it's hard to be a big girl. for many reasons. so it's nice when someone tells me it's okay that I"m chubby.

What idiots those fashion magazine people are - they spout trivial rubbish as if they are saying great truths. It's apparently a 'new thing' to see a fat woman presented as being sexy. What crap.

Fat is actually MORE attractive on a woman. It's amazing how an extra inch of exposed chunky thigh always seems more revealing than an extra inch of skinny thigh. That's because the Eve Hormone Oestrogen resides in a woman's fat. Thus making women with more fat more feminine. Especially if the fat is on the hips and thighs. No high art has images of big-breasted women. The masters of long ago understood it's the hips that count for fertility.

i'm the fashion industry is full of fags who don't know shit about plus models other than lowering their self-esteem and confidence.

@popvids40 It isn't fair to judge other people by the standards that you have set for yourself. If you had a weight problem and decided to do something about it then that's your personal choice, you have a right to make that choice for yourself and only yourself. You don't have the right to tell other people that they should be slim too. Other people can be fat if they wish. How would you like it if I constantly made a point of telling you that you are too thin?!

Wow! Dawn is a real beauty! She's lost weight now and is down to a size 16 but she doesn't really need to lose any more. Personally I think she's ravishing.

A lot of people mistakenly relate size to attractiveness when really it's about proportion and symmetry. Dawn has an extra voluptuous hourglass figure, shapely legs and a very pretty face.

Now I'm not saying that thinness isn't attractive either but slim women still need balanced curves for me to find them appealing e.g. Uma Thurman.

fat = disgusting

The reason chubby flesh is not shown more often in magazines is that it's actually so much more desirable to the male sensibility than twiggy flesh. It's almost as if the magazines don't want to overload people's senses by showing big women because to see a chubby bit of flesh is more confronting, since the chubbiest bits of women are often concealed, i.e. breasts, bum, belly. So to see a chubby woman uncovered is like seeing her more naked, in a sense, and therefore, more arousing.

If you're living a good/moderate/healthy lifestyle, then it's OK. Don't focus on dress size or lbs.- forcus on HEALTH. I have women in my family who are around 120-180 lbs. and they ALL look lovely.

These magazine people are pigs! I'll take Dawn French over a truckload of those Fifth Avenue Pixie Stix that pass for models now any day. Let Mel Gibson have 'em!

@MsSfarr with all respects, you see lots of fat people in Walmart. There could be many reasons for that though.
