You guys are still at this?? Who cares what another person thinks. Do you! Big, small or in between, just be happy with what you have and what you don't like, change. I wouldn't care if you called yourself "Princess Fat-Fat, Queen Of Curve", so what!!! Can't nobody take your self appointed title away but you!! Soooooo, if 600 pounds is gross to you then don't become 600 pounds! If 95 pounds is gross to you then don't become 95 pounds!! I thought MFP was about getting healthy (losing weight, gaining weight, training..etc), why are we going on and on and (good Lord) on about personal opinions??? Cut it out already!!!

Agreed. However I do think it's interesting to hear how people's perceptions differ. I like hearing personal opinions.

christina hendricks is not curvy...she is fat. here are pictures of her in a bathing suit. we are so used to seeing people who are morbidly obese that we think people who are fat/overweight are normal.

I think you've got into your head that the "Hollywood norm" is what "normal" is...Christina Hendricks is beautiful and yes, she's curvy.

she is in no way healthy/not fat...whatever in those bathing suit pics. she is a pretty girl but she is fat in those pics. i think it is your perception that is distorted. you honestly think those thighs are indicative of a healthy person?

Uh, yes. They're not huge. So she's not Kiera Knightly thin. Big effing deal. She still has a killer body.

they are huge. you prove my point that we are so used to seeing morbidly obese people that when we see people who are just obese they look normal. those thighs are in no way normal on a person with a healthy BF%.

lol are you serious? Yeah, she has some extra fat on her body, but to decide that she suffers from health problems because her thighs are bigger than what you deem a healthy size is inane.

lol where did i say she suffers from health problems? i do not know her medical history.

Is there something in this thread that makes people forget what they typed the minute they hit "post reply"? :laugh: You said it right here:

she is in no way healthy/not fat...whatever in those bathing suit pics. she is a pretty girl but she is fat in those pics. i think it is your perception that is distorted. you honestly think those thighs are indicative of a healthy person?

You are saying in the above bolded bit that she is not healthy. If someone is unhealthy, it will manifests in some way (cancer, asthma, shortness of breath, etc etc etc.) Thigh size does not correlate to level of fitness or health, buddy.

Laces_out...I'm confused. In your original post, you asserted that she's "not curvy...she's fat". But a few posts later you said "She is curvy, just fat and curvy". So which is it? Is she curvy or not?

shes been both in her career. at at times both at the same time!

So you're asserting that, in the swimsuit pic you posted, she's gone well past "fat and curvy" to just straight up fat?

being unhealthy(fat) does not mean you have health problems(cancer, asthma etc...) at the current time.

OH REALLY? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Next you're going to tell me that you still consider the BMI chart to correctly distinguish the "unhealthy" from the "healthy", right?!

That's a rather shallow view. IMO, Christina Hendricks is one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood now...mostly because she's not an anorexic twig...but, hey...if that's your thing, who am I to judge?

she is definitely pretty and when i saw her on Firefly she was definitely sexy.

Even though she's all gross and fat and stuff? I like wimminz to be soft...if I wanted a hardbody beside me, I'd be gay....not that there's anything wrong with that.

you can be fat and pretty and fat and sexy. im surprised you feel different. and someone is gay because they are attracted to a hardbody? wow...not sure how to respond to that one.

you are the one that said it.

And it went over your head...hence Peanut.

the fact that wanting a hardbody means you are gay? didnt miss that one. you missed my sarcastic response to like her because she is fat and gross and stuff.

He said if *HE* wanted a hardbody, he'd be gay. Meaning that his preference for women is that they not be super muscular. He's not saying you have to be gay to like muscular women.

usually when people say stuff like that they are projecting...but if that is not the case then i stand corrected.

I saw that after you posted it, and sorry, but no friggin' way is that information current or accurate for her body now. Those may have been her measurements during her time on Firefly, but even that I doubt. She was a size 12 then, and no way 154 lbs there either.

Not to say she isn't lovely (she absolutely is), but just that those numbers can't be current.

Personally it goes both ways for me its not just extremely over weight girls but I find girls that are too thin make me cringe as well. I know a lot of women that are over weight and aren't curvy at all just a lot of rolls. On the tv I don't look up to skinny or over weight girls, I find myself looking up to who are fit enough to survive in the wild like the explorer people on the discovery channel. They are my idols.

lol so if a person who is healthy and at a healthy weight for 30 years starts to gain weight and crosses over to the obese range of BF% they instantly get a health problem? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

what is it that you are trying to say? LOL
