(I agree on the 'not a predictor of health' comment, as well. I'm overweight and have been for the better part of my life, and it was only very recently that it's started effecting my health at all. My overweight step mother is otherwise healthy save for bad knees that were a result of early onset arthritis. Now my overweight mother was sadly on side of 'severely unhealthy from the get-go' but, again, weight =/= instant health issues all the time.)
no subject
My roommate it much bigger than I am, and also much healthier, both herself (she can lift more than I can, run longer than I can, and I'm only ever faster than her because I'm taller) and her diet (she cooks her own food most of the time, and ~loves~ veggies).
I sit around on the couch eating bagel bites all day, and while I'm not thin, most people wouldn't call me fat.
The world isn't as clear cut as people make it out to be.
Thank you for your kind comments. :D
no subject
That's almost exactly how it is with my roommate and I! She's short and certainly not fat (a little chubby after not working for almost a year, but that's going away fast with her new job) and I cannot for the life of me get her to eat a green vegetable that hasn't been cooked in to submission! XD I've given up trying at this point even if I would like to see her healthier, but its her choice in the end.
I do try to cook as much as possible for the house if and when I can. Going to school during the summer leaves me exhausted, and more so this year because I'm going through a shit-ton of medical tests to determine just how bad my health really is (so far, not as bad as they were thinking - diabetes sucks but is manageable. All my other numbers are either normal or just slightly above normal.) so we're probably not eating as good as we COULD be, but I think in this world anything helps even when you're not being as good as your doctors would like you to be.
And on the subject of plus-size cosplay (since its being discussed below) - being overweight should NOT be a deterrent to dressing up and having a good time. If you choose your costume wisely, make it well and with pride, you can be just as good looking as the thin cosplayers. If anything in this topic is a choice, THAT is.
And there ARE larger characters out there, you just have to know where to look. I personally would love to do Telma from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess some day, if I ever get the time.
SORRY I'm rambling, but this is one subject I have a hard time keeping quiet about, even with all the wank that is guaranteed to follow.
