I ain’t that fat!” and she isn’t

Yes. She is.
Good on her for losing weight, but I am so sick of big people bullshitting themselves and other people running around being politically correct about overweight people. I don't want people to point at them and call them names, humiliate and belittle them, but give me a damn break... being overweight and obese should not be softened down to the point that people think it is healthy to be that way. Like the article suggests, she's 'fuller figured' that's for sure! But that's a euphemism for overweight. Just like 'curvy', 'voluptuous' and 'shapely' have become euphenisms for the overweight and obese.
We don't want the glorification - or acceptance - of skinny models or skinny celebrities, but it is becoming acceptable to be big and unhealthy. Why?
Why don't we just glorify a medium called healthy? I don't care how many damn times people want to tell me that big women can be healthy - they're simply not healthy. This woman is not healthy - she still has no eating control if she is eating all she 'wants'. Nobody is healthy being overweight... I sure as hell wasn't healthy! It's about as hilarious as a magazine I read where Nikki Blonksy, her mother (also heavily overweight) and her trainer were saying Nikki is healthy because she does some exercise. Carrying all that fat is not healthy at all. Don't believe me? Look at the medical system and do the research on the health effects of being overweight, then honestly tell me that's a healthy way to be.
