Sorry, you could be a super model with a perfect figure, but you will only attract shallow guys. And have short relationships with them. Most men eventually stop looking for a Pretty girl and start dating the ones with personality. So stop dieting and just be yourself for a little bit. You would be surprised.
I used to be 5'6" and weighed 49kg. I am now happier, even though I'm over 70kg! I wish I could be thinner, but as I grew older, I now care less of what people think of me than when I was a teenager! Hey, you only live once so eat that cake if you want to!
For me, I wanna be skinny cuz I know I'll have more confidence. Being fat at my short height made me shy and akward. I started getting fat once my parents got divorce cuz my dad wasnt a good parent in the feeding section. It became a habit and I grew up fat in a school were looks were what mattered. I was never excluded but I wasnt invited to anything either. For me, being skinny will help me open up and be pretty and confident. I dont wanna be skin and bones but flat and not look pregnant. =/
Yeah people lose focus and start bashing overweight or underweight people. People have their preferences, but don't let it stop your world. I say take me as I am or take none of me. Desperation looks bad on anyone. Maintaining what's healthy for you should be priority. Why break our backs for someone to think we look good when really they are not anything related or whom we're sleeping with?
The problem here is not fatness/thinness its a symptom of something much more i.e. our mental instability
Being a women is very fair, if you are skinny and hot then you'll get whatever you want, if you are not then, well you're screwed. It's very linear, the hotter you get the better you'll get treated, and vise-versa. It's good that girls see this and try to move up the scale to get treated better, but they have a problem accepting their place if they can't. I'm a good looking guy and 105-115 is the weight limit i have for girls that i would date.
@steveo20007 Congratulations that your weight-restrictive standards have enabled you to date women without any standards. Power based on subjective attractiveness is not something the woman possesses but only what a heterosexual man grants her. It's bullshit.
You want my opinion of sexy and beautiful? Being healthy and "normal". By normal, I mean that i wouldn't want to say "damn, lose weight," or "damn, eat a cracker you anorexic twig." There's no good reason (unless you have disorders or actual medical issues) to be fat or skinny to the bone. Eat normally, sleep, exercise, and look... Normal! I say that word a lot, but only because it needs to be the marker by which we measure ourselves. Can you jog a mile or two without dying (fat or anorexic)?
@ab19201920 I dislike the term normal because it states that there should be a standard which is what causing these disorder to begin with. After all, what happens if people can't live up to those standards of what normal is? We're back to where we are now. Body obsession needs to stop completely. People ought to be whatever best fits for themselves...fuck the standards & normal. This idea of "normal" & standards has to be tossed out of the window if the human race wants any future. Peace.
why dont you just...not be fat? Not only does it give you the benefits of looking good BUT YOU ARE HEALTHY. Regardless of being fat making you ugly ITS UNHEALTHy.
1. "Just not being fat" is not an option, or not a healthy option, for everyone.
2. "Just not being fat" is not nearly enough to measure up to the standards of beauty in the media. Most women of so-called healthy weight or fat % are bigger than the models and movie stars held up as ideal.
Eating disorders (EDs) have a huge genetic component and there is a lot more to these illnesses than desiring a thin body. Despite the suggestion that we have an 'epidemic' of (clinical) EDs - we actually don't.
That said, I do agree that we now live in a society surrounded by vacuous consumer advertising, dreadful celebrity culture and equally dreadful magazines that harp on about who's fat/thin etc.
Studies have shown that culture alone doesn't cause EDs. Disordered eating maybe.
According to social scientists, EDs are socially constructed. I am inclined to side with the neurophysiologists who emphasise that people are or are not born with susceptibility to developing EDs, depending upon how their brain is wired. EDs are often pre-dated by childhood anxiety disorders.
Furthermore, EDs can be 'non-fat-phobic'. I was severely anorexic for years. No amount of 'body image' work would have helped me. What helped was when therapists stopped focusing on weight and shape.
@misstiggykins THANK YOU! It is infuriating to have a serious mental illness - like schizophrenia or Asperger's - written off as cultural vanity. Disordered eating and eating disorders are separate issues people keep conflating so they might better understand a compulsion so contradictory to basic survival instinct. Someone who looks at a model and feels bad isn't starving themselves for the same reasons someone who was sexually assaulted as a child and has a damaged GABA receptor does, right?
There's nothing wrong with being beautiful. Their is an ideal look and that has been progranned in us from nature. Why are people considered ugly? Fatness represents illness . Beauty equals health.
If there is an ideal 'look' that has been programmed in us from nature, then why does the criteria for that look continually change? The body mass index of women has been idealized very differently throughout our history; the Victorian era considered overweight women to be beautiful and prestigious, the 20's saw a more masculine look as beautiful, anorexic figures did not come into fashion until the 60's, and plastic surgery enhancement is very recent. Beauty is socially constructed, not innate.
Nature has an ideal for healthy species. Beauty translates to health. Health is paramount to propagation. Good looking people will always be more desirable bed mates because it is healthy to be beautiful. There is a parallel to ugliness and sickness.
Women have different heights, frame sizes and natural body shapes. Just because a particular shape gives you a boner doesn't mean it's healthy or reasonable for all women to try to force themselves into it.
awesome- i sent some photos to the email address posted and would love to do whatever else i could do to help....i think this looks like an incredible idea- I'm very excited for y'all and can't wait to see the finished product!
you have my best lucky, wishes, and prayes <3, kristina
My hormones gave out and my body got fat,.! I will now live on next to nothing so that i can be accepted! Exercise until I drop! Better colapse and die than be fat and unacceptable! That's what our society cares about. When I grew up in the 60's I thought it was about who you are and what you are made of but now I know different, it's only about appearance! I now know the truth!
You are so right with this! I am now 52 as of this past saturday!I am not old inside or out! I am fat though! I was thinner before and I saw the difference in how people treated me compared to now. My hormones gave out and my body got fat, now I have no choice but to STARVE MYSELF! literally! I will now live on next to nothing so that i can be accepted!! Exercise until I drop! Better colapse and die than be fat and unacceptable!
dschwartz33 and durge - you're both pricks who are more than likely fat and living in your parent's basement. Grow the f'k up.
A woman is far more attractive with 20-30lbs extra weight, than being 20-30lbs under weight. Seeing bone isn't healthy, nor sexy. You want that? Go dig up a skeleton and f'k it.
Dicks like you are why there are so many f'kd up, image-obsessed girls today. Always pushing them to lose weight. Take them as they are, f'k heads.
@stubbles775th you are absolutely correct, it breaks my heart to see these beautiful, intellient young girls hating themselves because of some unrealistic ideal that not even supermodels themselves can live up to; what's being photoshopped when a model is 6' tall and weighs less than 110 lbs? it's nonsense. it starts when boys are taught by society to work on being smart and active while girls are taught to care about their appearance god forbid we have more to offer than a vagina
I think you girls are doing an amazing and brave thing. I will email you a website that i think goes really well with what you're doing. This film is what i hope my 4 year old sees when she is older. I wouldn't wish any kind of ed on anyone and i dread that my Daughter could also develop one. I am a true believer in knowledge is power. Keep up the great work girls!!!
I made a documentary about the blessings and curses of being beautiful and learned two things: 1) being beautiful is overrated and 2) people's definition of beauty in real life is different than that portrayed by the media. See response video above.
dont forget that we used to hunt our food or till on farmland and get something called, exercise. we used to have to physically work for our food and i dont mean sitting in an office cubicle.
Haha, if these girls are anything like you I will be greatly concerned. First of all you metioned genetically predisposed; he already mentioned and the solution was plastic surgery. Who gave you the right to decide that convenience is laziness!? That's right no one so shut it. Ever heard that emulation is the greatest form of flatery? Clearly not, well you are obviously not a true American or human being.

those fat girls should diet. it's totally disgusting. not our image-obcessed culture, i am talking about fatties wearing bikinis and shopping in victoria's secret
just let Hollywood fail. They're killing this country, if nobody supports this ideal image then let capitalism run its course, dont buy their product, now talk about real change? Screw polosi, obama, mccain, and everyother hack politico. Time for a revolution?
hollywood killing this country? time for a revolution? shut up ron paul. we need hollywood and their "unrealistic" portrayals of women to motivate the fat girls to lose weight.
she's full of herself, which gives credence to my point? and her lips are too big! Ron Paul or big government, I'll go Paul. The guy does come of flaky, though?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Durge is right. girls should strive to be as beautiful as the models on magazine covers whether or not is possible. you cant lose weight on an american diet of mcdonalds and burger king. they should get off their fat asses and go to the gym, or get plastic surgery. also, durge is right about that douche ron paul. Jews for Obama!
