Plus magazine recently did a controversial spread using a plus-sized model and giving a bunch of shocking facts and stats. Just to make sure the spread got the attention it deserved the model was featured naked and in some shots partnered with a “normal” model. Some of the facts included:
- Most runway models meet the Body Mass Index physical criteria for Anorexia.
- 50% of women wear a size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller.
Read the rest of the story on Plus Model Magazine.
The fact is, these days people are so frightened by “the fat is bad” marketing machine that they have forgotten there is a huge NORMAL range between skinny and obese.
Listen to your body and find YOUR ideal weight. The weight that your body wants to be, and not the weight that you need to starve yourself to reach.
Because humans, and especially women, need a bit of fat. If you start sacrificing your fresh breath, bone density and periods because you want to look good in your skinny jeans then your skinny jeans are a size too small for you!
Wake up. You can be too thin. Don’t fall into the trap.
