Sali is just ALWAYS right. That's her thing. Being right all the time. It's like magic.

Strange that when someone like James Corden graces the front cover of a magazine nobody bats an eyelid, yet as soon as an overweight woman dares do so, the likes of Piers Morgan is up in arms. Double standards, much?

It is common sense that being overweight is unhealthy and should not be promoted. It’s like promoting smoking. It’s not illegal to smoke tobacco but it should not be celebrated
-
She’s not ‘promoting being overweight’ though, is she? Is she holding a sign saying ‘Look like me!’? She’s simply existing without apology- doing her JOB which is to have her photo taken. She’s promoting being comfortable in your own skin and you’re trying hard to undo her work!

I think a lot of people are confusing Tess going to work with the responsibility of the magazines to promote health.
-
Quite!

I've been following Tess for a while. She gets grief from all sides. First the haters who just don't think its cool to be over size 12, then the feminist who think shes turned herself into a 'fetish' and also the modelling world who regard her as a gimmick.

Yes, it can be unhealthy to be obese -- but d'you know what got me? It can be unhealthy to be stick thin like some other women on covers. It's high time we as a society stopped telling women how to look and just butted out.

All very confusing. We rightly vilify the use of unhealthily emaciated (size 0) models but apparently must laud - or at least accept - unhealthily fat ones. Doesn’t using either inherently condone (at best) or promote (at worst) a horribly dangerous lifestyle? What am I missing?
-
The point?
-
Apparently so. Do go on...
-
People all look different. Reminding people to accept everyone is important.
-
A GOOD point (and I agree) - but I’m unconvinced it’s THE point. Piers Morgan’s (much derided) point was, “Should we accept the unhealthy BEHAVIOUR that has LED to her appearance - and should Cosmopolitan run the risk of being seen to condone such unhealthy behaviour?”
-
In (laudably) rejecting pursuit of the unhealthily emaciated female body image propounded by much of the fashion industry, she has lurched so far in the opposite direction that she’s equally - perhaps even more - unhealthy as a consequence. Accepting her behaviour is no solution.
-
It sounds like you know everything about her lifestyle and medical history. Are you her GP?

This is everything I want to say. But am not able to articulate due to rage. Bravo! Fantastic writing.

It's a bit of a worry that people's self-esteem is bound to the whims of these garbage magazines in the first place. It's a very cynical that they're breaking people down one year then selling the story to relieve their despair the next. Like the poison and cure in one bottle.
