Do you find overweight people attractive?

If you're obese your heart has to work harder to pump the blood around your body. Just because she may not show any negative symptoms now- prolonged obesity especially into later life is extremely dangerous.

It gets harder because the arteries get clogged, due to being unhealthy. Again just becasue you are Overwieght dosen't mean you are unhealthy. Being Obese due to you body fat, is unhealthy, you don't get Obese from eating and excersing properly.

How do you know she is obese? Carrying a 'little extra fat' is not obese. I don't see him trying to portray that fact meerley you assuming becasue she is a a size 18 she must be obese.

Going by dress size is very unreliable. In this way, BMI is more reliable in giving you an overall impression.

I would estimate Pierce Brosnan's bird is about 14 stone and about 5'6". That makes her obese.

that is in the future. right now her HR and BP are fine. The heart is not being over worked at this point in time. That is the point i am making, right now she is healthy, yet for some reason you are trying to find a way to prove otherwise but only coming up with risks and potential future problems.

BMI is pants and guestimating her weight and height is madness. Having said that, she would probably be in the obese range for body fat aswell.

I'm not far off though. It gives you an idea of what obese is. I love the fact that only overweight or obese people say that BMI is rubbish.
 
I range from skinny, to a bit chubby. I prefer a girl with some meat on her bones, but not one who obsesses over weight.
However, I don't know if I could do an obese girl.

Ha ha, i'm borderline obese 6'6 and 18 stone, I got a bit of a gut i'll admit but really, obese?
I suppose they say muscle weighs more than fat though, I don't know, I just go to the gym two or three times a week, i'm not exactly ripped.

Regardless of whether you believe your partner to be healthy Morba, being obese is never healthy.

If she is obese then she isn't healthy. I can say this because if she is obese and she doesn't change that then she will encounter issues further down the line.

I'm right in the middle of what the BMI reckons I should be, and I say it is complete rubbish.

So if you don't consider her obese, surely none of this anti-obese stuff is relevant, therefore why defend it?

Because Keely (in the DM article) does not look to be any more than an 18, which is the same as my partner.
All the comments from people on here are pointing towards her and saying how unhealthy she is. I am showing that being that size does not mean unhealthy automatically.

It dosen't take in bone mass or muscle mass, its a guide at best. And cannot be used to identify someone's health status with just a picture!
 
I know it's not always the persons fault but I'm willing to bet the majority of overweight people piled on the pounds through laziness/overindulgence.
I think it's pretty disgusting really, it gets worse when (echoing an above post) people go into the "I'm big and beautiful"... Ugh.

Have watched many of the diet doctors style programs lately and just had to laugh. If you're eating take-outs all the time and snacking constantly, whilst doing ~1000steps a day. WTF do you expect to happen.

Willpower for the win.

But presumably your partner is taller than Keely, and hence despite being a similar 'dress size' is thus not obese. Becuase look at Keely - she is very fat indeed.

I fail to see the relevence to that comment, however, many sports people regard it as pointless as do many really skinny people.
it is a great scale for the average person, but tbh there arent many average people out there.
 
Let's call a spade a spade, or rather a moose a moose. To hell with all that lovey-dovey 'so long as you're comfortable with yourself/she looks great' rot! She is FAT with a capital F, A, and T! She burns her derriere on the light bulb, scares the scales, and displaces more water than an infant whale!

In 1997 she looked very nice, and if she'd have been my bird that's how she would have stayed. (No, I don't mean I'd stick her in stasis!) I'd have been watching her consumption and exercise levels, and would have put my foot down when things started going wrong. If she'd resisted, I'd have walked.
