I once told this dude, can you please close your legs a bit... my twat needs breathing room too, thanks.

He was like

Honey, reach down there and grab that damn dick. That bastard will either close those damn legs real quick or he'll open them even wider for you to get a better feel. If he objects, just tell him you thought he was giving you an open invitation since he spread his legs so far apart. Either way, you'll get a cheap thrill out of it.

This is why I love you!

Right.

I think what you really mean to say is that poor people drain the economy. Now it all makes sense. It's cheaper to buy shitty food, in fact in most low income areas you may not even find a grocer that sells fresh fruits or vegetables. You're missing a lot of variables. Pay rent or spend that amount at a Whole Foods spot? It doesn't give anyone a pass, but you are being REALLY obtuse.

So I guess along the lines of your thinking maybe smokers should be taxed independently? Or how about the elderly? Their medical needs become expensive too. Perhaps we should just euthanize them all, huh?

My shit pretty much stinks, just like everyone else's does. But I don't blame economical strain on one group of people.

With all due respect, i think you jumped the gun on my comments. Sure fat people drain the economy, as well as thin and all other shapes and sizes. But my original comment about the taxpayer was valid in my opinion. By fat i mean reeealy fat. Now do you honestly hand on heart believe that as a society, we should let huge fat people eat til their at risk heart is content? Without saying anything about it???? Look back, you pounced on me because i agreed with a poster's view that, as a society we should have every right to comment on extremely fat people. Do you think turning a blind eye to it is acceptable?

You know I'm sure I pounced because I know how one can get so huge. Most of the time they slip into a depression and instead of drugs, gambling, whatever, they eat. Everyone has a vice, everyone.

But at this point I can say that I really just agree to disagree with you. I think your feelings on the subject are a little assanine, but I can just disagree.

None taken. I find that a lot of people will say "hey, go take a walk!" And I'll be like, "I hike a mountain a few times a week, care to join?" And they're like...um....

So I see your point. I felt clumped into a category, as we solid chicks usually are. But I'm far fitter than the average slim person, so I take it quite seriously. I'm eye to eye with you now. I'm seeing where you are coming from.

That's cool....I really didn't mean any offence at my comments, and I guess it could have read that I was assuming all larger women are unfit (and I certainly know that's not the case, my missus being a perfect example of a fit larger woman).

That's awesome that you go mountain hiking regularly! Where abouts are you from? I'm in the south east UK, we don't have any mountains to trek unfortunately, but there are some great hill walks if you know where to look.

I live in the South. In Georgia, not the country, but the state! It's the FATTEST region of the US. Southerners love to eat and eat fried, buttered, greasy morsels of food! Some places you go to eat don't have a thing remotely healthy on the menu but Diet Coke!

I hike up Kennesaw Mountain at least every Saturday morning only. It's an hour long hike sized mountain.

It's all good! I can be hyper-sensitive to the topic. I'll admit.

Wow, that's so cool...Georgia looks like a lo vely region from what I've seen.

I've been lucky enough to do two tours in the US, one around the East (New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, Niagra) and one in the West (Arizons, Grand Canyon, Vegas, LA, San Francisco) and its my favourite place ever! I loved being on the road out there. I couldn't get over how large the open spaces were and the massive areas of woodland, desert, etc...you really could head off on your own adventure if you wanted!

Oh, and the food I had over there was delicious (if a bit unhealthy, but hey, we were on holiday! ) We're hoping to go back and do the south east corner soon, so hopefully we'll get to Georgia then and maybe even Kennesaw Mountain!

Umm these women are overweight. Not saying they're not beautiful but not overweight? You know it's not even about health as yes, anyone and everyone gets sick. It’s simply about living life. I've never reached the weight of these girls in the photoshoot but even at my heaviest there was a remarkable difference in how much effort it took me to do things. Walking up the stairs, doing the housework, my job etc. Once I lost the extra few kilos nothing felt like an effort. Obviously this won’t be true for the girls that starve themselves thin. But when you truly live a healthy lifestyle eating small portions and exercising regularly, the simple things in life are so much more fulfilling. And honestly every single big person I know lives an unhealthy lifestyle. And yes I know many thin people do too (and I have issues with smokers and other health hazards as well) but if you naturally have a tendency to store weight more than usual it just a fact of life that you have to work harder to keep it off (I accept I’m one of these people, there are other people that struggle with acne and other things that I dont have to). Honestly though I don’t truly care if big people have no inclination to do simple things more easily. I’m just saying why I like being smaller weight.

I wonder why in every discusson about not skinny women the skinny ones have to be ridiculed. Why can't people just accept that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes?

Amen to that

I thought everyone agreed that they were overweight. The issue was, are they seen as beautiful despite their size?

Oh, and the mindset that obese people are all sloths is just wrong. I am obese and I can move. I know some may have physical issues, but that is not one I have despite being 215 lbs. I am on medication (steroids) for asthma, I feel healthier now than I did when I was slender ironically.

I am trying to lose weight now, but not through dieting. I just am trying to wean myself off these damn steroids and keep eating healthy foods in smaller portions.

I just have an issue with people assuming that all fat people aren't active at all and eat junk because they don't care about themselves.

You just don't know that until you know WHY someone has gaind weight in the first place.

Is it just me, or am I seeing more white & asian ladies with bodies like their black & latino sisters? It wasn't like this when I was in high school back in the 70s. It's all good.

It might depend more on their regional/cultural background because the diets differ depending on where you come from. Insofar as my Asian sistahs, I always see a marked difference between Japanese, Chinese, Fillipino, and Thai, with my Japanese homegirls tending to be thinnest (as the basis of their diet not only includes white rice, but brown rice, buckwheat noodles, and endless seaweed, fish, naked veggies). My Filipino girls, though...they got some hips on them, Chile

I'm a fattie by any standard, and I have no problem finding people who want to date/fuck/love me. I'm confident, I take good care of myself. . . I'm attractive.

People just don't like to admit it when they're into big girls. But lots are.

The one who is currently dating me says it's because I'm the woman of his dreams and he loves me and thinks I'm hot.

It's not a holiday for most Americans! I'm assuming that's why other countries are now facing an obesity issue too? KFC, Piaa Hut, McDonald's and all our other spoils are accross the globe now.

THere is so much variation in the US and it's a shame most people most likely won't see all of it. I mean right now I'd rather go on a European holiday than the States. I should want to do both!

I just finished my legs set and hiked a trail today. And I'm a chunk! been a chunk all my life and played basketball, vollyball, shot and discuss. But always was a chunk. So the misconception is SO untrue.

I like a woman with a little meat on her bones. More cushion for the pushin' I always say. But, having said that, it doesn't mean I want anything like this:

^^^^ Now this here, I think mobility is an issue. I am fat and sport an apron of flesh but I can still move. I feel worried for some who get so depressed that they stop moving, this can be extremes to this also, extremely emaciated women don't move that much at all either, and in both extremes it should be a call to action set in place for loved ones to help them.

I only knew one woman that big, she didn't leave her house at all. So no one saw her, her kids would buy her tons of fast food and brought it to her bedside. She was my mom's friend, she died shortly after gaining 100 pounds after having bypass surgery one year before. Being fat didn't kill her, depression did. She would keep telling us she didn't want to live after the death of her husband.

Why won't anyone address this?

But not all media makes men appear that way. Even when they are making a serious show or movie, or in real life relationships involving athletes, musicians, rappers, etc. Never I have seen (or if I did it was canceled) a handsome, gorgeous man on the arm of a very full-figured and homely woman. NEVER! You will find the ugliest male (Jay Z, Mike Tyson) with the most gorgeous, slim, model-looking female...but you will never see the opposite.

The only show that came close if I recall is Sister/Sister where Jackee was full figured and there was some sexual tension between her and Tim Reid.

I was more responding to a few people at the start that said they werent overweight, not everyone. And I'm not saying all people who are overweight are sloths. My Auntie who is overweight around the upper body area is always on the go. I'm just saying the things she does would be 10 times easier to do without the weight. She has the energy to do it but I see her struggling with it simply because of the extra weight around her. Like I said 5 - 10 extra kilos slows me down by a bit, and it was literally a weight lifted off my shoulders when I lost it. I'm just trying to explain a better benefit of losing weight then just looking thin that I'd never thought about before untill it happened to me.

Ok, I see what you mean. I do want to be slim again since I miss wearing the clothesthat I used to wear when I was smaller.

Big women have fewer style options, more than before, but fewer choices than slender women. I just miss the "drape" my clothes used to have. This is why I want to lose weight. I miss the shopping.

I know exactly what you mean.

It's not everyone, but the same thing happened to me.

I went from a size 6 to a 14 over a few years. I know to some people that's nothing, but those 45 extra pounds were a lot for my 5'2" frame.

My classroom was on the 3rd floor in a big old building; I'd get winded and have to stop on the 2nd landing- and forget it if I was carrying books and things.

My ankles were swollen, my knees hurt, my blood pressure was high, and I was pre-diabetic. My doctor put me on a diet.

Now I hover between a 6 and 8 (closer to 8)... and I feel much better.
