Alright, I Know It's Relative, But...

I grow a little weary of these weight loss commercials and ads that show fat women in dresses. These are supposed to be the "look at you now" pictures. They're not models with just a little extra so they look like people of a normal or proportionate weight - they're fat chicks in dresses. I have a real problem with weight loss companies "celebrating success" by showing pictures of people who are still fat. These are people who have probably done pretty well in their efforts towards reaching their goal, but they are by no means done. And I've got a problem with these advertisers trying to paint "still fat" as "oh! you did it!"

Don't distort success.
