As a girl whose suffered from eating disorders, maintaining my weight has always been a massive issue in my life. I've always considered vastly obese people disgusting and even after recovering my eating disorders I still do consider them disgusting.

It's always been beyond my understanding how anybody can get allow themselves to get to such a high weight and be cool with it.
I'm not being vain or shallow. It's unhealthy, unattractive and a drain on resources. I'm not just talking about 14 stone girls because I can see how you can be that weight and still be happy and beautiful. I'm talking 17 stone +

I don't understand how somebody can eat their way to this size and do nothing about it. Yes, depression, boredom and sadness in general is a huge contributing factor but there are always ways to fill the boredom and fight the depression. Activities that don't always involve a fork.

It annoys me when I see in womens magazines slogans and titles such as 'I'm not fat, I'm curvy and fine with it!' and then displays of vastly overweight woman. I just think 'No love, that ain't curvy. Monica Bellucci is curvy, Betty Page was curvy. Your just fat.' End of.

You might think I'm deviating from the point but I never was good at getting my ideas through.

Basically, I'm 18 now. I weigh 10 and a half stone. I'm a healthy weight for my height, I do have quite large hips which makes me curvy and I've come to love that about myself.
I want to hear opinions on acceptable weight ranges from all weight classes. Skinny, large, medium. Anybody with experience with weight issues I want to hear your ideas. How would you combat issues such as obesity, anorexia?
 
i don know what you mean
when i was about 10 years younger i was classified as obese; i was 14 and weighed about 17 stone and stayed at that weight til i was 22. i really hated myself, i exercised obsessively but because i was so miserable i would eat entire tubs of ice-cream and pizzas by the dozen. now i'm dairy intolerant because i abused my stomach so much. when i was 22 my doctor took me off a medicine i'd been on for about six years that was full off steroids and the weight started falling off, but it came off so fast i became anorexic and lived on an apple a day. i lost nearly nine stone. i weigh ten stone now and work out 3 times a week but its always always going to be an issue with me. if i see an overweight woman i always wonder what her story is and why she's the way she is; but equally i think the same about women who are underweight, as i don't think people realise that there are dangers to health on both sides.

the pressure on women to be the ideal size is vile; jessica simpson looks amazing but she gets slated constantly for being 'fat', she isn't fat at all she just isn't sick with bulimia. when people like beyonce and angelina jolie are airbrushed to within an inch of their lives there is a serious problem.
