Why is this something to be proud of?

At 420 pounds, I find it really hard to believe that she "doesn't have health problems".

    She's just "big-boned".

    And she loves her curves! I'm sorry, but curves and lumps/rolls are a lot different. If you watch the video... just no words!

    I'm with you in not understanding her or anyone else who aspires to be "extra large." Forgetting society's judgement, why would you want to live like that? I'm 100 lbs lighter and I feel like I am carrying sandbags around everywhere i go. I can't wait to get them off of me.

    Those people are mind-boggling.

    She's actually really pretty and I bet if she wanted to, she can start losing weight fast...

    OMG ... that's not "hips". That's an *kitten* so big it needs to squeeze round the side just so it doesn't fall off.

    Congratulations. You found a morbidly obese person. Hope picking on her makes you feel better about yourself.

    There's a really nice thread that came up today, and I think many of you should read it: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/864142-observations-on-body-shaming

    Is there some deep spiritual reason why you felt the need to post this? 'Cause I can't think of a reason.

    Oh that's only us long time users. We're the ones who pick on all these good-hearted people with our nasty gifs.

    The funny part is seeing the same people in this thread that yesterday were telling a very fit woman "Eww I don't want to look like that ever!"

    I guess for some people you if you're either to heavy OR too in shape they feel it's their right to mock you for it. Even when they have so much weight they need to lose themselves...

    How many people posting on this thread have been hurt by the things people say about their bodies? Where do we draw the line?

    I agree with the "why post this?" comments. Does it matter that much to you? Or is it just to make you feel better by posting this? I just figure if and when she decides to lose, she will. If not, then let it be. Not hurting you or me is it?
