Why is everyone bashing themselves over weight?

Recently I've been seeing that phrase all over Facebook. Every 'voluminous' girl and some guys agree with it. I, too, used to agree with it. Why? Because I'm on the overweight side.

Pictures like these and phrases like that made me feel that it was 'okay' to be overweight because men like 'curves'.
Men do like curves, but to an extent.

I only saw this as a way to escape my problems of always being on the plus side until I stopped and thought about the slimmer girls.

It's so unfair to bash them as not 'real'. Women work to be fit and most were gifted to have fast metabolism. Sadly, I don't have that gift.

Everyone comes in different sizes, shapes, heights, and weights. We are both unique.
Just because we are different from one another, that doesn't give us the right to be little someone for their short comings or out of jealousy.

What if the tables turn? Will women still agree with the phrase?

In the end, it's about living a healthy life, but most importantly, being comfortable and confident in your own skin.

We all have our problems and we all feel insecure about ourselves. I think it's time we accept who we are as a person. If not, change what we need to change. But above all, love ourselves 'cause if don't; then we will never know what love is.

First of all I would like to say, overweight is unhealthy, underweight is unhealthy but no one should be ashamed for their body or weight. I mean its really much harder for a person to loose weight if one us too ashamed to walk outside since people are do mean. And skinny people have pressure to put on weight to look more "feminine"

However, you can't compare fit man with muscles with a girl that is a model, most likely underweight. Underweight is pretty much unhealthy for both men and women. Being fit and having muscles is a sign of healthyness. Skinny doesn't mean one is healthy. Having muscless often does.

No one should try to look the extreme becaiuse no extreme is healthy but no one should be ashaned to walk outside and being proud of your bidy is important. Everyone can look good, no matter of weight.

No one can be happy.

If we promote the super thin super model standard, we have to then promote the overweight standard as well. We as a society forget the majority of people who fall in the middle. If everyone was happy with how they looked, many professions would cease to exist. Makeup industries would fail, gyms would fail, certain food brands would fail... etc.

I just don't think skinny is attractive in a woman, but to heavy is also not attractive.

I think some of those "Dove" women were fairly attractive compared to the victoria secret women who seemed mostly to skinny.
