It's sorta like saying that tumor is beautiful. You can be a good and beautiful person despite being overweight... but obesity is nothing to be celebrated.
As somebody who is into women too... I myself prefer baroque angel type bodytype  But there's curves and there's... "damn, you gonna die if you don't lose some of the weight". |
There is a line, that's true. But in Hamster's case, she is only 35 lbs over weight, which is not the "damn" phase just yet. I see people in the damn phase at work sometimes. People with BMI of 60+. And, working in the field I do, I know it's all about body chemistry and also genetics as well as lifestyle.
We have a patient who is 5'8", 110 lbs if that. Jogs daily. Eats a healthy diet. And she got type 2. How? That's supposed to be the "fat" illness. We also had a triathalon runner in the best shape, excellent diet get type 2. He was extremely angry. But, just recently, we saw a woman who was over 400 lbs. Her cholesterol is perfect, just got pre-diabetes, and only just barely, (like one point over the 'normal' range.) So... it's not just fat that causes all this. It does factor in, yes. But, there's a lot to it we don't understand.
