I’ve been meaning to write this up for a long time because I find myself having to repeat myself so often about this. People assume that if I post something related to finding beauty in overweight women that I must be supporting poor health. And I am NOT. I am so, so, so very NOT. What I AM doing is promoting LOVE no matter the body type. It seems to come up more for overweight than underweight these days and I think that is because society is hell-bent on discriminating against overweight people, but I’ve heard from plenty of underweight women that their body shape is equally as judged by society.
The fact is that we only hurt each other and the Big Picture by making any judgments about a person and their personal, private lives based on their size and shape.
So, here’s my brand spankin’ new disclaimer that I plan on sharing instead of having to repeat myself and my philosophies over and over again. If it is at all unclear, please ask me to clarify and I will adjust my wording in the disclaimer itself if needed.

Well said!
It’s sad that overweight people get all of the shame for unhealthy lifestyles. MANY thin people I know have horrible eating habits and are very out of shape.
