Lardy????  She looks HEALTHY!  She doesn't look like a slight breeze would blow her over and she doesn't have that rabid hungry look in her eye that I've noticed on the starving looking little waifs that tend to be on the catwalk.  It's this kind of thing that just makes me sad for my pre-teen daughter and realize even more that I was born in the wrong era.

As a bigger girl, It makes me sad that people are allowed to proliferate such hate. I've gone from a size 26 to a 12 but I don't think I'll ever be a 4. It's not my genetic makeup. I've found that most men appreciate a woman that is real- and that embracing your size and being healthy is much more sexy and confident than ruining your teeth by being bulimic or being a mean bi&?! because  you are starving yourself to death. I mentor many young girls through my art career and I always try to encourage a healthy self esteem and make my students look inward to see that beauty comes from character not fashion or others opinions. This kind of stuff is ruining the future women of the world. SAD.. ;(

"Its not my genetic makeup"...exactly!! First of all, a world where every single woman looked like a young Twiggy would make for a rather boring planet, so the idea that all women should be thin all over is just silly. But even if we wanted that world, we couldn't have it. I'm five feet tall with wide hips and broad shoulders. If I starved myself, I would still have big hips....and I'd be starving, so that's no fun.

Oh my god, I just went and checked out this website skinny gossip. Everything I read is so incredibly upsetting. In one comment thread Skinny girl responds to the advice of a girl who is 5'7" regarding what would be a good weight to diet for and she told her 90 pounds! 90 freaking pounds! That is unreal.

It’s horrible that the social world like TV, mags, and books boost the image of starved models or even going as far as photo shopping people so they seems way skinner then they really are. I'm super tiny but I would never hate on anyone, so hearing that there is a blog about this is just heart breaking. It just goes to show that there will always be people who don't like others. But I do feel like the social world has an influence on people judging anyone who doesn't have their rib cage and spine showing (I think that’s the image of the unhealthy skinny they protray, I could be wrong).These years beauty is shown as stick figures with fake everything, bring back the curves and the real women in movies and mags then the stick figures will be hated. It’s weird how the world works. Everyone is beautiful in their own way!

That blog is run by a self-hating troll. This blog is quite obviously set up to be a disruptive counterpoint to the current wave of sanity hitting the body acceptance movement. DO NOT - i repeat, DO NOT let anything written here upset you. Laugh at it, mock it, parody it, yes! Show the silliness of it all through satire. Example: try commenting on the blog with something like "The bigger girl looks like she had a well-balanced meal today, I think she's the one who has to be worried about being eaten by her hungry friend there lol"

Seriously guys, I practically have a Masters in Troll Neutralization (still working on final thesis) <3

We need to stop asking ourselves questions like "Why are mean people mean", and start asking questions like "How can we make it not fun for mean people to be mean", or "Shouldn't we be laughing our asses off at people like this instead of giving them power and legitimacy", also "If their views are wrong and stupid, maybe we should show this through comedy"
