Its a better viewpoint than balljointnuts constructive criticism of the subject...
I just wanted to throw this out there:
EVERYONE is aware of the NEGATIVE stigmas/health concerns for people who are overweight. So pointing out the obvious is kind of redundant. Defeats the actual purpose of the article. It is not a "Fat is Good" article. It's written by a body image professional & was meant to give a different look at body issues from a more positive light.
The point of the article is that in order to make changes to be healthy, you HAVE to love yourself. Its about the MENTAL aspect of being overweight. The mental anguish inflicted on the overweight population is incredible. If you think about it any changes we make to our lifestyles, is 90% mental & 10% physical (not actual statistics just meant to show the relationship between the two). If you are stuck in a pattern of self loathing, which most overweight people are, learning to love who you are at your wost is the first step in that direction. Who's going to want to do that though, with most of society saying you are disgusting?!?
Let me guess, you've never had this problem. Wanting to not be fat but hating yourself so much you can't change.
Well I can't tell you either because I have NEVER felt this way & I have been 5'7 & a size 12+ my ENTIRE life. I have always been on the taller/heavier side of average girls, even though I have spent most of my life playing organized sports & being somewhat healthy. Guess what. IM STILL A BIG GIRL. The difference between me & most "fat girls" is I have ALWAYS owned my body. I have always felt beautiful & sexy. I never let it be an option for someone to tell me otherwise. I was active & healthy, & refused to let anyone instill that kind of self loathing inside of me. I am now several children heavier & a size 18/20, guess what, I STILL love my body!! I have NEVER had a problem "finding" a man or even finding a HOT man. You are wrong about that one. I have fucked, dated, & loved some unbelievably gorgeous gentlemen in my personal life... I am talking male model beautiful.
I know it may be hard for some to fathom, but the demand for big beautiful women is there... personally & professionally. You call them chubby chasers, I call them lovers & friends
