To wish it was seen as the most beautiful thing ever to be super overweight

[weeducky]

Okay I know I am being because health but I am sat here really bloody hungry because I need to lose weight and I've had my morning 300 cals and it's just miserable. Heroin chic thin was in and I feel like if a BMI of 26/27/28 was seen as the pinnacle of beauty life would be lovely and I could eat what I wanted. Eating delicious food is such a source of joy and life would just be so much better if it was without guilt.

Don't worry, I know this isn't sensible realistically (even though we're potentially going that way) just dreaming because I really really want something delicious and filling for my lunch and I can't have it.

I do agree but it’s undeniable that it’s unhealthy to be overweight

Why did you say very overweight when you're clearly not? You sound like an ED waiting to happen and enough with the 'heroin chic.' It's shit enough being underweight without people assuming you're on drugs.

You’d have to be severely underweight to be at risk of malnutrition, osteoporosis, lowered immunity.

You'd have to be underweight and also malnourished and restricting food, I should think.

When I was in my early 20s, I worked at a ballet company and there were all these retired dancers who would turn up to do coaching and watch performances. They were often in their 80s (some even in their 90s) and they were generally incredibly youthful and seemed very fit. Obviously this is a specific example, but they're all people who BMI would say are "underweight" and they clearly weren't unhealthy.
