The Plus Womens Challenge of Overcoming Negative Body Images

by Diane on August 16, 2010



Watch the video above and I’d like to read your views on this clip, especially the plus womens opinion. I cannot reject this young woman. I’m sure she is very excited and I applaud her drive and ambition. Not as a plus-size woman but just as a woman I still don’t understand the positive reinforcement given to Ann’s teeny tiny small-waisted frame.

The Body Image Revolution

The fashion industry and the media have collaborated in creating an unrealistic and dangerous standard of what beauty should be and in affect has created an invisible population, the plus-size community.

This is a great example of the reason why there is self-loathing and self-rejection not only in plus-size women but in women whose dress sizes are in the single digits.

At this moment, we as a community are more aware of our beauty and power individually and collectively and so the plus womens movement is a revolution, ever evolving.

The message sent to plus womens minds and spirits – we are not thin enough and therefore we are never ever good enough.

Until next time Curvy Goddess…Stay Strong and Stunning!

Those three are pretty hot. The model everyone is talking about is very thin. She did a billboard against anorexia and she looked the part.
Designers are short-sighted if they think models should be thin, so they don’t distract from the outfit. If they used plus size models, women could visualize how they would look – that should increase sales.

Well supposedly we're told that we don't like how we look in our clothes so they will get a straight size model sometimes to wear the clothes. I'm not sure if I believe that anymore.

Straight size model actually look thinner to me than in the 80's the era of the legendary supermodels. Oh how I miss the 80's!
