I’m sure that she is a lovely lass, and it’s awful that she has been bullied about her size. However, being that size cannot possibly be good for her. She is setting herself up for a host of medical problems in the future, for example, type 2 diabetes. There are no positive spins.

She has no medical problems, she’s as healthy as the next lass. Probably healthier than half of the skinny catwalk waifs who’ll have bone problems in later life

The woman on that cover isn’t curvy, she is obese. There’s a huge difference.

And? She's not the only one who is obese and I never said she was cirvy. I said I like curvy women. Everyone is different and yes she could cost the NHS money in the future but you don't know that.
 
A lot of lads on this board seem to be conscious about their weight, hopefully this will encourage them to be comfortable with their own bodies.

She is not healthy if she is grossly overweight.

I’m sure she’s not going to drop down dead there mate, it’s not healthy to be too skinny either, but it’s good that she can encourage lasses who are the same size to feel good about their weight.
 
It’s ironic that they are showcasing the female body in all its glory, be it fat or thin, but they’ve obviously airbrushed her skin to smooth out her thighs, because I’ve tattooed loads of girls that size and the skin is never that perfect (she might simply be the exception to the rule, like, but I doubt it). Either show people in all their glory or show us an unrealistic fantasy woman, don’t try and have it both ways.

She's a beautiful woman, but dangerously overweight (as am I, but I've got 10 years on her and recently after a period of ill health found out I have Diabetes). So I've ditched cake, cheesecake, sweets, puddings, donuts, biscuits, icecream, pastries, full fat pop, kebabs, white bread, white rice, white pasta, sausages, bacon). I now eat granola for breakfast, multi seeded brown bread, eggs, cheese, prawns, tuna, salad, jacket potato, chicken kebab, veg, fruit (that isn't high in sugar), low sugar pop, low sugar jelly.........nothing that has red labels under the traffic light system). I see the nurse next week, I'm hoping to reverse it through diet and exercise rather than having to go on medication.

Good luck! Great post
 
She's apparently 280 lbs. 50 lb heavier than me an I'm almost a foot taller.

I'm a bit overweight. Plus size, if you like.

She's definitely morbidly obese.

Careful mate, granola can be full of sugar.

Good luck with the diet, it’s a great idea to try and sort the diabetes out that way rather than become reliant on medication. You’ll see the weight fly off as well if you can stick with it.

She’s fat as fuck mate, it shouldn’t be promoted or glamorised in any way. It isn’t healthy no matter how you try and spin it. If you like fat lasses fair enough there’s nout wrong with that, but there is something wrong with a magazine who a large portion of their target demographic will be teenage lasses promoting obesity as the norm.

But people are not the same some women think they are fat when they are skin and bone. Other women look at themselves and eat more to make themselves feel better but only makes the situation worse. I like a woman to be like a woman to be curvey Kelly brook is I'm my mind perfection of the female form

And Kelly brook is at a perfectly healthy weight. This bitch ain't

Plus size model Tess Holliday stars on the cover of Cosmo UK | IMAGE.ie

Well done to cosmopolitan and to the lass, who’s endured a lot of cruel comments over the years.

Hopefully this will let any lasses with doubts about their size feel a bit better about themselves, looks like the fashion industry is abandoning the ‘skinny’ look that’s lead to so many eating disorders over the years.

Yeah great idea... lets go the other way and tell girls that they should aspire to be obese!

Why are you sure she's a lovely lass?
