Very well said. I personally do not like hearing the words BBW. It has as much appeal to me as hearing XXL and Obese. There is nothing sexy about spilling out of your clothes or being a prime candidate for a heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure etc. My mother recently got an email forward in the mail entitled; "Krispy Kreme Calendar." It was the most horrific thing I have ever seen. I dont know if these woman realize it or not, but they are Morbidly Obese. That calendar may have made them feel sexy, but it was probably put out to the public by some sick freak to ostracize them. I am not going to lie; I was disgusted. However, these women need to be encouraged to lead healthier lives. They will feel better both physically and emotionally and not be the target of society. I know we are a look and judge first society; but classifying people by their weight is cruel. I am sure that some of these women are really great people and to be degraded like that is sickening. I am sorry to rant and rave, but I dont think anyone should be treated as less than human. They should also be able to pursue a healthy lifestyle; and not one that is surrounded by junk food.
