Hi everybody. I'm new so allow me to introduce myself:

My Name is Spencer and I am 19 years old.

But anyway, I'm not sure if anybody posted this yet, but on the current season of America's Next Top Model, there is a contestant named Heather who happens to have AS. I thought this was really cool.

There are already two threads on this model.
One in news and current affairs, and one in this section.

She needs to gain atleast 30lbs. That look is gross.
Edit: She doesn't have boobs either.

on top model though, size 0 is the thing.

I wonder if I were to say someone was too fat if that would be socially correct.

Its not socially correct to say someone is too skinny either. Either side of the weight scale could be related to an eating disorder.

As for myself I don't mind calling someone skinny. I have a friend thats anorexic and I tell her shes too skinny.

Do you have problems telling someone if they are too fat?

I don't mind the look of overweight people. It doesn't make me gag.
