[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is, her overweight body has been airbrushed and photoshopped to hide her bulges and cellulite and to make her sking look smooth and taut, when it is not. You can see the difference when you look at unedited pictures of her.

This woman's picture is not what a size 16 looks like, or even what her body looks like. It is just as deceptive if not more than the waif skinny model pictures edited to be skinnier than they are.

Her body might be a size 16 but her picture is not what a size 16 body looks like.[/quote]

I have pictures of myself when I was doing a 5K every day, strength training, avoiding processed foods and wearing a size 16.  I do not look fat in the pictures at all.  I even looked good in a swimsuit.  Granted I was not wearing a bikini and I never will again after having kids.  I had good muscle tone and I was fit and still had fat in all the right places.  So I can believe that a woman who has never been pregnant can have those curves and a more or less flat stomach.

Is she a typical size 16?  No.  But most women, regardless of size, are not model perfect.  I think we just need to appreciate the fact that THIS particular woman looks good at her bigger size.  Some of us really can pull it off.[/quote]

But there are pictures of her (including on this thread) that show she has cellulite and bulges and is not smooth and firm/flat/toned like the cover picture.

Very, very rarely is a size 16 going to be fit, trim and flat stomached. Very rarely is a size 16 going to be a healthy body.

And, a young, 20-something woman who has not yet had kids and is that big that young is on a fast path to obesity.

I think many of you are arguing the wrong points. A size 16 at your middle ages and post child bearing is very, very different than a young woman who has never been pregnant being a size 16.[/quote]
