Why is it discusting when an average size man loves a large woman, but no one says a word when an average size woman loves a big man? I see lots of thin pretty women with really overweight guys and no one minds at all. AND those guys don't get labeled as "dumb" just because of their size either (even when they are rather dumb). Another thing, no one ever says, "Your embarrassing the family because you're dating a dyed blond, or a paraplegic, or a barmaid etc.) Why is size always the only thng that matters???? I am a plus size woman married to a normal size man. No, he doesn't like plus size women, he just happened to fall in love with me, not for my size but for who I am. He would be ecstatic if I lost weight and has backed me up 110% in all my weight loss efforts over our 27 years together. But with every failure he continued to love ME. That, my friends, is how it's supposed to be. I'd also like to say that the happiest time of my life was when I finally gave up dieting and decided to love me for who I was. I stopped worrying about food and what & how much I ate. Not only was it a tremendous weight of my shoulders but I also actually lost weight by not focusing on food. I was a much happier person. That's also when I met my sweetheart and I truley believe it was because I was more pleasant and fun to be around. Having been overweight since I was 6 months old, I have tons more to say on this subject, but I'll shut up for now.
