I do appreciate what Monique and others like her are trying to do. Not everyone is going to be 'skinny', and I don't think that anyone should kill/sicken themselves to try to get there. I am 5'11'' and wear a 14, so while I'm not fat and am a long way from the size 2 or 4 that the top models can rock, and I'm cool w/that.
My issue w/her 'campaign' is the health piece. I'm not a doctor so I could be way off base, but I just can't fathom a 300+ lb. woman pushing a size 24 or better being healthy. I could be wrong, and these sistahs could be in peak physical condition w/o any negative repercussions from their added weight. However, it just seems so unlikely. If they are all healthy, then more power too you. Please do your thing. However, I don't know that I'm a fan of sacrificing a healthy lifestyle in exchange for strong self-esteem. It just seems like it'll come back to bite you in the end.
