Eh, I feel the same way. Being overweight is a choice and all it takes is the discipline to eat/live normally. I think my biggest problem with it is that big women tend to be as selfish as their eating habits. This doesn't pertain to girls whose stomachs don't look photoshopped, just those that are unhealthily overweight and appear to have let themselves go.

Oh, don't misunderstand me. I love my outrageous ass. But it is pretty outrageous. Trust me; if you saw me walk around naked right now, you'd agree.

A big ass on a woman, in my opinion, is not a bad thing. What matters is what the ass is made of. If it is made mostly of muscle -- great!

If it is made mostly of fat -- not so great.

What also matters is the woman's overall shape. I love a curvy woman (and I mean curvy at a healthy weight, not curvy as a euphemism for overweight).

Thank you.

I agree. The most important thing is to be as fit and healthy as you, in your natural body type, can be. At 140 pounds, I was always hungry, and my body always ached because I wasn't giving it enough calories to cope with my strenuous workouts. At one point, I completely stopped having periods for six months. When I did give my body enough calories to cope with the workouts, it would put on muscle, and I would gain weight and freak out.

Boy am I glad I'm not a slave to the scale anymore, and I hope any woman who is overcomes this limitation.

a lot of my body image issues actually started when i was growing up. especially there aren't many asians who have fuller frames like i do, people often viewed it in a totally backwards perspective. i matured really fast, as did my sister, except she stayed thin and inherited more of the height (5'7"). i, on the other hand, inherited the tits and ass and a little bit of the height (5'4").

growing up, i didn't fit in with my mom's friends' daughters who are all anorexic looking and flat-chested. however, my sister did because she's thin and they all praised her because was so much taller than all the little 5ft. girls. as sad as it is to say, my mom didn't have that same view about me. instead, she constantly critiqued my weight since i wasn't "normal" like her friends' daughters. she wasn't accepting that i had more meat on my bones, and she wanted to put me on diets so i could look like everyone else. i always refused.

i admit a lot of the things my mom said were blows to my self esteem during my teenage years, which is why it's taken me so long to accept myself the way i am. i used to hide my body behind baggy t-shirts, sports bras, and loose jeans. i looked like a tomboy and nobody knew i had breasts until my aunt finally took me bra shopping my senior year in high school. gradually over time i stopped sporting the frumpy look, and started wearing clothes that flattered my figure. soon after, i began noticing guys checking me out left and right.

i've come a long way from how i was during my teens. now that i'm older, i'm more accepting of my body the way it is and not the way my mom wanted me to be. til this day, she still rags on me about being a dress size 14 and keeps bitching that my tits are pouring out of my 36C bras. i understand that family is always going to be your worst critic. however, i'm happy i'm different and unique because it sets me apart from the rest. i love my tits and my ass, and i would never change that to become flat-chested with no ass and no figure.

I need to be myself.
I can't be no one else.

As said with all the vast weath of knowledge and experience accumulated by a 19 year old boy.
There is a host of diffrent reasons why a woman may be overweight.
Polycystic ovaries, thryoid conditions make it impossible for those women who suffer to lose weight.
Not a result of being lazy and unmotivated or selfish.

Fair enough, but from my experience (as weak as it is), the most common scenario is as I posted before.
