i get what you're saying
and many people made their points clear on that other thread about obese chillun...
BUT...some people, as was discussed, are just naturally big, and are healthy (i'm not starting this debate again yall so QUIT while you're ahead)
i'm not big, but i'm very very curvy...and trying to fit into what is seen as "normal" clothing isn't always easy...many jeans today, if you look @ ads for american eagle (shudder) or campus crew (shudder shudder) are STRAIGHT for girls who don't have much in the hip department...here, those two stores kind of lead the promotion of trends, and well, other stores follow in order to keep up right?
so where does that leave the big or curvy girls? shopping at stores that don't neccessarily fit our style, but fit us nonetheless...
i'm just saying, instead of attacking (not sayin u were hun, just other people on the previous thread) people for how they look, why not try and accomodate to them instead of alienating them...
that's what society's good at, isolating people and making them feel like shit
and to those who were bitching that big people should make a change because they did, goodie for fucking you - you got thru it, don't assume that it'll be just as easy for others too...cuz we all know what assuming does - and believe me, it shows.
so while it's debatable if its a good or bad thing
let it happen...it's not saying that it's ok to be unhealthy and blah blah blah
but seriously, if one is happy with their shape and their body, why discourage that? why force them mope and sulk and wish for a better body? that's years of quality living stipped from them..they can work on it if they so wish to, and that's awesome, and if they don't and their satisfied, well that's fucking awesome too!!!

Is "Plus Sized Women" the new polite term for overweight women?

nope...it can also mean tall...or just larger than average...which could have nothing to do with weight.

other than the difficulty finding clothes that fit my tall frame i LOOOVE my curves. sure all people don't appreciate them but those are the people i have no need/want for anyway! i am big and beautiful...toot toot.

i'm not saying there aren't times in my life that i wish i were smaller but i think that is a natural thought for all women regardless of your size. i just hope someday all sizes, races, ages, intelligence are just accepted without question/judgement...what a wonderful world that would be....falloff how is that for a Ms America speech!!??!!



wink
you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel horny

Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

Please don't kill me, but is it possible that this isn't totally a good thing?

Americans are overweight, and becoming moreso every day. neutral I understand people need clothes that fit them but the Supersizing of America is getting out of hand, imo. Cars and airplanes are being redesigned because we, as a country, keep getting larger.

No offense to anyone intended. My friends are all sizes, shapes, etc. Peace.

Damn near. I'm short, (4'11) skinny, (about 92 lbs. at last count) don't have hardly anything in the hips or ass department, but I'm almost too big for a B cup! That makes shopping lots of fun. lol

same problem as me, I'm tallish but still pretty slight with this massive bosom mad I look normal dressed, but I wear a 30H or 32G bra I'm a freak fit

My sister's a FF cup but the rest of her's average sized and she has the hardest time finding shirts that fit.

must be kind of a mixed native thing... i have a friend who is 1/8 Cherokee, and who has the same dilemna. after four children - yes four - she finally got hips and kind of/sort of a backside!

I think it's definitely a native thing. A lot of native women have flat butts, even if they've got some extra weight. My sister's on the big side of average and has an ass you could make pancakes on. lol
