I find her face so much more interesting than her obviously gorgeous (and socially celebrated) body. Too bad the photographer didn't take full advantage of it in this shoot. Everything else is banal.
@NefariousNewt: Seriously! It's scary that these are the people who represent the student body of a school with a supposedly good reputation.
I'm pretty sure sexism goes against the Hyppocratic oath.

@ijustwritebooks: I was confused by that too. Then I thought maybe it's grammatically incorrect to describe a verb, "hurts," with an adjective "a lot," instead of an adverb? Like the proper way to say it would be, "My neck hurts badly."
@gametedisease: Well if you read the link within the story, and think it's credible, he does come across as jealous or very not self-aware.
@AllieCaulfield: She appears to have had the tip of her nose refined again.
She looks exactly like her mom now!

Shitty. Boss.
@kafkariffic: Or maybe the people who fall into "the norm" category should learn to accept that people exist outside of it? Who's to say who's right.
@Puddlefish: Me either. They claim they are naturally bigger than most models, and they love their "curves," but at the same time they're hawking diet pills and a very specific body ideal.
"We have curves! We're Armenian! We get lipodissolve and cellulite treatments! We're all natural! We'll never be skinny like A-list movie stars! Here take these pills! Love the body you have!"

@DeeLite: Kim also had a bunch of plastic surgery, in order to ensure that she would not be one of those skinny girls (i.e. breast implants, fat injections in her butt, facial fillers).
@PhillyLass: Your right, it shows you how little faith she has in herself (still more than her money manager has in making any a profit on a Madonna film), to not take a risk with her own money.
She's also supposedly really cheap and is paranoid about people overcharging her for paid services (says her brother's biography, i.e. not paying for her not-so-rich siblings to fly to her European wedding, even though she was a multimillionaire).

@lowkeylo: Her wiki now says that she has mental problems and is seeking therapy. (Personally, I think she has mental problems, probably a personality disorder, and what seems like years of drug abuse, most likely ritalin or coke).
@TheTeofTea: Yes, really. Really really!
Show me a study that says people who eat X have these diseases because of what they eat. If I see that I will shut up (but it has to be a legitimate study).
Because how do you know if someone has high cholesterol because of their genetics or because they're fat. And how do you know if someone is fat because of what they eat or because of their genes (yes, there are people who are fat by nature, and no science isn't able to tell the difference between genetically fat people and people who are only fat because of what they eat). The reason what you said is incorrect is because it's not proven. Correlation does not equal causation!

@TheTeofTea: "Obesity related illnesses (and I think it should probably be called Diet or Food Related illnesses because most people who are obese and ill their obesity and their illnesses are linked inextricably to how they're fueling their bodies) both shortens life and shortens quality of life which has larger social implications beyond one person getting diabetes or whatever."

@Katxyz: You make a good point. I was wondering why Oprah's comment felt weird, even though it seems like it would be true.
@amcn: As a fellow awkward person, I feel like she'd be thinking "ugh, Oprah," not because she doesn't feel grateful, but because she doesn't feel like she can perform socially at Oprah's level, and she knows she's going be awkward x100 and Oprah will call her out on it. I'm aware that I'm projecting here, but it's like expressions and feelings of thanks or gratefulness are completely trumped by the anxiety that anticipates an event like going on Oprah. I don't think it necessarily makes a person "ungrateful."
If Howard Stern and Susan Powter actually saw Gabby in person, they would realize that they see people her size or bigger everyday and don't immediately preach to them about how "diseased" they are.
They should at least acknowledge that she is surrounded by people who are on the small end of the body size spectrum, and any time you take a photo or frame a shot of someone, they look bigger than they actually do because in real life the border of the 'frame' is seemingly nonexistent.
@missmonster: I also am not a fan of anti-depressants, they made my depression worse. I recently started researching bipolar disorder, because I think I might have that, and one website said anti-depressants make bipolar people cycle more rapidly, and in order to prevent this they should be taken with a mood stabilizer. I'm not a doctor and I have yet to see a psychiatrist about this, but it might be something to look into if you think you could benefit from medication but have had an adverse reaction to it.
Dear Mr. Cockbibs,
I doubt anyone thought your bibs were conceived in anything but jest until you started complaining, you should've just went with it! Enjoy the free publicity.
Sincerely,
