I'm 5'4" and I'm overweight and I just wanted to tell you I completely agree with you. I am working hard to get my weight down and so far so good. I know it is unhealthy to be this big. Glamorizing being overweight is not good for society at all! And those of you who are naturally tall and thin definitely don't deserve to have your self-esteem torn down!

yeah, I'm slim, athletic and have low body fat, cause I train hard, feel so unreal right now :P

Yes, I also don't like how people boost their self-esteem at someone else's cost. Every time a guy hits on me by badmouthing skinnier people (or shorter, or darker, or paler, or people with tatoos or any other kind of people) I just get out and leave. It just proves he's a mean small-minded person and it's offensive to assume I will feel flattered by putting other girls down. So I'm all with you. Still, you kind of just did the same thing. You feel frustrated by lack of equal representation in articles on Bored Panda? Then imagine how frustrated big people are by lack of equal representation in real life. So please don't jump into hate competition just because you were the less privileged for once.

I personally think all body types have their ups and downs. As a very tall woman, it's sometimes awkward to be among my much shorter peers, but then again I like being tall. Everyone should be comfortable with how they were born and accept the difficulties and benefits that come along 😊

When my son was in his 20's people would always comment on how thin he was, He would reply, "If I was fat, you wouldn't say anything about it." Why do people think insulting thin people is ok?

Well... I do really hate ppl constantly fighting invisible wars to be honest. This whole justice warrior s**t is getting really old really fast

Ummmm I'm sorry but, skinny people are always in the spotlight.Be cool with yourself and take a compliment.... lots of people would stop eating to be your size honey.... Take your ego and have compassion towards other people...because everything can't be about everyone. Also I always say don't be jealous, be happy for. :)

Look, I do agree that the media has glamourized extremely thin no

It's referred like that because every ad out there and the society in general will say that a woman NEEDS to be thin, tall, want children and be in a relationship or else she is "not a woman".

You're right... I mean, there aren't magazines after magazines after tv show after tv show after billboard ad after billboard all about how beautiful you are IF you're skinny... right? I think this is a perfect example of how you can flip ANYTHING into a "poor me" argument.. Hilarious.

The whole world makes thin people feel good about themselves. What you're saying is like wanting a hetero pride parade.

Society as a whole makes thin people feel good about themselves. Let someone else have a turn.

This model is hardly "obese".

Yea she's not like as huge as other models I've seen, then again I rarely look at magazines, but being overweight etc isn't really healthy :/ I'm tryna lose weight myself, so far so good, but if people said to me "but ur curvy why change that " like those aren't curves it's fat hahaha no muscles it's just all squishy. But rather be fit than anything

Perfectly put Demi. The others saying this model is not obese or "the other extreme" are out of their minds. This normalization of obesity needs to stop, it's not healthy.

This lady is definitely not the other extreme....

Unless you are a person's personal physician you have absolutely no way of knowing how healthy a person is. The takeaway here is not that being a larger size is better than being a smaller size, or vice versa. It's that extreme expectations for women's bodies should be a thing of the past. Also, I agree with manowce, what do you mean by "undies presented like that"? On a person? And damn straight she is by no means ugly. She is f*****g GORGEOUS. Lastly "this is the other extreme"??? Uh, not unless you live in District 12 of Panem.

no one is "pushing for obesity". yes, It may cause health problems, but that doesn't mean someone who is overweight is ugly. and it sure as hell doesn't mean we can't show that body type in commercials, because there are a lot of people like that. yes, we should all try to be healthy, but that does't mean that in a meantime we have to wear sheets instead of sexy stuff. also: what do you mean "undies presented *like that*"? like what? on a body? how is this affecting your shopping decisions? I just look if those are my style and colour, not who is wearing them.

She's not obese. Jesus. You think THAT is obese?? What are you, anorexic?

I wish people would stop referring to underweight people as slender. But the whole under and over concept is so outdated, I can't believe people still bother with it! I mean, sure, every body has a weight that is not enough and one that is too much. But it's not the same for everybody. My friend was told by her doctor to stop dieting when she was size 14 because she was already severely malnutritioned. The same doctor adviced a size 10 girl to watch her weight. That's because he actually run all the proper tests. But who cares with all the blood and urine and stuff, it's not like it's written on people's foreheads and we just need to judge on one glance, right?

Not all bigger people are unhealthy. It depends on the person. Conversely, there are some skinny people who are terribly unhealthy and don't take care of themselves. You can't tell by looking, so stop playing doctor.

Don't be jealous....be happy for

She's not overweight. Unless you're from Japan where women in this size are seen as overweight.

I believe when blogs or articles stating that “real” women are this or that, it’s simply referring to women without photoshop or unrealistic measurements.
