When will obesity not be looked at as loserish?

As I mentioned last week about the show the “Biggest Loser” completely going over the top in perpetuating the fact that society can no longer accept anyone who is over a certain weight capacity, I began to wonder when will it stop? How skinny are we going to emphasize this fact? What is a healthy weight?


These questions will never be answered. Society continues to the raise the bar about fitness yet lowering the “normal” weight to excruciating levels of unhealthiness. I don’t know about you bloggers but I feel if you are between the weight of 120-160 at an average height 5’3-5’9 you are at a healthy weight and shouldn’t try to go over the top and get yourself to an unnatural weight like many of the celebrities.


Its complete bullshit what society does to women, it continues to drive them insane. They feel they do not belong in society anymore or they need to go to extreme measures in order to fulfill their role in society. Be pencil thin able to attract any man. Where as, woman, you should rather focus on your confidence and get over the insecurities. This is what society should perpetuate. Even the thinnest of people are consistently insecure.


This should never be the case. We being a part of the United States, need to stop being so judgmental and watching various television shows, especially the reality shows I mention, it is very rare to find a overweight contestant. It tends to be big busted, big assed, thin women. This is what society tells us is attractive. Not only is it utilized in certain casting, its all over billboard commercials. Can you name the last time you saw an overweight individual advertising anything other than a “Weight LOSS” remedy?

I bet this would be quite difficult I know I couldn’t name any. That’s the world we live in and I will get in to finer detail later this week folks. Until then.
