I was trying to convey the sensation. It's a quick sting and goes away immediately like when you snap a rubber band on your wrist.That sounds awful!

Laser doesn't really doesn't hurt that bad. If you've waxed before then it's a walk in the park.
This is what I'm talking about...in the interview posted, no mention of trying to better your health. Instead of encouraging people to improve your health if you've gained weight, she simply tells them to accept it and love yourself. I'm not saying people should start hating their bodies, but if they can see their gaining weight, they should be encourage to lose that weight for health reasons...because they love their body, not to just accept it.
Lots of people change their appearance for their partners. If a woman wants to shave bare cause their man likes it, go for it!

Why does she have to tell people to improve their health if they gain weight just because she's a plus size model?
Regular and I really mean these anorexic looking models are never held to this same expectation . She appears to accept herself and that is what she is telling other women.

Because she's being presented as a role model. And yes, I feel if a model is unhealthily skinny, she should try to work towards a healthy lifestyle.
As I said, I think it's great she's saying women shouldn't hate on themselves, but I also think she should encourage a healthy lifestyle as well. As it's coming across now, it seems shes telling women it's cool to be overweight and no need to change anything...which isn't a positive message.
I'd love to know if any model... short, fat, tall, thin, quirky, curvy, sticklike, glamorous etc... really accepts themselves as much as they claim. I can buy it for short bursts of time but if your job and life is mostly based on how you look I don't see how it doesn't make you crazy... at some point.
I'm more likely to think thin models are the most neurotic but who knows... The human body changes a lot over a lifetime, so do various trends... what's popular now isn't going to last forever.
And at the end of the day models are out there selling a very specific product.
I'm probably more likely to take "love yourself and body" advice from someone who wasn't a model.

I just have a question. I've read a few pages of this thread and I assume there are threads here for 'normal' models, so do posters guess their weights like they're circus acts as well?
Not everyone wants to live a healthy lifestyle and that's their damn right. Not sure why Amber needs to be the spokesperson for a healthy lifestyle to fit some mysognistic message. Men have no actual idea the torture so many women put themselves through emotionally and mentally just for not accepting themselves for gaining a few pounds...women are impacted by hormones, pregnancy, age, etc...theres nothing wrong with a person telling you to love yourself throughout. There are people out there who already advocate for a healthy lifestyle; why can't she just be the advocate that says love yourself? Women can pull motivation and positive message from multiple sources simultaneously. Are we that simple as a species? GTFOHWTBS.

She doesn't have to be...but when you're pushing forth a message to continue an unhealthy lifestyle as a role model for women, I'm gonna call her on it.
And if you read what I've said, I've reiterated numerous times that I support the idea to love yourself no matter what your weight. I'm not talking about "regular women" here. This is a thread about a model, who's put in the spotlight for her body, which is directly affected by her diet and lifestyle and who is saying "there's nothing wrong with being unhealthy". That's a problem for me given that 1/3 of Americans are overweight.
