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.

Again, I'm curious. How much did you guess her weight to be?

Please point out her exact quote where she says there's nothing wrong with being unhealthy. She tells women to love themselves. Provide the receipts....

I said she's over 190.

There is no exact quote, but I'm also not dumb enough that I can't interpret her attitude and opinions about her lifestyle based on what she says. When an interviewer asks about your weight (and how you're overweight) and you say "Just love yourself" you're saying you don't need to be healthy to love yourself. I've yet to read an article where she encourages healthy lifestyles or that she's going to work towards losing weight. All she says is love who you are...which is good, but it also encourages apathy towards one's health.
And again, she can do and say whatever she wants. I just feel there's this confusion with loving one's body as saying it's OK to be over/under weight. It's not. It's 100% false that you can be healthy and over/underweight. Sure, maybe right now, when you're under 35, but there's not one doctor (worth a $h1t) that will agree that longterm excessive weight (over or under) is healthy. I'm not going to support people who put forth those ideals.

So tired of mysognist telling women how they need to behave to fit their narrative. Apparently Women are too stupid to carve their own.

GTF over yourself. Haha! Yes, my woman hate is driving my narratives. Again, you conveniently leave out the parts where I've repeatedly said she can do and say whatever she wants. If this was an overweight male model, my feelings and comments would be exactly the same. This has nothing to do with males or females. This is a thread about a model who's overweight. All my comments are in regards to someone's lifestyle when it comes to health. It's cool if you don't agree with me, but don't come in here trying to pin that misogynist bull$hit on me...especially when you can't even spell it correctly. Oh wait, is this where I get to post a Beyonce gif??

Just general wonderment... Chrissy Teigan is a self proclaimed junk food girl... She posts all over her IG all of the crap she eats and her cookbook is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from healthy. Is she considered promoting an "unhealthy lifestyle"? I mean she may be the ideal body type but she probably has high cholesterol and BP.

Meh...idgaf what this galaxy keyboard does anymore especially not when I'm at happy hour. The shoe fits you though both misogynist and mysognist....left and right pair.

Haha...says the queen of implying $hit. You of all people know just cause someone doesn't come right out and say something word for word, their overall attitudes and other comments add up. You can post all the clever gifs you want. :rolleyes:
Nah I'm direct...I don't imply ish or do passive aggressive at all so dont project your lameness onto me. You clearly get off on this so carry on. You remindid me why I stopped responding to you.

There are so many other celebs who are out there living an unhealthy lifestyle....no comments on their threads that they're not promoting a healthy lifestyle.
