Why they call them curvy instead of fat, overweight and she doesn't take care of herself?

[Candyman]

Watching the Joan Rivers show and Oprah is posing in a red dress which she is clearly 150 lb overweight and they say she has good curves.

Really just a question and just being honest about it.

I do not disrespect woman but call a spade a spade.

Here we go again Damn-Not too smart

She'd be a nice comfy ride. :wink2:

My guess is she didn't feel the need to take her down a notch by commenting on her appearance and to be a good role model to her female viewers by not contributing to making them feel terrible about themselves and starve themselves because she can realize there's more to a person than the scale.

Or maybe has enough class and sophistication to call a spade a spade when a women is beautiful.

I totally agree, I enjoy women of all shapes.

Isn't calling someone a spade a racist term? Candyman, you should be banned for that!

BTW, met your sister recently!

Honest answer - I grew up with a mom who was grossly overweight as far back as I can remember. It affected her health and her quality of life, and also drastically affected the qualify of life for our whole family. When I was a child, I vowed I would never let myself look like that.

My first husband had a good body when we met, but then he gained a lot of weight (blamed it on my good cooking) and became very unattractive to me.

My whole life, I've had a difficult time finding obese people attractive - BUT ... since becoming a SP and getting to know some awesome BBW's and reading countless reviews of men worshipping BBW's, it's helped me to be more accepting of bigger people and see the beauty in most of them.

I will always believe that being morbidly obese is unhealthy and unattractive.

And how do you feel about clients who are ... shall we say ... less than Chippendale?

"Curvy" is just their way of avoiding calling themselves fat. Face it: you're fat, ladies. It's your fault, no one else's. You eat the stuff you eat: no one forces you. You wanna stop being fat? Eat less and exercise. But lazy people don't want to take action, so they relabel themselves to make themselves feel better.

It's pathetic the way we have to justify our own self-image by deluding ourselves.

Obese are many times likelier to suffer serious health issues and die young. Isn't that a good reason to not be obese?

To me, getting overweight means I would have a problem with my own self-image and how I take care of myself, which means I also don't care about what the lady I am with thinks about me, either. That's a lack of consideration for the person you are with. That's not good.

Blaming good cooking is an excuse, just like every other. What it really means is "I'm too lazy to keep myself in shape, so I can blame you instead for cooking food for me."

Blame it on GOD and BEER.

GOD screwed up when he invented BEER.

Should have designed it to melt calories and turn flab to muscle.

Could be a problem for ladies, however

Being overweight isn't always so black and white. There are people with thyroid problems, emotional problems, physical ailments that don't allow for exercise, etc.

Like Ms. Sarah, my mom was obese as well. It was a burden on her marriage and her physical activities with our family. I vowed to never let myself get like that and I never understood how my once extremely active mother became that obese. After she passed away, for the first time in my life (minus the odd stress eating etc) I started eating to satisfy the emotional loss I felt without her. That was the first time I realized what battle she may have been facing and how out of control I felt. I literally could not stop eating. I ended up gaining 20-25 lbs in a span of 4 months and was officially the fattest I've ever been and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't turn it around and I couldn't stop eating. Eventually I got sick and my appetite was curved and I lost just enough weight to feel good about myself again and I started going to the gym. Now I go to the gym 4-5 times a week and I worked and am working my ass off to reverse what I did. I am just saying that I didn't see how the impact that emotional problems can have on your weight but I definitely do now and it isn't always so cut and dry.

This is true plus jobs and careers play a big part. At times the demand on the job prevents one to have regular time to exercise which is a big part of staying in shape. Diet alone for most does not work and exercise alone for most also not work, the two go hand in hand.

 

[oldguyzer]

Excuses. Whether you are active or not, if you eat the same number of calories as you burn, then you don't put on weight. If you eat more than you burn, you get fat. Basic.

As for Bridgette's post, I understand what you're saying, but these are again excuses. Thyroid problems can be treated completely. If you can't exercise, eat less. Emotional problems are an excuse for over (or under) eating. We all have problems at times, but don't use them as a crutch for our own eating binges. Physical disabilities that prevent exercise? C'mon...look at the Special Olympics. They have overcome their disabilities. In the end, it's all excuses.

Sorry to be so blunt, but they are all excuses that are not really valid (OK, a very small minority are, but those are rare). Obesity is killing people, causing massive health issues, and it's all because people won't (not can't!!!) stop eating more than they need. If you put on weight, it's your fault, no one else's.

If you let yourself get overweight, it means you have no respect for yourself. Or the people who care about you. It's YOU, not them...

Tastebuds are the only gland that leads to obesity, these days
