fair point. I just think it was kinda harsh to generalize overweight people because of one country's particular phenomenon. I live in a third world country and I can tell people here don't have they luxury to eat like pigs yet we struggle with overweight and it's only because of diseases they cant get treated.

I want to offer a different perspective. What he has said has offended me slightly... because women of that size can also be found on nude beaches as well. I think us as a society need to find beauty in everyone. To me the clothes don't matter and that sounds kinda funny because I dress men and women for a living. Rather than noticing someone's belly, is it so hard to notice the good characteristics of that person rather than be judgemental? I think in my lifetime I've seen a lot of really ugly men and women, but I couldn't tell you who it was. I guess I have because of others's comments. But if you go your life critiquing everybody, you will find that everybody does not ever dress as well as you think they should, there nose is never as straight as you think it should be, their thighs are never thin enough, their skin is never perfect enough and you will find ugliness everywhere. I say that because that's how I use to be, the constant search of a woman of perfection. And I know MANY women who spend their life making comments about others, when they should be like the guy above and look in the mirror first before ever attempting to say hurtful things.
One day I got tired of seeing faults in people and was more allured by interesting characteristics. The last thing I notice is someone's weight... instead I notice characteristics that they have that I don't that I find interesting. Always checking out women, no matter what size or amount of beauty they do not possess, and see what I wish I had that they do.
I was working a fashion show and a man from the crowd came up to me and asked me to tell him girlfriend that she was sexy. She was a little upset watching all these beautiful models come strutting down the runway and seeing everybody captivated by their beauty. She told her boyfriend, after he kissed her and told her how beautiful he thinks she is, how she is not. He grabbed me as I was running backstage and asked me to tell her that she's not ugly and that if I think she is a sexy woman. I looked at her... and told her she shouldn't be so concerned with the models. I gave her a good look and you know what... she was a sexy woman and I thought she was beautiful. I told her so and I meant it and ran backstage to get back to work. Maybe she was a whole of four feet tall and about 140 pounds, but she had it going on and it makes me so sad that people don't think they are sexy unless they are 5'10" 110 pounds, blonde, and a model.
Dunno, just what popped in my head when I read this. Take care everyone.
