Healthy, my ass

Many blacks love big women, but having a rump the size of Buffie the Body's can put women at risk for disease.

    I Am Torn

    because I am inherently attracted to rubenesque, voluptuous, ah hell lets get real, FAT WOMEN but I strive to eat healthy, exercise daily and even sleep well in order to lose weight and maintain a high degree of physical and mental health. As I sit here after finishing my three ounces of raw carrots, four ounces of broccoli, tomatoe and brown rice, I note that I am extremely attracted to women who look like Buffie the Body but I am disgusted with how they got that way. The hypocrisy is so damning to me because I love being healthy, feeling great and looking like a million bucks thanks to eating healthy and exercising but my attraction to and therefore implicit encouragement of unhealthy fat women flies in the face of reason itself. It makes me part of the obesity problem although I desperately wanted to believe I was part of the solution. Is this a bizarre case of deadly opposite attraction or what?
