What should she do? "Save Jamaica and Lost Some Bone Mass" ...Doe B Dumb&lt;br&gt;And I think the choice of kitty has to do with being cute ... not athletic or agile&lt;br&gt;And there are many people that believe that very slim and "fit" people are unattractive as well, AND being slim does not mean that you are fit.&lt;br&gt;Therefore for you to write your comments and your opinion is one thing&lt;br&gt;But for you to bash her for trying to give some young women confidence about their body types and look for one of the most unflattering pictures of her *because normally speaking miss kitty has lovely outfits ...this was for carnival and she was hosting something for RE TV * is ignorant&lt;br&gt;Therefore, maybe you should do some more research on Fluffy and what it means instead of throwing out random facts about diabetes.&lt;br&gt;It's people like you that contribute to society's rigid image of beauty and makes hundreds of girls get sick every day trying to conform to it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ms Kitty Lovr</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:25:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Battle of the Sexes: The Samson &amp;#038; Delilah Story.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2009/10/battle-of-the-sexes-the-samson-delilah-story/#comment-23525179</link><description>I kinda stuffed up the word 'by' in my last comment :D</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Graham</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:50:40 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Battle of the Sexes: The Samson &amp;#038; Delilah Story.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2009/10/battle-of-the-sexes-the-samson-delilah-story/#comment-23525115</link><description>I kinda agree but only the smart and the strong NEVER fall for a female immdiately or fall for their little tactics.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damn it man, this fluffy thing is ridiculous. I agree that it benefits no one to glorify being not just overweight but morbidly obese. We live in a nation that for some reason enjoys praising negative things, from gun violence, to rape, to ignorance, to plain stupidity. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now let me clear up some things before I go on:&lt;br&gt;1. Obesity is measured by BMI, and is as follows, Overweight= 25-29; Obese = 30-39 Morbidly (Extreme) Obese 40-54&lt;br&gt;2. On that scale, I am Obese and I actually agree with it.&lt;br&gt;3. I like Ms. Kitty, she makes me laugh and smile very much. She is an amazing Media Personality and brings much to the atmosphere.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That being said, since the very first time I heard the term uttered my thoughts on it have not changed. I understand the idea of I am showing I am proud of me, I just believe that if I am really proud, I don't have to put on a facade to prove it. It's like a girl who can't leave home without make-up and a weave - it's a daily lie! As Shakespeare said, that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet and as everyone else says, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck. Therefore, fluffy or fat, the truth remains you are what you are. Prettying it up only stinks of complacency, and reeks of insecurity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the 60's James Brown wasn't prettying it up by saying, I'm proud to be an African-American, he said "I'm Black and I'm Proud". State who you are and why you are proud to be who you are - don't go around corners and excuse it. Because now, what does she do? She has made this her image, if she somehow presents with diabetes (which is highly likely) and is forced to lose weight by her doctor who will say - get fit or die quick is she then a non-entity?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As an individual who is not mawga nor wishes to be, but understands that I am not in a healthy state I would rather you refer to my physique as fat not fluffy. Those who have called me fluffy in my presence have been corrected. I am not fluffy, cats are fluffy, some dogs are fluffy and if you mess with my hair, it gets fluffy. Me, I am fat, overweight, and on some days obese. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Understanding and accepting yourself are not the same as putting on a facade and pretending the mask is reality.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Sha</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:21:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Blackberry Messenger 5.0, How to.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2009/07/22/blackberry-messenger-5-0-how-to/#comment-17027133</link><description>i just upgraded my 8900 to OS 5.0 but cant seem to get BBM working. how can i resolve this? thank you</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">kayedd</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:55:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Abortion in Jamaica, Legalize It.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2008/02/10/abortion-in-jamaica-legalize-it/#comment-16840307</link><description>I belive that abortion in general is psychologically, morally and constitutionally incorrect.

But let us not forget that there are health conditions of being too slim, i.e. undernutrition. Also there is anorexia and bulimia, normally the result of psychological problems of skewed self-image among both males and females. Eating too much and eating too little are both problems. Personally i have tried not to be absorbed in my weight but recently had to wake up to the fact that I'm about 30 pounds heavier than I was 7 years ago. I've been avoiding that obsession with weight that we females tend to get when we think what is in the mirror is "fat". Scary. So i ignored the weight I was putting on and tried to play down the ever-increasing "pouch". It was recently said straight up to me that I need to do something about this. Which I'm trying. I've started with a bit more physical activity with yoga in the mornings and walking / jogging on some evenings. My weight fluctuates under normal circumstances so my success is not yet apparent according to the bathroom scale. I can tell you that I feel better each time i'm done with yoga or with walking and jogging. And it is not always about losing weight. I would be happy if i can lose something but it is more important to me right now to at least know that I'm doing much more than the nothing i've been doing for years. I don't believe that people should be looked down on because they are fat. I don't agree with the merciless staring pointing laughing episodes that I see from time to time. But I do believe that each person should make a personal effort to be healthy in terms of eating the right foods (not dieting) and exercising. And the best thing to do is to avoid those "reasons not to exercise". You know "when I'm done with school" or "it might rain" or "I don't have any company". Just do it. People need to accept that doing all the right things may not always make you thin so being healthy - not just losing weight - should be the objective.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">guest</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:34:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: No Ms.Kitty; Being fat is not cool.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2009/08/no-ms-kitty-being-fat-is-not-cool/#comment-15843647</link><description>I like Miss kitty too, her energy and also her self confidence, but seriously she need to loose some weight and posing in that outfit is not sexy.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stunnerj</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 22:42:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: No Ms.Kitty; Being fat is not cool.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2009/08/no-ms-kitty-being-fat-is-not-cool/#comment-15738757</link><description>i love her, i really do, but being fat isn't "cool" and not something to aim to be.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jamaipanese</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:07:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: No Ms.Kitty; Being fat is not cool.</title><link>http://www.gordonswaby.com/2009/08/no-ms-kitty-being-fat-is-not-cool/#comment-15714297</link><description>To answer your question Gordon:  Does this picture look sexy?

That being said, there comes a point where these women are being delusional. Sure, you're comfortable with your fat (yeah right), but that doesn't mean you should be encouraged to stay that way or hate others because they're NOT fat. The bottom line is that you are not healthy and, while you should be comfortable in your skin, you should realize the reality of your situation.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">microrahsheen</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:21:05 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
