not healthy!

well as you may have read on the site i'm currently detoxing for a few days prob 3 or 5 cant quite decide yet! lol!

I'm a size 12ish 5ft 4' and weigh 11st 5lbs (was 12st 3lbs)but want to get to 10st 2 lbs which is what i was when i met me fella. I'm not happy being that size which is why I'm trying to loose it

Apart from Beth Ditto...is anyone happy or content being overweight?

I guess if are we dont see ourselves as overweight.

Never mind, fat people drop dead quite early on so we dont have to look at their fugly bodies for that long.... hopefully.

I don't like the word "fat" aimed at an overweight person , and I equally don't like "skinny or stick thin " aimed at an underweight person :-)

[river]

what term would you prefer BM?

In answer to your question river

I'm overweight. I could certainly stand to loose a stone. Possibly two.

But I have to say I feel quite happy. My diet (apart from lunch which I invaribly forget to eat) is pretty good, I drink lots of water, I walk just about everywhere and I don't think I look like the back end of a bus. Possibly the front end but definitely not the back!

So yeah. It is possible to be overweight and content I guess.

I wouldn't think to comment on anybodys size and can only say how I would prefer to be described .

Beauty comes from the inside.

I'm sure that we would all want to be ''body beautifuls'', but hey, lifes a b!tch at times


Ps, Do skinny people not suffer health problems then river?

I am a size 14, I am 5'4... and weigh about 11 stone...

I consider myself a tad overweight... ( would like to be 10 stone .. and a size 12)....

But I think I am reasonably healthy, I walk, I swim and I run up and down the stairs in my house.. ( 4 floors,... 42 stairs)

My hubby loves me.. he likes my curves... he also loves J'Lo's ass and prefers curvy girls to the size 0's ,2's 4's 6's
and 8's

As for skinny... or very very slim people... My friend is a size 6... she has bad skin, looks tired and gaunt... and constantly complains that she cannot get the right kind of chicken fillet breast enhancers.... she has no boobs... just skin with nipples at the end....

Not all slim people are like this... she is manic.... all she does is exercise and drink water...she eats one meal a day ..... stupid girl... she wont listen!!!

As long as you are healthy... does it matter what size you are?????
