This. So much. I mean, if you are happy at your size, I'm not going to mess with you. It is your body. However, you shouldn't lie to yourself and say that you are "the healthiest you have ever been." If you are overweight, and not a serious athlete, you probably aren't super healthy.I'd support anyone in being happy whatever size they are, or want to be, but to call it beautiful is taking things a step too far. Skinny just looks better.
(I'm responding to the portion that I underlined.) You're so right. Some people think that fat = curvy = good. Not so. Even though I personally don't want to be anything other than skinny, I think that for other people, curvy can look good. However, fat? Not so much: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=curv...&tbnw=213&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0Totall agree! Think there is a fine line between 'curvy' and 'fat'. It should not be celebrated or encouraged, being fat is unhealthy.
Agreed!I'd support anyone in being happy whatever size they are, or want to be, but to call it beautiful is taking things a step too far. Skinny just looks better.
.I think they need a good wake-up call and be told that its not okay, rolls don't count as curves, and they really need to sort themselves out!
YES. GOD. It happens all over Facebook all the time and I hate keeping my mouth shut. A seriously hideous person from way back in high school posted a picture of herself, at least 70 pounds overweight, in skinny jeans ready for a night out, with the caption "Big curvy girl are in style too!".
I cannot stand it when obviously fat people declare themselves as "curvy". It's like you're fooling yourself but you aint fooling the rest of us who can see you for the disgusting chubster that you are. xx
Here here!YES. GOD. It happens all over Facebook all the time and I hate keeping my mouth shut.

I'll leave the spelling out of it, but--I honestly think that curvy is based on bone structure and genetics, not on how much food you pour into your mouth. If you have a large bust, a small waist, and wider hips, you qualify as curvy. You know. Scarlett Johansson curvy. You qualify as "fat" if you have fat rolls. Stop snagging the "curvy" description from legit curvy girls.
This is exactly how I feel! I hate when people try to make overweight sound better by calling it "curvy". Curvy is just your WHR, and skinny people can be curvy.YES. GOD.

^^^^ This.Very true.
This whole "fat acceptance" idea is just an excuse to keep staying fat, and/or trying to make their obese selves feel better about their condition.
An exercise in futility, in both cases, imho.
One of the scariest lines - "...and with Britain getting fatter, their voices will only get louder."Has anyone seen THIS video series before? It's a documentary called "Fat and Proud"
*Warning: it's full of awful, ignorant FAT girls ... whales...*
Okay, so it's mean to shout stuff at strangers. But surely these women would approve of a night club and dance class exclusively for girls UK size 8 and under then? If this "fat movement" takes over the world then it might be necessary...Has anyone seen THIS video series before? It's a documentary called "Fat and Proud"

Let's be fair, it should be based on bmi or something, otherwise curvy skinnies wouldn't get in!Okay, so it's mean to shout stuff at strangers.

And I agree: they do sound ignorant. Stop saying you're better than everyone 'cos you're fat?! -.-
