Answers:
My answer will be considered unPC for sure!.

1!. you are not fat!.
2!. I agree there is an unhealthy obsession with people who look anorexic!.
3!. It could be that more than half of Americans are obese!. Way of life, laziness, unhealthy diets, sedentary lifestyles etc!.
4!. Clothes on models fit better on skinny people than on chubby ones!.
5!. The camera does put pounds on!.
6!. Thin is being equalled with youthfulness!. When people age, losing weight gets more difficult with the slowing down of metabolism!.
7!. In the West, being slim is a + ( and please folks!.!.I know I know!.!.Rubens and all)!. That is still the society we live in!.
We do not live in societies where women put on weight on PURPOSE to prove that they come from rich families who can afford meals!.
8!. I am not pro anorexics whatsoever but just looking at reality as it is!.
9!. I know some people despite what some others will say have problems with their thyroids, are genetically prone to gain weight!.!.!.!.!.( I do not like people who blame chubby ones and tell them it is all their fault!.) Some people can eat about 3 million calories a day and still remain skinny!. We all know those!.
10!. True the media is going into extremes!.
11!. Some really unhealthy diets are being promoted!.!.!.how many new diet books each month are going to be "best sellers" !? Same with the vast amount of so-called "diet pills"!.!.if they worked: everybody would be skinny !
12!. Peer competition among teens!. Who is going to be the "thinnest" of all!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.not healthy at all!.
13!. Seems to me that a lot of Americans whine about discrimination against their weight!.!.!.!.!.but do not do much about it!.
14!. Yes, yes and yes!.!.!.!.obese people do have more health problems sooner or later than thin ones in general!.
15!. How many of you have witnessed a "fat" person and then after losing weight got really attractive !? The face is not just like a marshmellow anymore but appears a lot more attractive!. The waist disappears etc!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
16!. So many "fat" people say they are happy!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.they are always happier it seems in reality after they have slimmed down!.

I could on!.!.!.running out of ideas now!.

I am NOT for anorexic people at all!.

But!.!.!.!.!.people who take care of themselves seem to be a lot more confident too than those who do not!.Taking care of yourself shows that you value yourself also!.

I know , I know!.,,people will say "it is inside which counts" etc!.!.yes!.!.!.!.!.but first appearances matter!. people are visual!.

PS: I have never understood the excuse that being poor makes people go for fast food!. Fast food to me is VERY EXPENSIVE!.!.!.compared to buying soups, vegs, fruits etc!.I just do not get it!.

And Americans seem to be impatient!. Going for all kind of procedures : liposuction , stomach stapling etc!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.instead of just researching a bit what bothers them and have a bit of a willpower!. Always the quick and easy way!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

thats because i ate healthy!.

and now im 17 and concidered skinny by everyone and all the skinny ppl at 13-14-15 are now 17 and fat!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The whole point is target marketing!.!.!.celebrities indeed are a media text therefore they are made in to an image that is very hard to achieve, as their popularity grows, we are consumed with these images, and weight loss businesses, diets, etc!. all prosper!.!.!.The point is to market something that is more or less unachievable or less common among people so that the majority feel they are not good enough and must keep investing to be accepted and adhere to what has been fed to them through this unhealthy exploitation!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Matter of fact I just saw 2 of those types of healines the other day!. One was about Mariah Carey, I forget the other!. All I could remember thinking was "Mariah Carey was fat!?!" because she wasn't!. If you are a size 7 and/or 8 then you shouldn't worry!. I mean, I'm a guy but I know a little about women's sizes and 8 would not be fat at all!. And if you watch your diet and jog everyday you shouldn't even care about it!. But, on the same token, I understand because I care alot about how I look as well and with all the hype about being skinny it's no wonder teens are freaking out so much!.

I'm 17 and I see it all the time, especially girls but there are some guys who do it too, people wearing too much make-up, asking each other if they are too fat, how do these jeans look, does my a** look big, etc!., etc!. As a guy I don't know if I can relate as much because the emphasis is put on women!. Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Misha Barton, to name a few!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.are they the right size!? No, if you ask me they are not!. I think no one should be ridiculed for their size and any size is beautiful, just wish we all could more of a society that takes into account what's on the inside!. I think if you worry too much about what's on the outside you begin to lose direction on what you look like on the inside!. Plus, how many of those women do you think feel like crap inside, like they have to do this!? Probably a majority of them!. I'm not saying every female celeb is that way, just would be willing to bet many are!.

As far as weight, ask a dietician!. They will tell you there are plenty of health people who are "overweight"!. I don't know if it's healthier to be too skinny or too fat, I honestly couldn't assess that!. Would bet being too skinny is more unhealthy due to the fact that having extremely low body fat percentage means less energy and stamina, not to mention less heat contained by the body!. Generally, these people have weaker muscles which only leads to less heat generated and less stamina as well!.

It is a gene thing for some, I'm only refering to the ones who do this on purpose!. I'd say keep eating healthy, jog, and you'll be fine!. Even indulge every now and then as long as you keep it moderate (there's nothing wrong with a little treat every now and then), unless you just aren't much for sweets!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
