Big is beautiful?

Obesity is a problem which is rapidly growing all over the world. It can cause great risk to your health with illness like high cholestrol,thus increasing risk like heart disease and stroke. Obesity is something which people would consistently try to hide, and majority felt inferior and less confident to others. Words like "fat", "obese" and "chubby" is definite a taboo for everyone, especially women. They are highly sensitive to the word "fat" and in fact, the number of people who seek to slim down is shooting up in a bullet speed.

However in this article, the women were doing the opposite. They stood with full confidence, flaunting their chubby body. Folds of flesh, thick arms and thighs, cellulite- even with all these, they confidently showcase their body with the effort to convey that "Big is Beautiful". However, it does not mean that being obese is fine. The models who took part in shooting the pictures for the calendar were well aware that obesity post danger to their lives and it should not be taken lightly.

Although it is good to feel confident of what you are and how you look like, obesity is a health problem whichshould not be neglected. Negligence of dealing with obesity would in turn affect your live, or worst, lose your precious life. I hope that instead of the increasing percentage of obesity in Singapore (6.9 in 2004, 10.8 in 2010), people would start to shake of the fats and cellulite on them in hope of leading a healthier lifestyle.
