Why there is no middle ground in fashion industry? Either models are really skinny or really overweight to the point it's health endangering. Why not show a model who is average healthy size? Thou there is Iskra Lawrence, I just remembered. :)

No. You're morbidly obese. Don't "own" that. It's not a matter of appearance, it's a matter of health.

Diana, you are a beautiful woman. I looked like you at that age. Now I'm 52 and the weight I have carried for the past 35+ years has about destroyed my life. I can't walk with assistance. I can't get up out of chairs. I can barely breath anymore and unfortunately it is a result of the pressure on my joints and muscles that the extra weight contributed too. Love who you are, but please, please to physically keep your body in mind when thinking about your future.

Skinny models: unhealthy Obese models: unhealthy Can’t the industry use regular models, with a healthy weight to promote body positivity and fashion brands (and everything else models promote)? I am sick and tired of seeing obesity promoted as “body positivity” - whatever the cause, obesity is just as unhealthy as anorexia/boulimia and neither of those “body types” should be promoted as a standard of beauty.

I was skinny my whole life until developing a tumor (I named it Marla bc Fight Club) in my noggin. The weight isn’t what’s made me unhealthy, it’s the extra hormones secreted due to Marla that have given me problems. Weight can be a symptom of a different problem. Short version: don’t f____ing judge others, because we’re all on difficult journeys and not all involve Krispy Kremes and corn dogs.

We are put on this earth for a short time and we need to live our lives with Love and understanding. We need to focus on who we are and how we care about each other. Not everyone is overweight due to overeating or eating the wrong food. I would bet that everyone of you that have made a nasty comment either just graze in the back yard or you can eat anything you want and don't gain an ounce. None of us have a right to judge because you don't know if someone is ill and on steroids or has tried numerous times and there are other issues. Who are you to judge? If someone is really skinny do you blame it on NOT eating? I have seen people eat tons of food at meals and don't gain an ounce. STOP JUDGING and see the inner Beauty of someone. You may be walking in their shoes one day.

This same woman has done this same thing before and it's been on BP. It's getting old. We get it, you love your body and like showing off.

I don´t really get the point of "yes, I´m fat but I want to copy supermodels". Just be yourself, grab a book and do something useful

I work out a lot, run, yoga, ruck march, whole nine yards. Someone said to me “wow you must hate your body!” False. I LOVE my body, which I why I work hard to be strong and athletic. I hope the stigma on that changes.

Glamorizing obesity as plus size is unhealthy and gross.

She’s far too gorgeous and creative to care what schmucks have to say about her weight, health or career. She’s hot and successful no matter how much people put her down, which is awesome! I think she is stunning and would be intimidated to talk to her because she’s so pretty :)

Oh look another post telling us it's Ok to be fat.

Not going to get into the "it's unhealthy, it's normal" debate. I'm just flabbergasted by the photoshopped vs original picture. I knew photoshop could make changes but this was truly eye opening. How the hell are you supposed to know who is real anymore??

Bored Panda must stop promoting 'fat acceptance.' Imagine someone with serious obesity issue coming home from a sobering conversation with their physician, who just informed them that they have to lose a significant amount of weight or they will be courting a heart attack. The person has been in denial about their dangerous obesity for some time, but a little voice is starting to speak in their head. A little voice says: 'You have to make a change, you have to put in the hard work and sacrifice it's going to take to reform this problem.' They are starting to get it, they are starting to think: 'Maybe I've been in denial about my obesity. Maybe I'll start exercising and eating better.' But then they go on here or BuzzFeed and see a bunch of posts about 'fat acceptance' and how they can be a 'plus size model'. What does the person think now? Does this person still see a clear message that they need to seek a personal reform? Are they still going to get it?

It would be great if we could promote a positive body image by keeping our clothes on. It doesn't do anything for young girls but make them think they have to take their clothes off.

Sorry, personally I prefer the slimmer version and totally don't like the large one. Hope it's not illegal yet to have personal preferences.

Well even though I struggle against a few extra pounds, seeing this side by side really adjusted my attitude. The one Gal looks like she's dying of something, while the subject looks lush and beautiful. Enlightened.

This is getting insane. All the anti-fat-shaming-campaings went too far. This is a question of health and life style. What´s next? Low IQ scientists? Hand-less brain surgeons? Writers with no vocabulary? Nannies hating kids? Just to not make anybody feel uncomfortable? I think people should do what is best for them based on their skills, experience, and yes, in case of modeling - appearance.

Totally agree with some ladies here. Obesity is the same as being skinny. It is an issue of health and having so much weight on is extremely unhealthy as is being under the normal weight. This is not healthy we should not promote it.

I happen to be fat. Oh, by the way, at 58, I don't happen to have any health problems. But that isn't the issue. My entire life I have been ridiculed for being fat. I don't make fun of anyone for being too skinny. How about looking inside before you assume anything about another person? Then there is the issue that all fat women are old, tasteless people that don't like nice clothes because forever there was nothing but housedresses if you were a , size 22
