Plus Sized
Models - Advice
Even though I am happy to see that there are many more plus
sized models today, I am a little troubled at what the fashion
industry considers to be plus size. I remember when I was a little
girl my mother was often on a diet, and this was because she had
the same condition that I do. We both have insulin resistance, and
this makes it harder for us to lose weight. Because she was always
on a diet, I always knew what her goal size was. Back then, a size
8 was considered to be pretty average.
Today, however, it would almost seem as if plus size starts at
size 8. I spent a lifetime as a size 12, and even though I knew
this was not an ideal size, it wasn’t the end of the world. Many
plus sized models are indeed size 12, and I think that they look
great. The problem is that some of them who appear to be a size six
or eight are now considered to be plussizedmodels. This is baffling
to me, as I can’t imagine that there are many people who are
naturally a size two or four. Quite frankly, those sizes don’t look
good on everyone.

Models - Tips
I wish that the fashion industry would
reconsider what they consider to be plussizedmodels. Little girls
growing up right now have absolutely no hope of ever feeling good
about the body they were given. When they see plus sized models
wearing the same size as they do, they will begin to feel but they
are overweight, when in fact they may be perfectly proportioned for
their frame, and they are probably perfectly healthy. To me, this
is one of the worst things that can happen.
I watched my mother diet for much of my childhood. She was never
as big as any of the plus sized models you see today, but she
always felt like she was. I never want my daughter to have to live
with this feeling, and I am trying to do everything I can to make
her comfortable with who she is. She is in fact very healthy, and a
perfect weigh for her size. Perhaps I should just try to steer her
away from subjects like plus sized models, and perhaps things like
size and weight won’t matter to her until she is old enough to care
about it on her own.
