Thin Shaming; Sports Illustrated Edition

just do whatever you want.

And accept the rest of the world may or may not agree with you. Dont hate or like anything based on what the majority says.
 
haha wow what a rough crowd 😛. I mean, I try my best to work out and stay in shape, and I know how difficult just trying to motivate myself to get to that point can be.

The fact is, we do a sizeable portion of people who aren't at their ideal weight and figure; but we do underestimate how hard it is to be and stay fit in this age of abundance with advertisements that call for more consumption. It's hard to go against our own instincts in our brains.

BUT...
We should never promote that being at an unhealthy weight is ok. This "thin-shaming" should not be the norm. It's definitely not ok for them to just group themselves to an "us vs them" mentality (ie.. us fat vs you skinny people! grr!!). We should strive to be as healthy as possible (benefits society as a whole since it doesn't burden our health care and hospitals; plus eliminates soo many health issues).

In one hand, I applaud these ladies that there should be no shame in being a larger person (promoting self-confidence is always good). However, I find that they should mention that being at a healthy weight also gives confidence. They should really be promoting those awesome inspiring stories of people who did lose massive amounts of weight, instead of bitching at others. I know stuff from reddit is not the most ideal place to show this, but http://reddit.com/r/loseit shows real stories from users who lost their weight, and gained hotness and awesomness from their process.

Well, I'm just rambling on and on.. but, we shouldn't immediately resort to name calling. At the same time, these "thin-shaming" folks should lose that "us vs them" mentality; and actually promote good health.
 
Chrissy Teigen, Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal are amazing looking, but looks are deceiving because those photos were touched up. They don't look that perfect. I'm sure they have skin rashes, cellulite, and wrinkles.

A team of mean spirited plus size models are shaming models Chrissy Teigen, Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal (who originally appeared on the 2014 Sport Illustrated Swimsuit edition) by mocking the trio's shoot, in what appears to be a photo for a whale watching brochure.

Ha "plus sized models"? This is the first time I'm hearing of this. Don't they fall into the medical definition of obese - they seem at 30%+ body fat.
 
I saw that, and I think it was more of obese promotion than thin shaming, I would have been all for something in between but this is ridiculous... We have a obesity epidemic in this country and they people who did it should be ashamed of themselves.
