Okay, so lately I've noticed that almost noone is considered fat anymore! Overweight and even obese people are now being called "curvy" or "thick". People feel like it's okay and healthy to be any weight that isn't, like, completely round. Seriously, there are girls that are like, 20-30 pounds overweight and people are like "oh she just has some meat on her bones." I'm not saying everyone needs to be a size 00 but you can't argue with bmi and fat %. When the Bmi charts say you are OBESE you aren't "thick" you're FAT! And I hate how people say it's healthier than benig skinny. Obviously it's healthier than being dangerously underweight but on the lower range of a healthy bmi is HEALTHY. Do you think the fact that america is becoming fatter and fatter has distorted peoples image of what a healthy weight range is?

I hate when fat people call themselves curvy.
Curvy is when you're slim, but have an hourglass figure.

I know. I know. I've wondered this for a long time.

Obesity's become some sort of fashion statement now.

"Big is beautiful!" "Well, at least I'm not anorexic!" Blah blah blah.

They just refuse to accept that they're fat and refuse to do anything about it. Instead, they're taking the lazy way out and trying to make their state of health the norm and portray it as attractive.

I find it sickening.

No people are just learning calling someone FAT in the sense you are does nothing. It hurts peoples self esteem. Being called Curvy does not. Overweight people are alot more attractive then annorexic people. What does it matter to you what people call another persons weight? Does it effect the way you sleep at night? No. There body there choice.

People arent becoming fatter because they are being called curvy. People are becoming fatter because times have changed what used to be 24 hours in a day now only feels like 6. 15 minutes is hard to spare to cook a balanced diet so people on the go get take away, or microwaved foods. Its juts alot easier because its there.

Your schools do not promote healthy eating. My school?

We werent allowed chips, fizzy drinks, lollies, deepfried foods, we had home made pies and sausage rolls with lean mince meat No ice creams. No unhealthy shit. The shit you kids eat in america is overly processed shit. The food most schools serve in the world is shit.

Society has changed and you really need to get over yourself and the way you made this thread. You could have said it in a much nicer way but you choose to cut down those who are curvy and go FAT your not beautiful your fat theres a difference.

Pathetic.


the same with annorexic people, calling them skinny little stick or runts or whatever just hurts them more which helps fester the disease and makes them worse off.


Dont promote unhealthy wieghts forsure however go the right way about adressing it.

Thats just an opinion.

Well, if they had OWN minds, they'd know what kinda size they are & what kinda trouble itll bring if their either anorexic or obese.

And its pretty obvious fat aint curvy! curvy are like those girls dancing around rappers on MTV.

Ah well, someday they'll come to realise.. hopefully.

What is attractive is a matter of opinion. The majority of the poplulation find skinny to be attractive, but there are other people who don't. Nobody has the same ideal for beauty. Some people find short people attractive, some prefer really tall, some people find light skin to more attractive then tan, and yes some people find "fat" people more attractive then skinny. No one has the right to tell another person what they should like. I'm certainly no pixie and I prefer to be this way. I have had people call me an ugly pig, and others who have even suggested anorexia. But I have also had people tell me that they think I look wonderful and don't want me to change a thing. Yeah its wrong for people to try and change the view on obesity to make it more acceptable, I hate when people try to be nice and just call me curvy. But people also have to realise that its that person's body and if they wish to be overweight get over it, calling them names is not going to help, and in lowering their self-esteem they may end up eating more out of depression and just getting heavier. I also find it disgusting that if a person is desperately trying to lose weight people mock them still, and some even tell them they can't do it and discourage them into giving up.

If you're going bitch about how fat people are unhealthy, I suggest you bitch about the other end of the spectrum aswell.

Not all slim people are healthy. Fuck BMI charts. Everyone is different. Charts can't tell you shit. I'm 160lbs at 5'7" and my BMI is 24.6. Thats pretty damn good. I'm inbetween. I'm not saying be nice about "fat" but heck, since when is skinny the uber health? Seriously.

And you know, theres some slim people I know that actually have highblood pressure and diabetes and theres some fat people I know that don't have any of that. It just honestly depends on the person and how they're made.

Uhm I have a friend thats like 6'0" at 230lbs whos pretty damn healthy.

And yes, its a GIRL. She wears plus size clothing. But shes very athletic and takes care of herself, yet she still is in a size 18. She wouldn't be doing what shes doing if she wasn't healthy. Its just how her body is. Shes lost some weight but shes got a good amount of muscle aswell.

Fuck off.

Oh and its funny how I see all these skinny people laid up in the hospital with cancer (I know chemo causes weight loss) but before that. I was in the hospital couple months back, I saw very few fat people and a ton of skinny people hooked to machines :). One had kidney failure (or problems that were severe) obviously due to being hooked up to a dialysis. o_o.

I find obese girls disgusting, I dislike fat chicks. Just my opinion, what the fat girls should do is hit the gym and do some cardio. Anorexic is also disgusting, but it's alot less disgusting then obese or overweight people. Whenever I see a obese person, I think that he or she is a lazy bum, it's not that hard to hit the gym 3 to 4 times a week, and that's enough to keep you in shape.

Neither really thin or really overweight girls are attractive or healthy. I am disgusted by morbidly obese people who sit around and eat all day when there are children starving to death because of lack of food. At the same time, people who die from refusing to eat disgust me because once again there are people starving to death from lack of food in their countries!! Which is worse, I'm not sure.

OMG you are a moron. The skinny cancer patients didn't get cancer FROM being skinny. However, all the fattys with heart failure were in the hospital BECAUSE they were fat.

And of course there are tons of skinny people in hospitals. You go to the hospital if your SICK or, like, about to die. lol.

Actually alot of people don't have time to go to a gym that much. If its going to interfere with their jobs or family, then it just can't be done, especially if your a teenager, unless they have really supportive family or friends then how will they find a ride? They better have their own car and unless mommy and daddy are paying for it they will most likely have to be at work and not the gym. I would love to go to the gym but I don't have time to just leave my kids for a couple hours a night, not to mention I would never be able to get a ride or pay for a taxi or bus.

The point was is that is doesn't matter if your skinny or fat, those things still happen to people who are skinny and appear to be healthy. Even if your skinny and look "sexy", if you are not taking proper care of yourself then its pointless because you will still meet a bad end. You don't have to be fat to die of heartfailure. I know a few people who have had multiple heartattacks, and they are nowhere near fat, they just didn't care for themselves right. So if according to your logic, if heartfailure is because your fat, them what's the excuse for skinny people who die of it?

Just like some women are naturally thin, many are naturally fat.

Me a moron? Far from it. :)

I never said being thin gave you cancer. I was trying to prove a point.

Oh, and there was like 1 fat person in the hospital. But she was only there for surgery.

Oh, and theres also condition skinny people can have. They can be obese and thin at the same time. I suggest you looking it up.

But yeah, skinny people are just as unhealthy as fat people. I'm talking overweight, not obese. Obese is a whole different story, along with anorexia in which both are dangerous and unattractive.

Not all fat people are lazy. Stop thinking and assuming they are. A lot of it is genetic problems. And no, its not that easy to go hit a gym. Some people don't have time, nor the money. And you know what? The gym doesn't always work. Fucking idiots. Some people just can't loose it no matter what. Its really sad seeing that. I've watched stories on Discovery Health and a lot of those people worked their asses off to loose their weight. No success.

I'm assuming everybody on this board is in HS or College, well pretty much every HS and College campus has a gym. It's also usually free, stay for 40 min after school, 4 times a week, it's not that hard. Even if your HS doesn;t have a gym or you can't stay after school, you can still do stuff at home, run outside, to sit ups, anything. The excuses you used are the normal excuses people use to why they can't exercise, but really, it's not that they CAN'T do it, it's that they don't want to.

There are some horribly stupid points being made.

Someone said skinny people can be just as unhealthy as fat people ... the difference is, skinny people aren't ill because of their weight, more likely their weight is a symptom of being ill. Whereas fat people tend to have health complications due to their excessive weight. Do you see the difference there, retard? It's not about what illnesses skinny or fat people might have, we're talking about the effects of their weight here. Other illnesses and diseases are completely irrelevant.

Also, people are saying "Yeah well anorexic people are unattractive too!" ... are you braindead?! No shit anorexic people are unattractive ... how does that stop obesity from being sickening? No one's telling you to drop obesity and pick up anorexia, for fuck's sake. Ever heard of the healthy middle ground? Slim? Slender? Athletic? Fit?

As for talking about the "other side of the spectrum" ... the other side of this particular spectrum is anorexia or being underweight, which is already looked down upon by society, so what's the need to make a thread about it?

The point is, there is all this shit about "bigger is beautiful" and obesity is becoming a fashion statement, with plus-sized models and all that crap.

*sigh* ... and here we go:

You would if in the media all you saw were these people, in the coke and snickers ads they had these people. Onn the news they told you skinny people were disgusting. Its a brain wash.

media has brainwashed people into thinking blonde hair blue eyes tanned tall skinny is what is attractive. They have told people thats what attractive is so if the roles were be reversed and you just had overwight people on tv you would be brainwashed into thinking thats what is beautiful.

Well, you're wrong. I'm not particularly attracted to tall, blonde, blue-eyed people. I actually prefer dark hair, green eyes and petite builds. So yeah, your point's kind of moot now, isn't it? By the way, on the news they do say that skinny people are disgusting. Extremely disparaging remarks are made about anorexics. Again, your point is false.

I would never find obesity attractive because it simply looks unhealthy. I don't care if once in a blue moon, you find an obese person that doesn't suffer from health problems. Attraction is about appearance and looking unhealthy is tantamount to being unhealthy when it comes down to it.

Fat people are lazy. Nothing but lazy. Then once someone says that they reply with, "Oh you have no idea how hard it is blah blah blah....". I was over weight (not obese, big differance) over one summer vacation 2 years back I lost all of it (besides in my face, chubby cheeks. >_<) It wasn't that hard, I applied myself, got my ass up and did something. There is no reason anyone else can't do it either. As for the topic, big deal if certain people find overweight individules attractive? Gosh. It's not effecting you. Everyone has a differant opinion, say a magazine puts in a pair of shoes and Sally says they are the greatest thing in the world, however Sue thinks they are horrid and need to burned. There isn't much of a differance in the two situations of overweight being attractive and shoes looking nice. No one is wrong, and no one is right. If the person chooses to be fat and live unhealthy it's their choice. Yes I'm aware not all fat people are unhealthy, but they have more of a chance getting a lot of diseases/medical problems.

Omg I hate that! It's like they're trying to make being fat acceptable now. I mean, I totally disagree with people trying to be as thin as those models who are literally sticks, but this is just as bad in my opinion. I HATE plus size models, because even though everyone's like, "They're projecting a healthy image", they're NOT. Being fat is not healthy! I believe models should have a healthy bmi, should eat right, and work out (like we'll ever see that in our lifetime). I myself do not have the perfect body, but I do have a healthy bmi, and i eat right. I'm just working out so I can gain more muscle. Anyways, I totally, 100% agree with you.

"Fat" is a negative term people use to describe overweight or "wide" people. Technically speaking, people do not people "fat" is beautiful because it is a negative word. However, people are starting to embrace all different kinds of body types. I think it may all be in rebellion to the thin, tall model look. (Which in my opinion will always be beautiful)
But I don't think it's the only way to look. I just think, if you're at a healthy weight, then you're fine. And that there are many, many body types that are beautiful. Even though most people think that's a load of crap.

uh for most ppl its not. For ppl with perfect genetics they don't need to work out but for others(me included) go and work out a total of 2-3 hours 4 days a week combining weight and cardio with a better diet than I'd guess you'd have(not perfect though). Its the same as getting muscle, if you aren't born with great genetics its a slow and close to impossible process fo some ppl. I'll admit many fat ppl are lazy but I'd bet I outwork and outdiet 80% of skinny teens. Weight, strength and muscle is not something that can be easily changed.

Personally, I think body size should not have anything to do with attractiveness, because many people in the world today equate attractiveness with worth. Automatically people think an overweight person has less worth than a thin person. Yes it may be unhealthy to be too fat or too thin, but that doesn't mean someone is ugly or worthless.
Being anorexic or obese is obviously not good, I am by no means saying that.

Oh, and when I go to the gym I see plenty of overweight people working out. They obviously care about being somewhat healthy.

Honestly, people need to worry about themselves being healthy rather than other people being healthy.

Im not the skinniest person around and i can admit it......But i dont agree with calling obesity a trend....u have to look at the circumstances of why that person is so unhealthy.... Different People Different Lifestyles

Okay, so lately I've noticed that almost noone is considered fat anymore! Overweight and even obese people are now being called "curvy" or "thick". People feel like it's okay and healthy to be any weight that isn't, like, completely round. Seriously, there are girls that are like, 20-30 pounds overweight and people are like "oh she just has some meat on her bones." I'm not saying everyone needs to be a size 00 but you can't argue with bmi and fat %. When the Bmi charts say you are OBESE you aren't "thick" you're FAT! And I hate how people say it's healthier than benig skinny. Obviously it's healthier than being dangerously underweight but on the lower range of a healthy bmi is HEALTHY. Do you think the fact that america is becoming fatter and fatter has distorted peoples image of what a healthy weight range is?

20 lbs overweight isint exactly fat, not to mention she could be muscular.

Oh and its funny how I see all these skinny people laid up in the hospital with cancer (I know chemo causes weight loss) but before that. I was in the hospital couple months back, I saw very few fat people and a ton of skinny people hooked to machines :). One had kidney failure (or problems that were severe) obviously due to being hooked up to a dialysis. o_o.

What the fuck?

Okay well to whoever said 'lots of people are fat because of genetics, they cant lose weight no matter how hard they try' thats bullshit. That does happen but its VERY rare. Lots of people just use that as an excuse, instead of admitting that they eat like shit and never exercise. You dont need a gym, you can exercise at home. Even 30 minutes 3 times a week makes a huge difference, and dont tell me you have no time for that. Im sure if someone really wanted to stop being a lazy pile of shit they could definately make time.

And im sorry but stop bringing anorexia into this. Nobody is telling any of you fat people to become anorexic. But not all thin people are anorexic. And if you think that they are youre stupid, so die. Its called a healthy lifestyle; exercise and good eating habits.

Im not brainwashed by tv either into KNOWING, not thinking, that thin/average is more attractive. Its obvious, just like not having acne is obviously way better looking than having acne...its the same with being fat or thin. But if it were brainwashing what about my taste in guys for example. If i were media brainwashed I would like guys like orlando bloom and guys on laguna beach...but I like tough looking guys with tattoos and piercings.

So I guess all im trying to say is if youre fat theres a 9/10 chance its your own damn fault, not genetics so stop bitching about thin people just because YOU have clogged arteries, cant fit into clothing, and get out of breath walking up stairs.

I believe "fat" people are being more accepted into todays society than being discriminated because this issue has been dealt with for a lot of years now. Though the slim people will always be beautiful, it's time for the "big" people to fit in, just as long as there not "Honken" huge and going crazy for food stuffing...

Being proud of being unhealthy when you can do something about it without help from anyone else is stupidly dangerous and annoying as fuck.

Yeah, but if everyone on the world were healthy weight everyone would be happy and healthy. Plus no one would discriminate each other body's sizes, that's when the world will go crazy obsessing with facial features.

Um not all fat or very skinny ppl are unhappy. now ur just generalizing. Lmao Its only weirdos like u that obsess over fat and aneroixic ppl...Sorry not everyone cant be fake and shallow like u :eek:

Plus imagine the world;s population if everyone was healthy dumbass.
