Here's the problem. They do 00 or "overcompensate" with 16.

Give me a nice 6 or 8 like Liz Taylor, Marilyn, Jayne Mansfield...

Marilyn was larger than reported!

I'm a straight woman and find this revolting. I have an obese son, who struggles with thyroid issues as well as my family's endocrine issues. I know the pain and health issues he's suffered over the years due to his obesity. It should not be celebrated.

I agree.

Size 16 is not a healthy weight.

With the obesity epidemic in this country, we should not be normalizing a size 16 as a desireable body.

But we've been normalizing and celebrating size 00 for years. Why is it only disgusting and pandering only on one side of the BMI scale?

A lot of suffering comes from trying to fit an unrealistic (and equally unhealthy) body "ideal".

Then use a size six to size ten model.

This lady is at an unhealthy size. We have an obesity epidemic in this country, not a too thin epidemic.

Eating disorders are in fact a problem in this country.

yes, too much eating

Not sure why you are such a bitch but you must be aware that there are sadly many many girls starving themselves to death or binging and purging.

And if ED counselors really cared about these girls, they would refer to a psychiatrist who specializes in OCD. But without sick patients, these ED counselors have no business, no media attention, nothing.

NP. Yep, I'm sure ED counselors could care less about the girls they work with, it's just a conspiracy.




I think YOU need a psychiatrist. Urgently.

I think they care, but are so caught up in their politics that they refuse to see the truth re: EDs. If the choice is to medicate a patient with a drug for OCD and it stops the cycle of starvation and/or binge/purging, why would you NOT do it? The woman I spoke of (the activist) said "because if she goes off the medication, the ED will start again". Well, that's how OCD works, usually, which is why it's combined often with behavioral modification. Without the meds, the 'voice' of the ED shuts down the brain to the behavior mod therapy. Calming that voice with a drug such as Zoloft, allows the therapy to be much more effective.

If you think EDs are just a brain glitch that can be cured with medication you're sadly mistaken. I'm a therapist and work with clients with many issues, including eating disorders and OCD. You're not incorrect to mention that there are aspects of disordered eating which resemble OCD, however it's really not that simple. There are many additional factors in play for many (if not most) ED clients. This includes family dynamics and the wider culture that sends messages to women that thinness is revered above health and self-acceptance..

Really? I think she looks so gorgeous! And I'm not overweight

In general I think she looks good, BUT I do think she would be more attractive if she lost 20 lbs or so. Just a little more trim. Size 12-14 for her height.

yep!

Swimsuit models and runway models are not tue same thing.

Sports Illustrated uses more swimsuit/underwear models than anything else, and those women are not gaunt, emaciated size zeros.

Most men would pick the normal SI modelsnover either this plus model or a runway model.

Both groups (runway AND plus) are unhealthy role models.

Disagree. All the comments online that I have seen (from men) are saying Ashley was the hottest of all the other swimsuit models in SI. So.. maybe you just have odd taste?

How do you know those are men and not women happy to see a heavier model closer to their size?
