Yeah I am sensitive about this because I get obese women and men comming to me with diabetes and high blood pressure who have this crooked mentality that its ok for them to be 50, 100, 150 pounds overweight and I have to coach them out of this thought process. This is a real problem and we have all these people running around with no pyschology degree, no nutrition degree and NO CLUE telling these people that they are ok when they are dying! PA LEASE!

Im not here to make anyone feel bad about themselves. It just buggs the shit outta me.

The beauty comes from within.

John Candy was a beautiful man on the inside. He was talented and gave his gift to the world and made me smile with his movies and tv cartoon. Tragically, he isnt with us anymore because he died of a massive heart attack.

That is a tragedy...just as the fact we can't hear Karen Carpenter's angelic voice anymore because she died of a massive heart attack due to complications of anorexia.

applekisses said:

You are absolutely right. I still love her voice and wonder why she had to leave us so soon. Again, anorexia is as unhealthy as obesity and should not be encouraged.

dreamfactory313 said:

Ah, but you see many more unhealthy, underweight people in the media than you do overweight people.

dreamfactory313 said:

There's all sorts of healthy and unhealthy people in the world. Would you argue with folks that Hendrix or say, Jim Morrison were in NO WAY sexy cause they were drug addicts? Do you go into chemo wards to let the lung cancer patients know that bald isn't sexy cause they're unhealthy?

I see many more overweight people in my line of work. Im not going to hav ea discussion about which is more unhealthy, an obese person or an anorexic person. They are both dangerously unhealthy and should be strongly discouraged.

CarrieMpls said:

Ok, thats ridiculous & u know it. What does this have to do with my main point here?
[Edited 8/17/05 18:56pm]

I just don't think a person should be judged by what the bathroom scale says. There are just way too many more things to factor in.

dreamfactory313 said:

Actually, I don't find it ridiculous at all. You're main point seems to be fat is unhealthy, therefore is not sexy and should not be 'encouraged'.
No one's encouraging. We're just accepting. Just as we would people with any other 'flaw'. And we find people can be beautiful/sexy/attractive despite their 'flaws'.

Samaar said:

Should a person be judged by whether or not u think they're attractive?

dreamfactory313 said:

Yeah, that was a sad day

CarrieMpls said:

Ok, my main point doesnt have anything to do with being sexy. Its about health here. Speaking of health, would you "accept" someone being anorexic or would u strongly suggest that they get help if it was someone that u loved?

dreamfactory313 said:

So...that's what it actually boils down to...you think fat is unattractive. That's fine, it's your opinion, but please don't hide it behind your "concern" for the "unhealthy"

dreamfactory313 said:

What do you mean? You asked people to post pics of sexy, fat men! You said NOTHING about sexy, unhealthy men.

dreamfactory313 said:

Well, you're just looking for a fight aren't you? lol
I guess what I meant to say is that a persons attractiveness/sexiness should not be judged on weight alone.

dreamfactory313 said:

I declare shenanigans again!

This is NOT about being healthy it IS about being sexy. What are you asking for in your original post? Post pics of sexy fat men. Clear as day. Then you degenerate into saying that fat isn't healthy, er go, isn't sexy. I'm just carrying that unhealthy analogy.

As for my friend with anorexia? Of course I'd want her to get help. But I'd love her just the same, find her just as pretty/attractive/whathaveyou through it all. Cause accepting her as she is and helping her see her self worth has NOTHING to do with how she looks would be most beneficial to her.

I should add, I think all beauty pagents are BS. Of course, I did post something to that effect on the last thread.

CarrieMpls said:

We won't hear much else from dreamfactory tonight...seems he or she ran out of posts.

applekisses said:

I got that org-pop too.

ah well. I'm off to bed. nice discussion, all.

CarrieMpls said:

Good night, honey

applekisses said:

You know, Apples, you skip out on us for months, then return only to frequent threads about fat men.
