Fat for an Asian girl?

someone sent me this article recently http://www.xojane.com/issues/fat-for-an-asian-the-pressure-to-be-naturally-perfect

and while it is specifically written by an asian girl, and i do take contention with parts of this article/opinion piece, i think it is important to take away that every person has their own ideal weight and that ideal weight does not always conform (numerically) with what society tells is 'right'. its important in our journeys and struggles with weight loss to remember that ultimately- its about being healthy and happy and comfortable in your own skin.

thats all. posting because i thought .. maybe someone might get something out of this.
