Jeez, this skinny model/actress thing is getting out of hand. Here are Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan.

Now, honestly, which of these women looks best?
Listen, being medically healthy and listening to your doctor’s ideal weight for your height is what counts here. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but it doesn’t count when it comes to your health. I do not like it when men like me or any of my friends due to our weight, breast size, nor ass size. We are human beings, have brains, and individual personalities and morals and that is what people should judge anyone on if at all. My doctor asked me what my weight goal was and I said 110. He about had a heart attack. He said ideally I should weigh 130 pounds and no less than 125. I am 5’2 1/2 and have mixed medium and small bone structure. That is something to think about. Also haters and negative people need to put more evergy into improving their own personalities and morals and maybe self-esteem as well.
this is just another bashing slim people.who are all of you to judje on what a women should be. this article is done to embrace obesity. anorixa and obesity are both unhealthy
this article is insluting whoever posted this strongly urge you to kill yourself i almost pucked when i saw those pics no bones no rolls that my rule for beauty that plus size model is just feding the fat frenzy by forcing everyone to have massive folds like her but aneroxic is really bad to noone should have to starve themsleves to be beautiful.fit hand healthy is beautiful fat rolls and visible bones are not. but they would not have eating disorders if it was’ent people like you so kill yourslefs for th greater good and if any of you butthut men are piss off about my rant because you favor obese ugly whores who diss pretty slim girls you will never have girls because your are to ugly then go kill yourselfs as well later
First of all, that plus-sized model does NOT have fat rolls. She may be a little overweight but it is by far, not gross or disgusting at all. And it’s not feeding what you called “the fat frenzy”. I do realize that obesity is getting out of hand here in America, but there is also the problem of women practically killing themselves to get super skinny. It’s not only very unflattering (to have the skinny body of a little girl) but it’s very unhealthy too. I can’t believe that the ‘fashion world’ wants to put anorexic looking women on the runways.
Women have been brain-washed by pop culture, the media, etc – to want to be ultra skinny – so people like that plus-size model are doing a great thing by showing that women can be beautiful without being rail-thin.
And why in the world would you tell someone to go kill themselves? Someone just expressed their opinion which we all are entitled to, and because you don’t agree with what she said, you’re gonna tell them “you should go kill yourself”?
You obviously need to get some kind of life and learn how to be a more compassionate person. You must have a lot of hate in you to say stuff like you did.
And one last thing, if you’re going to reply to someone and say ugly things to them, or even to say anything at all, you should probably try and use your spell-check feature to edit any mistakes. And what happened to proper grammar? You used what…? 2 periods in that whole paragraph. WOW. That is not going to make you look intelligent at all.
I agree with a lot of the people who have posted before. They could have made it fairer by putting up a normal fat person instead of an airbrushed model. These aren’t very good choices, because neither are completely healthy. One picture is overweight and the other one has sickly-looking people.
I also understand that not all skinny people are horrible becasue some people are born that way. My sister wasn’t even two pounds when she was born and i was almost nine. Some of us are too young to do any serious weightloss things and our genetics make diet and exercise even less useful. I know I’m fat. I weigh 150 pounds, and i have gone for days without eating or eating more than one meal a day because of the damned media, models, people like some of those on this post who are so against fat people. There’s a lot of pressure put on everyone to be the perfect size 4-8 where you won’t impale someone if you hug them or have them bounce off. I personally don’t have anything against skinny or fat people, but gorgeous people who starve themselves or turn themselves into cows.
Wow….first, how old are you? And next, how tall are you? I’m 5’3″ (and a half, I’m almost 5’4″) and I’ve been told by my doctor that I’m supposed to weigh anywhere between 115 and 145. That’s a huge difference! I weigh 140 now and I’m not terribly overweight, but I could stand to lose about 15 lbs. I am very comfortable at 125.
I hope I helped a little. Just remember if you’re in your teens or early 20′s – and you only weigh 150, losing weight should be pretty easy for you. 
About 6 yrs ago I weighed 115, but that was too small for me. My butt disappeared. But that was too small…..
What I wanted to tell you is you won’t lose weight by skipping meals. You have to eat. I would just eat about 5 small meals during the day. Small portions. But always have a good breakfast.
That’s what I did, ate less, but still ate foods I liked – I just didn’t overdo it. And I used dumbbells in my living room for about 20-25 minutes a few times a week, and I lost weight – 17 lbs in about 2 1/2 months! Then I joined a gym to tone up and I couldn’t believe how fast I got toned! All I did was do about 15 minutes on the treadmill and then about 20 minutes w/ weights. Not heavy weights, just light weights with lots of reps. That will tone you up. Men are always lifting really heavy weights and not so many reps so they can bulk up. But light weights with a lot of reps is perfect for women. And I only went 3 days a week! So you can lose weight the right way – I promise. It sounds like you might be a teenager – so let me just tell you, that’s a GREAT time to get your body into shape. The younger you are, the easier it is! I’m 41 now and I really have to make an effort to lose weight. It’s hard for me to get motivated to actually exercise. But I know if I would just do it, it wouldn’t take long to lose my 10-15 lbs.
Sorry I wrote a long novel – I just wanted to tell you to not skip meals and actually give you a little pep talk!
Take care,
