This is entirely anecdotal. Maybe she binged when not around you.

Wait wait wait, so people who are like size 0-4 are healthy? Sorry, they aren’t either.

This is amazing.I want to attempt to teach a choir the song using these words… and convince foreigners that it is the actual Carmina Burana.

as someone that’s worked in the same industry, fashion designers will never really want to make clothing for big eaters. it takes a lot of fabric and time to make something that’s just going to look terrible on the person anyway.

nothing wrong with that at all! of course, the smaller girls are gorgeous as well, but 16 is still smoking hot!

Its not like that cant be overturned, with excercise and dieting. The article says she excercises daily, so maybe she just needs to modify her eating habits. A fat person does not necessarily mean always a fat person. Or at very least its possible to maintain that figure, though as age increases it might be wise to trim down a bit more to a healthy weight for her height.

If she’s so confident, what’s with the mid section cover up?
April 6th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
That was very good. Almost as good as yellow ledbetter

I think she gets her confidence in the fact that she sticks out for being different.

Even without kids, her metabolism will only slow down and she’ll be able to gain more weight for a given amount of calories.

The other girls you can see their ribs, and all pretty much look the same. Its gross.16 looks like a real woman.

[disclaimer: not trolling/flaming]Do you really think it matters or do you think her inclusion is a charlatan action of how open the judges are to body types?

I didn’t say that now did I???The topic was the size 16 chick and that’s what I commented on.On that topic though. My sister is, like, a size 1 or something. She eats like a pig and works out like an Olympic athlete and she is healthy as a mule. I hate her for it but she’s healthy.
