With her current figure, at 5'9", I wouldn't consider her fat. She is sitting on the cusp of becoming fat though. Its not going to take a much to push her over the edge, few extra burgers one week, skipping a workout here and there, and boom. Fat.

I'm all for publications avoiding the anorexic models, but its just as bad to promote fat acceptance and the other side of the unhealthy spectrum. They need to be emphasizing fit individuals, people who eat healthy and exercise regularly.

And your responses in this thread and the rape thread are why you'll never get one. You'll be reading ATOT in one window and beating off to the porn in another for the rest of your pathetic life.

Sorry but my gf is not in the least bit fat and has ideal waist-hip proportions. But hey enjoy your fatty

Or put another way I do have the best of both worlds. A skinny girl with appropriate curves. Why do you think I said what I did? :p

She looks better on the left. I stand by my suggestion for her wearing a tasteful tankini instead of a bikini.

LMAO :thumbsup:


the other thing is that Marilyn Monroe's standard was quite different from what it is today. She was gorgeous and fwiw, the woman in the OP is pretty damn gorgeous, as well.

pointing to a fat epidemic and a large portion of obviously obese and unhealthy people looking to defend their bad habits is not the same as demanding everyone look like a size 0 waif. (That is just as unhealthy and disgusting, for one thing).

But their seems to be a growing resentment from an increasingly "embiggening" society that somehow their biological identity is being threatened by a push to be healthy. No, honestly--sorry: most of you were not born to be aft, period. Your lifestyle has made you fat....but I can actually sympathize because the average diet in this country--the supply from which we really have no choice to eat from--has become worse and worse. We simply eat more shit; so-called healthy food is pure shit and more and more people are getting less and less access to quality food sources (populated inner cities with discount grocery markets; rural areas with limited access).

So, in a way, people don't have as much choice about what they eat so much of this tends to be out of their power; but it is also true that the majority of obese persons simply weren't born to be fat.

More info. Not sure if she really weighs 170 lbs. as she estimates. More like 190lbs IMO.

For model, size matters Jennie Runk added weight to become a plus-sized fashion model.

At 5-10 and about 170 pounds (she estimated because she doesn't weigh herself), Runk's measurements are 38-32-44.
A typical size 2-4 model is the same height, but weighs up to 50 pounds less and measures closer to 32-26-35.
So Body mass index (BMI) is 24.4.
She is categorized as normal (I don't believe this), not overweight. ^_^

BMI Categories:

  • Underweight = <18.5
  • Normal weight = 18.5&#8211;24.9
  • Overweight = 25&#8211;29.9
  • Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Actually according to her "estimated" weight she is barely in the normal range.

Of course a self-estimated weight is worth about as much as Zimbabwe's currency.

EDIT: Note that if her "estimated" weight was instead 175 she would be in the overweight category.

It seems to me she picked the highest round number that wouldn't make her overweight. Sneaky...

She is shorter than me and weighs more. I'm doubting as much muscle mass. I think she's probably just bordering on overweight. Which I guess is relatively skinny these days

A heavier girl can be helped a lot by a pretty face. I know I've seen a lot of women who were on the heavy side that I found attractive just because they had good skin tone and nice facial features. That's basically what this girl has. She's not the perfect package. Surely no one is saying that a few pounds less, just enough that she doesn't spill over the side of her bikini quite so much, wouldn't help things. There's just a range of sizes in which a girl with her face can still be considered attractive. She's solidly within that range for me.

My best friend for a year had a butter face and blonde, but was fat... It made it easy to keep her as a friend.

That picture is not fat, it's normal. The problem is magazines and stuff have painted a false picture of what healthy size for a woman is. Most of those are also photoshopped. Being able to wrap your hands around a waist is NOT a healthy size.

Amazon will ship a 15 pound feedsack of lentils to anywhere in the nation. The problem isn't that healthy food isn't available, it's that most people can't tell the difference between what is actually healthy and what is merely advertised as healthy and also that the last couple generations never had to learn to cook for themselves because they could always afford to either buy frozen/processed shit food or have shit food made for them.
