yep i still love you, and you should be a motivational speaker, your words are so beautiful, and you actually think before you say something that is so rare for some people

You crack me up, quiet!

I agree..people should accept themselves and each other for who and what they are..but speaking as one of the people who IS different and the world has NO problem showing me that I am..That will never change..If you don't look like the girls/guys in Hollywood then you may as well be an alien from outer space.

i guess your right, im a freakin alien then lol, well ill be safe in space when the world goes to hell on a silver platter

You can hitch a ride in my spaceship Queen..lol..You know us aliens got to stick togther!..lol

ill tell u this.. i knew a gal same height as me 5'4.. only i weighed 124 and very lean... her.. 92 lbs! yes she wore a bikini on our water volley ball weekends.. and ill tell you call her fat if u wish but she had more cottage cheese than a 150 lb gal at her height! cottage cheese does not come with weight.. it comes with lack of muscle and leanness!

freak yeah, cuz i dont have gas money lol

yep, but some guys do love a big ***, so nothing wrong with it

Stereotype that fit is thin also.

There is a certain amount of fat we can have before our health is effected. So thin is not the sign of health or fitness.

Like I said before I am not thin and never will be. I do not want my health to be effected by being too overweight so I eat healthier and I do exercise.

I quit eating fried foods and sodas twenty years ago. It did not make me thin but I believe my health is as good as it is because I did so.

I will not tell anyone else how to live and what to eat. It is their right to live how they wish.

But fat can be attractive just as skinny can be.

People are people and they can act beautifully, showing respect for all or they can act ugly and have prejudice and hatred.

I agree with you; its a health issue which can lead to diabetes and heart attack. I want to be with someone a long time and don't want him to die just because he won't exericse or lose weight.

i have diabetes, and ive been living fine with it, and so are alot of other people who have it too,dont count us out so easily


My brother has diabetes; was type 2 and now type 1 because he wouldn't lose weight. He had 4 heart attacks and a stroke. That should be a wake up call to anyone with a brain in their head. I wouldn't date a man that would endanger his life because he hasn't got the common sense to stay fit. I am a large girl myself and will never be thin but I sure as hell can stay fit. I don't want to burden our health care system for something I can fix myself.

Its actually not ALWAYS unhealthy..I have seen some very healthy larger people..It just depends on the inner health of the person..If the heart,lungs,etc etc are healthy I don't see anything wrong with being bigger..SIZE does not always make the difference..alot of people refuse to see that people can be too skinny just as they can be too big

and no there is not... however that is a personal preference.. i just know im not comfortable with my outsides.. my buttis i am lol! its my gut!!.. and im just saying everyones body is different... there really arent that many barbie dolls out there.. and sponge or cottage cheese does not come with weight..spongiest guy i dated was 5'11 and 135 lbs! i think the least spongiest guy i dated was 5'9 and 280!

yes that is what im talking about!...

im sorry to hear that i truly am, but being fat isnt his only problem, u can be big and be healthy,people should try to help them stay healthy, rather try to entirely change who they are, and you can help your brother as well, please do that, but other people in the world need to learn to live with us and help us be healthy not lose so much weight

I have no issues with people big or small, I just think that a person should be healthy and able to live a good life....

But it upsets me when I see posts that ask others to not judge them and accept them for who they are and then go on to state things like this..."oh and big women are more pleasant to be around and not so bitter"

jmo...

This thread is laoded with women agreeing but, I'd like to hear from more men. I'll have to agree to disagree. I'm small & will do my darndest to stay that way!!! I wouldn't say I'm any sexier than anyone else & less so than many. But, at least I'm happy in my own skin.

the outside of a person does not make the person! its within... fat, obese, lean, skinny... none of that matters on attitude.. now attitude does make a difference o being pleasant to be around.. how one carries their self has not a thing to do with weight.

Awakening people into conciousness is fine...yet there will always be people who are going to judge...no matter what they see. The more educated and exposed to the world, the less a person will have to say about another. When a person walks into a room, most will run through a quick mental checklist on how this person appears- from clothes to looks to presence. People still have a long way to go with such a easy chore on clearer ways to view life.
