[quote=Anonymous]I am a subscriber to People and was shocked that she was on the cover and there was an article inside gloating about her.

I think model thin women on magazine covers is unhealthy. Plus, add all the Photoshopping of their scars, stretch marks, etc. and it can seriously depress anyone who tries to aim for that particular type of beauty. It does not exist.

Yet it is extreme to go to the other side of the spectrum. While I commend "Plus Size" models for their bravery, self-acceptance as well as their lack of shame, I do not see it as a good message for society that they are held up as role models and such.

Plus Size should be considered something temporary, not permanent. Not due to aesthetics, but health in general.

If a woman's waistline exceeds 34'', then that excess belly fat can make her life span less. Other risks: diabetes, cancer, stroke, high blood pressure and heart issues.

So Rebel Wilson and all these actresses shouldn't brag they are fat and proud. How about fat but working on slimming their waistline for a longer life span....??![/quote]
