[quote=Rissask;1129714]Did I say she was obese? No, she would have to gain some to be considered obese, sure. 209 pounds she would to be.
Give her time, she is 17, it might happen. People do tend to gain as they get older unless they change their ways. And if she is getting positive reinforcement for being heavy, then their is no motivation.
She is very apple shaped too, and the visceral belly fat is the kind that is
really unhealthy.
I don't know Riss, she must be very comfy in her skin to enter a beauty contest. Which to me means she is likely happy with herself. If she has confidence and strives to maintain herself the way she is, she will be fine. Maybe going in a contest like this will giver her even more confidence and she will decide to work harder on her body and loose a few lbs so she can enter more and do better!
I see so many girls who yoyo diet so they can be "perfect". How healthy is that for a body? Or some that are so obsesed with excercising that they wear themselves out. There are extremes on both ends.
I really don't think that one heavier Miss England is going to make all the girls want to be just like her. There are far too many bones with skin on them out there for them to strive for!
