If anyone calls me skinny again I'm eating a cupcake

Ok, first, I'm very sorry for making you look at that photo. But I hate to admit we live in a world consumed with constantly looking thinner and thinner, where extremities are indulged and taken to a whole new level. It seems like no one really knows what is healthy these days when at one end we've got euro runway models and the other chubby women in dove ads, both who don't look very inspiring to me.
I've recently gained around 2-4 lbs (its just a guess as I don't own a scale), but I must say I'm liking it better than whatever I was before. Even the bf says "I hold weight well," whatever that means (?) but I'll take it as a compliment. I do think I look more proportioned with a tad bit of meat on me, even if my friend's new bf just told me I have "big muscular thighs."
Now I don't mean to get all Tyra Banks preachy on you to love who you are whatever weight that may be; trust me, I do not condone fatness, obesity, or overweightness in ANY way. People who are oboose (my word for singular obese people, goose=1, geese=many, right?) are unhealthy and gross and have stirred up a creepy fascination in me about how they go about living life, because I just simply do NOT understand (ie. how to 2 oboose people have sex?).
If you think I'm harsh, I beg you to watch a 300+ woman rolly pollying around the ground at disneyland eating, correction, devouring a huge slow-roasted turkey leg and let me know if you still think I'm mean.
So please all, embrace that extra pound or two, and do not strive for a thin appearance just for the sake of being thin, because in today's world our idea of thin is pictured in the above... and its grotesque.
