Valenta – I think you cannot speak for YOUR COUNTRY as a whole. Those are your personal views, but what you’re saying is incredibly hurtful. Who are you to decide that I’m making anyone in my family suffer? Don’t you think those things you’re carelessly writing here could have some terrible effects on the psychically weaker? Undermining of trust in your loved ones, for example.
Would you prefer your mom to be fat but happy and calm or making herself miserable over something she can’t change, drifting apart from you so that you don’t have to “suffer”?
Listen, from what I see and know, most fat people honestly CAN’T change the way they are. Could you imagine that someone would be willing to endure this kind of social stigma and hate and not change it if it was possible? Sorry, but
you’re really unfair.
Nobody is saying we all should go out and get fat. It wouldn’t even be possible. But if someone is, it’s not fair to push them away, especially if it’s your mom! It only adds to the stress and deepens the problem.
And I’m not from the USA, for the record. I’m from Europe.

Valenta,
Can you at least tell us what country you’re from?

Peace,
Shannon

Shannon, in my country there are not so many fat people – it’s not a societal problem. Maybe it’s because the amount of products you have in abundance, like those with E’s, GMO’s etc. are not so many, and because noone in our country (apart from students living in the dorms) eats soup out of a pack. We are not obsessed with the SKINNY standard (yet:)).

Pauli, you’re right – I have no right to tell people how to live their lives. But when these people have problems I have to care about – I not only have the right to tell them – I have the right to control them – especially when these people are my parents! (btw, my mom’s just started exercise 5 minutes every day – under my control – and she likes it!)And yes, noone comes into my house and tells me to be fat – but you care SO much about your privacy that you push people away from you – though sometimes a break-in is what we need to keep alive! The people I care about are fat – if they were practising rough sex, I would probably choose some other site:)
Lisette, there’s nothing mysterious about the YOU – it’s you. If you have children who care about you – ask them how they feel about you being fat, how they want to do everything to help you – and you realize what I mean. There’s nothing superbad about being fat – but your attempts to tell that “being-fattie-is-a-cutie” – are weird. Tonks said that being fat doesn’t make you unhappy – of course it doesn’t! And in some cases when you can do nothing about it – it’s the best way to behave – to accept what you can not change (like Tonks says). But if you haven’t or don’t even try to do so – don’t tell me that you’re OK! Plus while I was talking about sufferings I meant that you make suffer your relatives and children.
Tonks, of all the people who answered to my comment you’re the one that I respect the most – because you managed to explain some things that matter. But I can’t stop thinking that if I were your daughter – you wouldn’t choose to stay fat. And that this choice of yours is just the lack of support from your loving ones.
Who cares about being skinny?! God, I never told that. I never mentioned some stupid standard of the American society which citizens suffer from bulumia and anorexia because of that stupid standard! I don’t want you to become skinny – God, no! If YOUR NORMAL WEIGHT (given to you BY NATURE) doesn’t respond to the standards of your society – who cares? If you have big breasts and broad shoulders, and big butt – let it be! But if your body has to bear 40 kg over all the package I’ve described – that’s what I think isn’t OK. My mom is 155 cm, her weight is 96 kg – that is not ok. All she wants is to measure it to, like 76 kg – and that would be much better.
Tonks, I’ll take my comment elsewhere you want as long as you stop caring about society and begin to take care about yourself:)

My guess would be that this web site is losing business with the recession. In a desperate attempt to rake in the cash, they accept money from those fitness centers that they are referring the rejected members too. It is just one more marketing scam!

Well, honestly, it makes sense that they would kick people out from a marketing point of view. They are trying to keep their site as elite as possible so that people want to sign up. The draw of wanting to be considered beautiful is irrepressible.

What I don’t understand is how they deemed some people to have ‘let themselves go’ – I know when I’m not looking my best (which is often ha ha) I don’t put bad pictures of myself on facebook. So I’m just wondering if these people put terrible pictures of themselves up or what?

Anyone can look terrible some of the time. My cousin is a model and I’ve seen some seriously crap pictures of her…

Anyways, I think it’s ridiculous that they kicked people of and sent them directions to a gym. I hate how much society puts pressure on people to look perfect all the time. It is not that big a deal if you gain 5 pounds.

i think i agree with beautifulpeople.com

this non-fat men or women image is a positive image of beautiful. not only beautiful but also healthy. you know, there are lot of health risk of being fat, such as diabetes, heart disease,…

this non-fat image will motivate peoples to cut of their fat. and i hope by doing regular exercise, eating healthy food…yeah, healthy life style…

and many health expert agree that being fat is not healthy!

I blogged about this site yesterday. It’s appalling. I never thought about the idea of it all being a publicity stunt though, which I find very possible now that I think about it.

“Take a chill pill people, and be more tolerant of others choices!”

Ha! I don’t think you have much room for talking about tolerance.
