That picture with the baby-, mama- and papa-bear sized women is completely unrealistic. I can't believe how much it has already been discussed without more than one person saying it was photoshopped. I mean COME ON. I don't know where you all hang out, but I don't know any women the size of lady C who is in perfect proportion like that without looking muscular anywhere on her body. They ALL look fake because none of them have muscles! But most especially B & C. I could see A being a real photo because you can starve yourself to look like that, but when you get into the territory of B & C - it's virtually impossible to keep those proportions without working out and having muscles. They've obviously been smoothed out for the picture.

These improbably-shaped women have managed to help frame this thread in a way that health (and size) are determined solely by diet. Their sizes are irrelevant to their attractiveness. I mean, doesn't everybody know how our bodies like to gain fat in special places determined by our genes but that when we lose it, we lose it evenly all over our bodies? As women grow older, they don't just put on a few pounds... they look different because of all the ups and downs through life. I have been trying to "smooth my belly" for years, but now that it is actually getting smaller, I have lost so much fat all over my body that I am pretty sure my boobs have shrunk a good deal and my arms would look really bony if it weren't for the muscle. We are all shaped the way we are shaped, and based on that, we tend to look better at certain sizes. For instance, a woman who carries the weight in her hips (which is a traditionally womanly place to have curves) can put on a LOT more weight than I can before looking out of shape because I have always had narrow boy hips and a lower belly that sticks out. When I put on 5 lbs. of fat, I look disproportionately unhealthy.

Anyway, I could go on about this forever. My point is that the pictures are fake and size is moot. It's about relative proportions and where a woman wears the fat on her body.
