Hello admin, I own a coffee blog, could I use some of the info from this page if I put a link back to your blog?

I think it’s great the Nimoy is challenging how we look at beauty. Beauty isn’t only Heidi Klum or Daniel Craig.

Ok, all I want to say is I am a bigger woman. I get regular check-ups of cholesterol, blood pressure, heart, diabetes etc, etc.
I am very healthy. I am 34, and a size 16 to 17 and 5’4″ {I am disabled, but still I go out and walk. I am a Semi-Retired Vet Tech/Assistant.}
I have junk in the trunk (as they say) and I love it! I live in the cold North of Canada and its called insulation. LOL

I walk everyday with my dog (she is 10 years old) and watch what I eat. Our genetics is part of all our DNA when it comes to being bigger. Why starve ourselves to look like something were not???
Not everyone can be 135lbs and 5’4″ and feel good about them selves. If you feel good at 165lbs and 5’4″ then be so. Like good grief. There are so many stereo types out there and racism. There are war waged in Religion…whats next, picking up Arms coz one side thinks you should be smaller or bigger than you should be? *sighs*
We have enough to worry about other than who is fat and who is skinny. Like if some dummy is going to press a button and were all going to glowing in the dark because of Radiation poisoning.
Just coz one lady looks one way does not mean everyone should.
Some are meant to be big and some are meant to be small. Just like height.
The same with guys.

I am not saying that being morbidly obese is good for ya…neither is being bone thin (Anorexic) either.

But just coz your big does not mean your 100% sure to be eating all the time, nor does it mean immediate Diabetes.

Also the whole being sexy or not on the outside to guys or girls is irrelevant. Its how you feel about yourself inside. It radiates on the out side. That is why there is different men and women. Some are attractive to some, but not others. It is in our genetic structure to be so.

I say Mr. Nimoy has the right idea.
Everyone should be accepted for who they are, no matter what their size is.

I’ll leave you all with this…
“Fat is just skinny with an attitude!!!”

Don’t like it…Don’t look at it…is my attitude!!!

IMHO, of course.

You know, the bigger society gets, the more we’re told by various mediums to ‘accept’ it. Ya know why? because its a shit load easier than putting down the oreo, getting off your fat ass and going for a walk.

Those women aren’t a ‘little overweight’ or ‘voluptous’ they’re O B E S E.

I have to agree with elisha. I think that being extremely overweight is similar to being extremely underweight. As a society we say that anorexia is a disease and for the most part I believe we do not, as a whole glamorize it. We say that these people need help. People who are obese run the risk of severe damage to their bodies just as people who are underweight. I admire Dr. Spock for what he is trying to do but at the same time I worry that it might encourage society to accept that being obese is not something to frankly address just as anorexia does.

Awww, now I loves me some Nimoy even more! And to all my sisters that I see here are who working on being healthy rather than working on conforming to an ideal: I’m right there with ya! Devilgirl, you’re so right, you can’t please everyone and trying to do so will kill you. Working on pleasing yourself! (and distribute unconditional compliments to friends and family at every opportunity)

I just find it rather amusing how all the anti fatties always point out that is it isn’t “healthy.”
As if you really care
PFFFFT

While it is admirable that Nimoy wants to point out the beauty in these women, let’s face it, the book is not going to be a best seller, nor will it change the ages old debate on fat vs. skinny. Unfortunately the coffee table book will more than likely be a source for ridicule, rather than a pictoral eye opener showing the beauty of those with “Rubenesque” figures. I have been on both ends of the spectrum weight wise. I was always “encouraged” to lose a few pounds after I started college. Comments like “your cheeckbones would be so pretty if you just took off a few pounds” or “You need to lose that “baby fat” (which was actually Dorito and Taco Bell fat!) When I lost weight and not intentionally losing more than I should have, I had people telling me how gaunt, sickly, unattractive I was. “A few pounds you would be stunning!” I came to the conclusion that no matter who you are, famous or not, fat or skinny, toned or flabby, there are always people who criticize you on how they think you should look. Society, as a whole, is an unhappy bunch. We always have a beauty ideal to comment or complain about. Rarely do we say “They look great”, there is always something to pick on and tear apart. I am guilty of it myself. The topic of weight is as controversial these days as politics and religion, maybe even more so.

“Some instincts are intrinsic… because generally well-proportioned women (wider hips than waist, ample bosom, etc.) are more likely to be fertile and survive childbirth.”

You might want to look at your own brainwashing quotient. Breast size has absolutely NOTHING to do with fertility or successful breast feeding. If it did, the whole of Asia would look a lot different.

“People who are saying that fat is gross etc, are usually really obsessed with how THEY look.”

I’m not self-obsessed and I’m saying that fat is gross. No, I don’t hate fat people and I think they can look when clothed. Women especially can get away with a bit of extra weight. But have you ever had a boyfriend who developed a pot belly? I have. Trust me, it’s foul. My disgust had nothing to do with his health, it was purely an aesthetic concern.

HA HA Xiaoecho!!!! So true!!

I agree with size not predicting health. People who are saying that fat is gross etc, are usually really obsessed with how THEY look.

Sure most heavy people would like to lose some weight (me included), but I’m not going to sit at home crying and feeling like less of a person.

Fat haters need to leave “fatties” alone and worry about their own lives. It’s each persons own business what they do with their bodies.

I’d rather be fat and happy then thin and miserable!!!
