plus size really??

[tzs]

Yea, It's not like all of us can afford to live like "The Housewives of Orange County" or something! Those ho's have a kid and shrink back to nothing in about a week!! I only wish I had the kind of money they did to get rid of extra fat! Its almost like they didn't have children to begin with!! By the way, those models are beautiful!!!!

this is such an important topic.
Not only are our young women having eating disorders, but so are many boys these days due to the advertising industry.

PLEASE praise your children or those in your lives at ANY size.  It's certainly OK to be "plus size" (in quotes because of the distortion in society) -- it's important to be HEALTHY at any size.

that is really messed up.. when i was a 14 before 3 kids and 3 c sections i was very happy being a size 12... and i looked good and felt good about my self..

I agree this is an important topic!  It's disgusting how people are so skewed in what they think is normal now.  The normal models are NOT normal.  They are undernourished and sickly looking if you ask me!  I think these "plus size" models look a heck of a lot better than Kate Moss

This is what is considered plus size


These models in my opinion are curvy but are not fat or plus size. They are average women in my opinion.

THEY are gorgeous. i dont consider them plus sized.

I do not consider 9 or 11 to be plus size.  I can not believe that he said that.  It is riduiculous what the world is coming to that size 9 is considered big.  I think that size 0 is just gross if you ask me.

i didnt let it affect me but it made me think.. man my daughter will grow up in a world where to be "perfect" you have to be a size zero?? ugh idk i WILL teach her to love herself SKINNY or FAT! as long as she is healthy she should thank god everyday that she is on this earth!!

For myself i mean i use to be a size 7 but after the baby i cant get back to that (that n i haven't really tried) this is the ONE time and this WEIGHT that i have felt SOOO comfortable with myself! my mom ALWAYS told me "ur getting to fat" i was a size SEVEN!! i looked GOOD and now at a size 9/11 she still tells me i look fat and my responce to her is ALWAYS "but i LOVE it"

so yea ladies and men DONT let the tv tell you what u SHOULD be! if you feel comfortable FLAUNT it!! LOVE IT! be yourself! LOVE yourself!!! the world truly changes when you LOVE yourself

[BK_Adores_Chase]

Wow - those pictures are of plus size models?  They have like perfect bodies - not too big, not too small.  My advice is to get rid of your cable, then your daughter won't have to learn anything from the TV 

[arnaud1]

if you dont like it do something about it
but power to you ladies

[pat2010]

Not bad!!! They all look hot!! 

[mrstina08]

Things really have changed. I think the tv and the fashion industry has put so much on what they think what is normal or what a person should look like. Forgetting  about who that person really is from the inside out. Ive always been a confident person with class, character and style. I love myself. I know who I am. If someone have a problem with me, so be it. I dont take it personal at all. Everybody got something to offer if they look within instead of trying to be accepted. Gotta stay positive.

AWWW MAN YOU SHOULD SEE THE GIRLS I SEE WALKING AROUND THE MALLS , OR IN THE CLUB ..SKIN AND BONES AND THEY SWEAR THEY ARE THE MOST SEXIEST THING IN THE WORLD ..SORRY I NEVER REALLY LIKED LITTLE BOYS DRESSED LIKE GIRLS. THANKS TO HOLLYWOOD AND ALL THOSE MISCONCEPTIONS THATY YOU HAVE TO BE 80 POUNDS TO WORK IN A MOVIE. GROSS..

[Angelbot]

i hate to say it but if those are plus sizes than im QUEEN size or KING size! i dont mind admitting im size 22 ...but thats due to medical problems (for my weight).... todays idea of "perfect size" or "healthy weight" isnt always true!

[kapeh12]

The fashion industry is way out of control.  They seemed to have picked the straight body type and forgot about all the curvy body types out there.  Used to be the more curves the better.

According to that guy you talked to, Marilyn Monroe, probably considered the most "sexy" woman ever, would have been considered a "plus sized" model in today's world.  How whacked is that?

I'm a solid athletic type - let's just say from my training and weight lifting (for my sport), I'll never ever fit into any kind of "skinny" fashion, and that also means my pants will always have about a 6-8 inch gap at the waist (just to find one that will fit around my legs/hips).

I'm thankful my nieces look up to me as their "cool aunt" and think all my activities are great, so they have me as a healthy role model rather than getting into all the media hype.  Plus my sister really down plays the hype where they (my nieces) are now feeling sorry for the models and actresses as they think they look unhealthy.

As long as you have energy and stamina to do what you want/need to do - you are on the right track - regardless of what the bathroom scale says, or "fashion trends".

I'm a 9 too and darn proud of it. I love that i have hips and an a$$. If they want to call me plus size so what! Rock those curves ladies!
