Girl speaks out against size-ism

I say good for her. Society is dangerously preoccupied with looking "fit" and generally focusing on outer beauty whilst being ugly on the inside. I'd much rather know a girl like her than some stick-thin fake-tanned complete bh

I'm not bothered if she is 'bigger' or whatever, horses for courses, everyone likes something different. My only concern is that if someone is struggling with their weight aged 18, what on earth are they going to be like in their 30's or 40's? Health problems?

I've had a bit of a paunch and a 30/32" waist since age 13 or 14 (I'm 20 now), so I'm hardly Brad Pitt. However, I cycle every day and eat a sensible balanced diet yet it still wont go away. Ergo I conclude that some of it is genetic/metabolism related and not related to lifestyle - which may well be the case for this poor girl.


For the record, I would poke her as I like a bit of padding instead of a sack of skin and bones

Wait your a bloke with a 30" waist and you think that's overweight. Wtf.

Not overweight, just ever so slightly generous in the middle given that I'm 5'8"
