Fat & Beautiful, or just fat?
This link is talking about Tess Holliday, who is a plus-sized model (size 20 American, UK 24).
I pose this question to you.... do you agree with her message?
I, personally, love that she promotes self-love and not self-hate. If we all should be so lucky to feel comfortable in our bodies. However, part of me feels like she's also promoting something unhealthy (obesity).
What's your opinion? DISCUSS!
[b]EDIT:[/b] Do you think that if she were a MAN, that society would be saying "love yourself"? I feel like there's a huge double standard here when it comes to males and females being happy with their body sizes.

1 ReplyObesity is a health issue, and it's a serious one. But the conversation about it tends to center around self-image and self-worth, and the fact that obese people should not feel good about either of those things. And we associate obesity with negative character traits and lifestyles. So, as long as obesity is framed in these terms, it's going to hurt our ability to talk about the only part of it that matters: health. I see "activists" like Tess Holiday as a reactionary or counterbalancing force. I mean, "All About That Bass" would have no lyrics if fat people hadn't been told that they should feel bad about they way they look or that nobody would find them attractive.
