Plus size model...sorry. Your obese.

This frighteningly-obese woman being paraded through the MSM as a "plus-size model" is one of many salvos being fired at the populace by TPTB in their never-ending war of perception. By portraying this woman as not only normal but physically attractive, TPTB are conditioning the public to believe that their sorry state of physical health isn't a problem at all. They're trying to keep the public from noticing that the real reason they're so damn fat is because TPTB have poisoned the food supply. Luckily, some of us know better.

You are spot on. Tess has PCOS, which is a condition of having high androgens (testosterone, DHEA). I have this condition myself and have to fight the battle every day.

We are not lucky like the rest of you in the gene pool. We have to work twice as damn hard and hope we lose a pound in a month.

I'm 40lbs overweight.. Not huge, but I would be huge if I didn't eat healthy and low calorie. It sucks.

If you can't pass the door, who cares?

Some people's physiological makeup is more sensitive to the poisoned food supply than others. I've always been like you -- super fast metabolism, can eat whatever I want, etc., but most people aren't built that way. The ways in which TPTB have poisoned the food supply were specifically designed to trigger as many negative reactions in the populace as possible. I'd say they've definitely succeeded, especially in the U.S., where the food supply is the lowest-quality, overall, of that of any developed country. That's why the obesity problem in the U.S. is the worst I've ever seen.

I eat 4-5k calories a day and I'm at 135 5'11". I would need to go up to 6-7 to even gain 1-2 lbs in a month.

so lucky...

Tess has it, too?

The one famous for discussing her PCOS is Whitney Thore from My Big Fat Fabulous Life.

You certainly are lucky. I'm 5' and weigh 155.

PCOS is being insulin resistant. Most girls with it are put on Metformin (a diabetes drug) to lose weight and/ or to become pregnant.

Due to the excess androgens lots of girls have to shave their faces, they start balding like a guy and are moody. A lot of them have high sex drives and some are bi or gay. It also sends lots of them to the ER for getting huge cysts that cause a lot of pain and need surgery to remove them.

So Please remember there is a difference between the fat people who are chugging down tons of crap food.. And us that are overweight or obese from a true hormone issue.

I'm sorry, you are correct! I am confusing them with each other. Thank you for pointing that out!!

I agree, she is fat. I look very much like her and I hate myself much of the time because of it. I'm older (50), and hypothyroid but that doesn't make it any different. It's not healthy. I don't believe she is happy, other than financially, especially not at that young age. When you have a weight problem, it is much like that of an alcoholic, the struggle is real but not a disease as AA likes to call it. Anyone who thinks alcoholism is a disease is as full of it as anyone who thinks this is beautiful. Both are unattractive, unhealthy and a sign of human weakness plain and simple.

The saying "nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" comes to mind.

Insulting her isn't the answer. It's mean and I don't believe in hurting anyone EVER. Yes, we are all different and unique and deserve respect no matter what our physical appearance but I don't want young women looking up to her either. Tough love and compassion is the answer here.

I would take the money and go to a fat spa if I were her. I will never be happy with myself like this. I want to be thin, healthy and happy again more than anything.

On a positive note, this has inspired me to dedicate myself to true happiness and health. This she has such a pretty face crap just isn't cutting it anymore LOL.

I agree. I was trying to argue this point and was told Tess is only 5'3" so that makes her look squat and larger. Huh? She also apparently said the brands she models for wouldn't lie about her size.

I'm for supporting the beauty in plus size people, but they need to do their part and be truthful. She should just cop to wearing her true size, which appears to be larger than a 22.

Meh... i'd close my eyes and hit it still.

You're welcome! Whitney is a good role model and seems honest about her situation.

I agree, this is like promoting anorexia. Both are equally unhealthy,

She has a beautiful face. She really does. Imagine what she'd look like thin! That MORBIDLY obese body ruins it. Everything is backwards in this country. Notice how the waif look is just as popular. The only kind of women they don't promote are those that fall somewhere in between... the normal folks. Obesity, anorexia, gender fluidity... what an effed up world we live in.

Awww I think shes hot!
I would bang that like a screen door in a hurricane!

I actually prefer women with some meat on them, but there is a line between pleasantly curvy and fat -- and this woman has crossed it.

Well, I dont think you'd want a seat next to her on a plane.

Have you looked at photos of women 100 years ago? They ate crops they grew and little refined foods. They worked farming labor 12 hour days. ..and guess what? Many of my female relatives were considered overweight. So this tells me...it is frickn genetic. I could change my eating habits severely to very healthy foods with no refined sugars and exercise 12 hours a day and still be over what this society has deemed healthy. shut up about weight. We still don't even know what the causes are. it is theorized that if your genetic line went through a famine it changes genes to store energy or foods in the body differently. It is superficial to not consider many factors of weight.

Excuses excuses. FACT: if you ate less and exercised more you would be less fat.

Big Girls are Fun

Yes, they give you shelter in a storm

that is why I like to go on Picnics with the chubbies

Actually they have proven this may not be the case anymore, do some research. Ppl come in all shapes and sizes,deal with it. It's easy to imagine what u look like sitting at ur computer in ur moms basement.

And the first fatty to be featured in Sports illustrated swim suit edition was recently.

Rocks? Looks more like waddling to me.

FUN

Fat people are disgusting.

Do you even lift?

You don't understand the purpose of "Modeling"

Plus size model is a "Model" of what plus sized women should ideally look like.

Just like a "Model" of an airplane is specific to what type of Airplane you are trying to represent.

Or "Model" home can be a ranch, tri-level, double-wide trailer, etc.

A "Model" exists not for you to get your eye jollies but to represent something on film for various purposes, including the demonstration of fashion.

So...

Pretty but Fat as hell no getting around it no pun intended.

In other words she's a fat model for other fatties
