I find it absolutely appalling how women can be so fickle. Are you Mo’Nique? Do you attend her drs visits? Are you privvy to her health issues (whether physical or mental)? Life is all about change… everyone has the perogative to do what is in their best interest. I myself am a BBW Erotic Glam model… While I don’t follow Mo’Nique as some mystical icon, I do appreciate the work she’s done, the confidence she has helped others achieve and her ability to live according to her OWN views. Whether she has WLS or not in my opinion does NOT discredit her accomplishments. It simply shows her as a woman who values herself regardless of her size and the views of others. Most women that admire her will not fault her for doing what she feels is best… call her phoney or a liar… they will understand and wish nothing but happiness and health in whatever she chose to do. Attacking someones character based on how much they weigh is EXACTLY what we’ve all been fighting against… so why perpetuate the BS? Opinions are like… you know the saying… everyone has one… but before publicly attacking someone’s character… LOOK IN THE MIRROR and recognize your own shortcomings and put that energy towards bettering yourself… not tearing someone else down.

Just some food for thought…

I don’t think its a big deal that she is getting this surgery! Why because at the end of the day its about health! We all can be proud of being plus size women , because for most of us that is how we alway have been, and after years of putting ourselves down we rantto be proud. We could stand to lose weight! Not for the look of it, but for health reason alone! I’m not saying try and get in a size 6 or even an 8, but to have you BMI be under 30! I may not be getting any surgeries, but I am taking a stand on being a healthier me for the long run! I want to live, I want to be healthy, I want children.

Just because we are plus size does not mean we have to be unhealthy. To lose 10-20% of out body weight will not make us un proud plus size women. Guess what?! I am 5′10 size 16/18 and weigh 242lbs. In my mind I the hottest thing smoking, but I know down the line this 242 lb can leave me open to heat disease, high blood pressure and a list of health problems. So Yes I want to drop 50 to 60lbs and I still be be a confident and sexy plus size woman! Please check out Club cushions for more to come!!!

if you are down to be a sexy proud and healthy plus size woman, join the club cushions movement!

You can’t be that fat and healthy. Period.
The sooner you realize this the better you’ll live. I went from 300 pounds to 250. I’m no wafer now but that 50 pounds made a HUGE different in my health and quality of life!
