Why do you think "plus size" model got shamed for losing weight?

[MatureDJ]

I was reading this and it got me thinking:

Ashley Graham has made a name for herself as a confident, size 14 model who encourages women to embrace their bodies. But now Ashley, the first plus-size model to appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, is catching heat for appearing thinner in recent Instagram pics.

“What happened to embracing your size? You advertise that message then go and lose weight??

“Fake fat person. … You’re not overweight, stop saying you are. If you are fit, own it, don’t crutch on what made you famous. If you changed, just keep it real, don’t tell me you’re fat when you look like perfection.

my opinion: It seems like these folks - and I will presume that they are all fat chicks - are wanting a fellow fatty to stay fat. To me, this says that these fat chicks really don't even want to be healthy and are envious that someone like them has become a better person. How abhorrent!

Maybe a feeling of betrayal where, she was a role model for fat chicks... Also, when somebody else is successful, it represents more so than anything else your failures to find success as well.

Chicks can never be happy for other chicks. When they are envoious the fangs always come out. 1. She is a model. 2. She lost weight making herself a better person. If it was a guy we would all be saying, hey bro good job. But chicks can't do that.

It is the crabs in a bucket syndrome. If someone tries to better themselves the others try to pull them down.

The land whales lost one of their own.

Whales mourn when one of their own has gone.

Lol @ plus size models. It's like saying smart stupid person.

Instead of congradulating this girl on a healthy decision, they choose to condone her.

... Women

Misery loves company. How dare she try to make herself better?

It's basically saying how there is something wrong with fat people if these mdoels lose weight. Fat people have the largest egos out of any other type of person in the world because they just believe that there is nothing wrong with them at all (hence how they got so fat), and a plus size model losing weight means that there is something wrong with them that they cannot deny. There is also the female competitive drive too which creates jealousy amongst many women. Those who see others like them and representing them and making them look good (the fat 'model' representing the fat person makes the fat person look good because she is technically a model who is fat and that somehow proves to fat women that being fat is beautiful), and then the representative suddenly tries to break away and better him or herself (the model losing weight), the original fatty can't handle that because now that means that being fat isn't beautiful. Funny thing is, no one really says that, the fat person just feels that that's the case, which means that they know deep down inside that there is something wrong with them but that they just refuse to do anything about it.

The thing that SJWs don't understand (ignore) about excess body fat (fat, not weight,which is a different thing entirely) is that it is top five morbidity/mortality factors in medicine; probably second behind psychological stress; maybe third or fourth behind genetic and environmental factors. Excess fat contributes substantially to:

-Heart disease
-Diabetes and other endocrine disorders
-Cancer
-Cardiovascular disease
-Arthritis
-Dementia
