Oh well I'll just confirm again what I've said before, that I for one don't think you or Slinky could ever be described as stick thin annorexic and for anyone to do so or to insult either one of you to the other, or indeed anyone else of a similar size or smaller for that matter is inexcusable. If someone is naturally slim then that is their natural shape and shouldn't be ridiculed.

I don't know what it's like to be a very slim person who would like to gain weight and can't. I've never been there. It isn't something I've experienced. I do know what it's like to be a fat person and then an obese person who has tried to lose weight and only ended up gaining more and I do know what it's like to be ridiculed and told that I'm a liar and that all I need to do is eat less. I even believed that all I needed to do was eat less, and then less than that when it wasn't working and couldn't understand why it wasn't working until I finally learned only a few months ago how metabolism works and how the human body stores fat from the most meagre resources.

I do still go along with the sentiments of the TV program last night that presenting artificially thin women who diet in order to get even thinner as a norm to be aspired to is unhealthy, dangerous and very, very wrong. I'm talking about slim people who want to LOSE weight, not about slim people who are happy with their weight or slim people who want to gain a bit. This is about how they are endangering their health and presenting a role model to young girls who are then endangering their health and even putting their lives at risk by trying to emulate them when they already have lovely slim attractive figures. Maybe kids like that need to be 'insulted' to shock them into looking at themselves and realising what they are doing to their bodies with the dangrous dieting when they are already thin.

I'm not twisting anything Tinkerbelle. I'm just trying to explain to you that neither I nor Gary nor Gayle ever set out to insult you, Slinky or anyone on AccyWeb or even anyone not on AccyWeb by referring to the general public's preconceived idea of what a model should be and Gayle simply saying that wasn't what she was looking for for her fashion show.

BTW you can both call me fat if you like. You do better to call me obese as that is more accurate but please don't call me a cow. I don't mind you speaking the truth. That isn't an insult, it's merly factual and I know that fat people look ugly. I've been told that before. However, I also think that annorexic models look ugly. Slim people on the other hand look attractive and you two as slim attractive people surely cannot imagine that anyone could ever class you alongside the ugliness of the superwaif catwalk model image.
