This link is talking about Tess Holliday, who is a plus-sized model (size 20 American, UK 24). I pose this question to you.... do you agree with her message? I, personally, love that she promotes self-love and not self-hate. If we all should be so lucky to feel comfortable in our bodies. However, part of me feels like she's also promoting something unhealthy (obesity). What's your opinion? DISCUSS! [b]EDIT:[/b] Do you think that if she were a MAN, that society would be saying "love yourself"? I feel like there's a huge double standard here when it comes to males and females being happy with their body sizes.

  • My views are kind of split on this subject. In one sense, obesity is linked to so many lifestyle diseases. There is no such thing as "healthy at any weight" and I think the movement is bullshit. Even if vitals are cf checking in normal now, they will not forever. Excess body weight creates a huge strain on the CNS, cardiovascular system, and the musculoskeletal system. However, by no means do obese or overweight individuals deserve to be treated sub-human. They deserve the same respect and love that anyone does. People can be physically attractive at varying sizes, but it does not mean they are healthy. Stay healthy and we retain beauty longer. It's a simple truth.
