Guess it's easier to pretend you're healthy than to eat less and work out.
The chair has officially joined the #metoo movement.

I think she is really brave.
Seriously though, how is it a positive messege? I feel that addiction to food seems to be similar to drug addictions and I fail to see how normalising or accepting is a positive messege to the youth.
Like if a kid is a smoker or fat and they see a smoker or a fat person being celebrated on cosmo the kid could then feel a bit better about their behaviour. How is that a positive thing?
I find myself genuinely at odds with this reality and genuinely cannot discern the rational. I know this is the wrong place to ask (high five) but does anyone have a window into this and can elucidate?
Might as well promote doing heroin and smoking meth, while we're on the road to celebrating terrible life choices.
I'm all for slightly bigger girls, but this is promoting morbid obesity as something other than disgusting and dangerous.
VY Canis Majoris would even struggle to give her a tan.
I wasn't going to buy that issue anyway.
Oh my. That creature must weigh about 400lbs!
Honestly, this is horrible. Is this what they call body-positive movement now? This movement must be banned ASAP. I am not against a healthy chub, but this... To avoid swearing I'll just say this girl has a SEVERE medical condition and if she wants to live another 20 years she must get treatment ASAP
This should be viewed like a disease, because it is. No mockery, but go and treat it!I mean I don't think people should be personally mocked for being that overweight as that arguably just makes the situation worse as lack of confidence is often the underlying problem. Equally though I think you need to acknowledge its not a body to aspire to have either.
Again I think part of the issue is that the media really doesn't want to change its beauty standards, it becomes like a group of good looking women with a "fat friend" trying to make themselves look less superficial whilst still clearly being so.
