The question isn't whether she's good looking, it's whether she's healthy. I get the sense people just assume I'm attacking her and saying she's ugly because she's "chubby", if you prefer that term. For me, if you can be called chubby, you can be called fat. I guess I throw that term around easier than some people. People are acting butt hurt because I said she's fat, she still looks fat in the second photo quite honestly and I make no apologies for it.
No one's asking you to apologize, and the word "fat" doesn't offend me. I certianly wasn't assuming you were attacking her. However, you seem to be saying that she's unhealthy because she's "fat" or "chubby" based on her appearance, but getting upset when people say they like her appearance.
Internalized social attitudes have a lot to do with eating disorders, whether they are internalized in the sufferer, or in the person calling them "fat". Pointing that out, whether in her (which I've already done) or in you (which I haven't), is not an attack.

I didn't make any comments about her ability to fulfill any physical criteria you want to lay on. My commentary was aimed at social attitudes and the role they play in eatng disorders.
