Anyone who considers little boots fat is a complete moron and is in need of corrective lenses. Sorry to say to all the people who want to pretent that their issue is with her size. but you are jealous of her and her ability and are simply out to hurt her in a way that makes you feel better about yourselves. Small minded people and bullies are the only ones who need to pick on someone to feel better about themselves. I wonder want is hinding is their closet that is haunting them so much that they have to be so foolish. I bet that they feel bad about themselves the second they are off the computer where no one is reading their bile. she is simply beautiful.

I could probably stabnd to lose about 20 pounds, but I'm not about to lose any sleep over it. I've known people who've been heavy most of their lives, and when they lose weight, suddenly they have "friends" who never gave them the time of day before. I'm sorry, those are merely fair weather friends who couldn't be bothered before. Why would anyone want to spend time with friends like that now? I'm all in favor of being healthy; I'm also in favor of staying true to who you really are. Not everyone is born to be a size 2. Some people strive for that daily. There's a name for that, and it's called "anorexia". Society IS who to blame since we seem to have this agonizing need to look "perfect"..."perfect" being way too thin for our own body types without paying attention to anything more than the aesthetics. I've known some pretty shallow beautiful people too when you get right down to it. Not everyone can be the same size or shape, and no one should be condemned for it. So before you lecture tjhose who you think could stand to lose some weight, better be sure you're not insulting someone over their medical history, hereditary issues or any other reason some people are the way they are. You don't know it all, and in many cases, you know nothing at all. Think before you crucify anyone for not meeting your personal agenda of perfection. You're far from perfect yourself if you think like that.

She doesn't look fat to me! Why do some people still care about other people's weights?

WOW! scary that we live in a world of such shallow people like Bloody Hell and Alice. I feel for you both. while I never wish bad on anyone...I sincerely hope that there is never a time in your life when for some reason you too become over weight! You both may be skinny and may even be pretty but what you hold inside overlooks both and makes you the ugliest people to walk this earth! you both disgust me!

It's about being motivated. Some people are and some people aren't and just want to give excuses. It doesn't matter how many hours I work every week, I always make sure to exercise. It's not that hard really. All you need is the desire and a pair of running shoes and you already completed the first step. If you put some plates on your stomach and do crunches, that helps too. I personally prefer women in the 140-170 pound range (average) but that is just me. Doesn't mean I want a "size 2" woman.

If the topic is her being tired of being called fat, why don't we have a full body picture as lead in to this article?

I don't like skinny girls. I went out with a skinny girl once (how skinny was she? She went to put ger panties on one night and fell through the hole. She could bob for apples through a picket fence, eat corn on the cob through veneitian blinds. She was hanging her laundry one day and some marketing people drove by and offered her a job doing fork commercials. The way we met was an empty cab pulled up in front of my house one day and she got out.
