and what do you consider obese?
when i was 12 years old, i weighed 125 pounds. our family doctor told my mother in front of me that i was fat and needed to be put on a diet. she basically ignored him, but i was floored by what he said. years later, i became bulimic and got down to 100 pounds. i still had assholes tell me i was fat. now i'm 40 and i'm 125 again. according to some bullshit medical standards at 5'2", i'm still considered overweight. along with all the impossible body types glamorized in the media and our culture, the last damned thing i'm gonna do is make women with weight problems feel even MORE guilty.
