OPEN FORUM FOR DISCUSSION

”Women do not need to be SKINNY. But we DO need to be healthy. Articles, media etc. encouraging unhealthy people to stay overweight and unhealthy in order to “be comfortable with themselves” annoy me just as much as the media encouraging weight loss.
Eating healthy does NOT equal a diet where you have to starve yourselves and live on carrots and lettuce and work out for 8 hours a day. It means staying active, resting and eating what you want without completely living on McDonald’s.
Why is it that people only see the two extremes (skinny, ED’s vs fat, unhealthy etc.) and not the middle position of this argument? “I personally will not comment on this one. The only reason being because I want to make this an open forum for you to voice your own opinion on what was said. If I say more I’ll muddle the begining opinion. Ready… GO!
This is exactly my position. Unhealthily skinny/fat should not be endorsed. It doesn’t mean there should be fat/skinny hate but I’m saying healthy should be the proper norm because it is! There’s no acceptance about it.
