rant warning!!
ggrrrr, this realy gets me.
Like there is something wrong with being healthy??
I think people are so used to seeing fat people, they have forgotton what slim and healthy looks like.
what we consider as slim in day to day life is really healthy, what looks overweight is nearly always obese or close to it, and what looks like very fat or obese is prob morbidly obese.
why do people think that losing weight will kill us, when in fact there are more deaths caused by heart disease, strokes, diabeties etc that we were all proned to as fat/obese people?
in fact there is a study i read somewhere that if you are 10lbs below your ideal weight you live up to 5 years longer!
I think my level is 8st 8lbs for longevity, which puts my bmi about 22.
consider also that we will gain weight as we get older (usually) then bmi of 22 sounds healthy, so an elderly bmi of 25 will also be healthy, sustainable, and your body has a reserve of fuel in case of illness.
people just cant be bothered to educate themselves, they would rather have TV style drama and shock tacticts than real information. I guess the truth is boring. most people are fat, and being slim is becoming an annomaly.
we may also be pushing peoples comfort zones, oh if she has done it it means i should, but i dont want to be bothered to work at it so i'll slag her off instead.
grrrrr
