[TRIGGER WARNING]I'm just as flexible as skinny girls!-Size 22 woman attempts Yoga

[Praetor Lupus]

Kind of odd how they portray Buddha as a fat Chinese guy.
When he could just as easily have been a scrawny Indian guy from all the fasting...

Apparently the image we all recognise as Buddha is actually of a completely different figure, from Chinese lore I think, with a similar-sounding name - Bodidharma, or something. Buddha was reputed to be very thin, or at least in shape.

Anyway...

I see no reason Buddha would have been fat. Makes no sense really.

Just wait until you look into how little the various strains of Buddhism have in common with each other. That's not going to make much sense either.

And now back to fat yoga analysis.

WYB?

 

[britchard]

That dude has some serious leg strength. She is like 500 pounds!

This could be like the new "How much do you bench brah?" leg strength test.

 

[richler]

Come on, just admit that you love this Buddha-like Polynesian/Islander (I guess?) fatty who resembles an obscenely pliable giant baby, and also a goddess from some strange lost civilization, her face a mystical cipher of meatballs and placidity.

And I'm dead serious about how fit her poses -- especially that last one -- are to be a subject of public statuary. I would always want to walk by that coign of the garden where the majestic fatty is ever poised on her chubby hands in a state of concentration and repose.

She is a Willendorf Venus for an infertile age.

I agree that there is something archetypical here.

No -- The fatty statue is not some knockoff fertility goddess. I KNEW someone would misread it as that!

What I have in mind is a hyperrealistic representation of that exact pose of the fatty poised on her hands, including the yoga mat (as I specified), executed by a confident and loving master. It is both a more purely sculptural idea, and a more spiritual one at the same time, LOL.

 

[eradicator]

F'ing A! This would be a superb statue to put in a public garden. The mat has to be a part of it, of course.

Only if you want to use it as some sort of scarecrow to scare the animals away from your crops. It would scare the people away as well.

 

[AFS]

Nothing special or remotely difficult about the poses she is doing. In fact, in the one where she is sitting on the floor you can clearly see she can't do the pose correctly because all of her fat is in the way.

Really - how can she, for example, bring her head to her knee with all that fat in the way?

No way she is doing yoga correctly and not burning enough calories to slim down. I had a few sessions with a good instructor (one who had actually studied in India) and I was in a puddle of sweat at the end. But 90%+ of the people doing "yoga" out there are a joke.

 

[Horus]

It gets better: She has a gofundme so she can get a yoga teaching certification. She's actually very close to the goal too: https://www.gofundme.com/gb3mvqm4

$4500 for a yoga course...guess they charge by the pound.

I'd rather through that money into a shredder. I cannot think of a less worthy cause then to teach people it's ok to not only be morbidly obese but to be proud of it.

If her website were geared towards showing the world how she took up yoga, started eating right, and inspired other women to do the same, I might consider throwing her $5. However all her followers are just participating in a giant circle jerk to justify their corpulence.

Would this do? I believe it is a rendition of your girl just after she couldn't hold the pose anymore:

I see this young 'woman' has made some fans here. Here are some more gravity defying pics:

We should consider making her the official mascot for RVF entire internet fat shaming.

Some eye bleach:

[StanGM]

She's very Rubenesque. Some of the poses she is doing seem to defy gravity. Or the laws of nature.

 

[kbell]

Reubenseque gets a bad wrap. His women weren't that fat.

No, she has made no "fans" in flesh. But she should have fans in STONE.

Some eye bleach:

If this ugly hard bitch is "eye bleach", I'd rather have mine washed in straight ammonia.

Here's an old time strong man lifting a firetruck with the same lift.

I do yoga 5 days a week. I end it in a puddle of sweat and I've been losing weight consistently. There's no way she's doing stuff right. Her belly is getting in the way, as another poster pointed out. She's not so much holding poses as she is leaning her fat in any picture except the one where she's holding herself up on her hands, which is a test of strength, not flexibility. I will give her credit for holding up all her body weight just on her hands if she's actually holding that pose for more than a second.

If she wanted to prove flexibility, she would simply need a picture of herself bending at the waist to touch her toes.

 

[Pyrrhic victory]

These pics remind me of plaza botero in medellin. Sculptures of very fat people.

I find myself again disgustingly mesmerized by how large those stomach folds are in her stretched to the limit yoga outfits.

These fathletes are all attention whores.

Just like the ones who enter into decathalons/marathons and take selfies in atrocious looking spandex for their facebook or some womyn's blog. There's no way in hell a single one of these heiffers ever completes any of these events in any realistic way. If it's a marathon they are probably "power walking" the whole way at best with plenty of stops for lattes and cronuts.
