I am chubby myself, but I am not near healthrisks, I am fat, and I am on a very stable weight, I do not gain nor lose weigh (been the same size over 3 years.) my blood pressure is fine, I dont stuff my face with junk food, I dont sit on my ass alday, I walk atleast an halfhour to college everyday from the station, not immobile

And I love the way chubby/fat looks, I think it looks cute (call me wierd) Big is beautifull!

Just saying you dont have to be unhealthy when fat. same with skinny.

@Dekkaionna Very true! good point you make

While I agree that our culture should promote healthiness. I believe people come in different shapes and sizes. No one should be belittled because they are overweight. The should be given the same treatment. However, I do believe that at some point people need to be told the truth (make sure it is at the right time). I also think Tyra is hypocritical because she does not have fat people in her Top model show.

@Topg1 Thank you! That was my point really. People just have hard time with directness.

..Im a "fat" person but I have to endurance to run miles without stopping and being extremely out of breath. I eat well & my doctor tells me Im healthy...there is also the issue of past lifestyles & such. Its ok to tell your overweight friend not to eat Mcdonalds just like it is to tell anybody just because its not good for you but its wrong to tell a bigger person they are disgusting because their big...its hard to try to change oneself when evrybdy tells you how much they hate who you are

@toyatoy1986 Most people are not saying I'm proud to be obese, most people are struggling with the fact they are obese. In our day people are disgusted by obesity because they are taught to see bigger people as ugly... not because they are concerned for someone's health. So the people you think are screaming, "I'm proud to be fat" are really saying " I know I'm fat but I'm still beautiful". It's all a beauty issue... there are very few people who are really concerned about the health issues.
