[QUOTE="sanjuro893, post: 1925086, member: 4491"] As a society, we hold up these "hottie" size 1 celebs, then complain that they don't look like "normal" people. Victoria's Secret starts using "plus" size models on the runway and everyone applauds them for it, yet we have the TV telling us that obesity is an "epidemic". So what is the "right" size for women to be? Should we be telling little girls not to be obsessed with their appearance only to have them go to school and be told by the USDA that they have to eat less and exercise lest they get fat? I married a woman who is overweight. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I love her with all my heart. She knows she's fat, she's working on it the best she can and I'm very proud of her when she meets her goals of losing, and I encourage her when she falls short of those goals. Every single one of us has issues we need to work on, some not so obvious as weight but everyone has them just the same. I don't blame the news anchor's husband for reacting the way he did. Personally, I would've found the guy that wrote that e-mail, picked out every one of his flaws be it alcoholism, or road rage, or male pattern baldness, whatever it is and followed him for days on end reminding him of it................................... and then I would've beat the sh*t out of him. :) [/QUOTE]
