IMO it does depend on the size of someone, their height etc etc etc.

BUT when someone is obese and they literally have rolls that is not beautiful. DH says he would love me no matter how I am, but the other day on TV he saw a BIG girl (who was on TV because of her weight if I recall) and he was repulsed. I said to him that I thought he would love me even if I got that big. He said he still would, but come on, he may love me but find me attractive? I don't think so. It's all well and good thinking, if they are beautiful on the inside then you will always find them beautiful on the outside but I just don't think that works in 99% of cases. Sure there is people who may still find very obese women attractive but they are few and far between IMO.

I should state I am a size 14 after having my baby last December and I have one more muffin than what's stored in my kitchen and it's not edible! But I'm talking more of the severely obese people. I can't think they are genuinely happy with their weight deep down.

I personally wouldn't have a go at someone for being big. If they are genuinely happy and love themselves for exactly what they are than I'm happy for them. But IMO, is big beautiful? Not the extremely big, no.

Hmm I couldn't really say a size or weight that I think is too big, as it all depends on the build of a person and their height. But when someone gets to a weight that is making them ill and is unhealthy - that in my view is not beautiful.

As in regards to my weight and a weight I would be unhappy with? At a guess it would probably be anything over the average weight I should be for my height. I'll be happy with being healthy mostly.
