Sorry but, being overweight isn't healthy. It's a scientific fact. It honestly doesn't have to be, at least to anything resembling a serious degree. One can be overweight and still work out, not have God awful eating habits, be active in general, etc. Unhealthy lifestyles can exist at any weight (though obviously, people who gain weight due to sedentary lifestyles and awful eating choices are in for bigger health risks, I'm not arguing that), and everybody's got some issue that likely adversely affects their health. Some people may drink too much coffee, some people have a few extra pounds, blah blah blah. But, God, I've seen some of those 4chan forums, if you want "PLUS" size, it exists, and it makes these women look like anorexics. It's, um...a sight, to say the least.

THIS is a plus sized model. Mia Tyler aka Aerosmith front man Steve Tyler's daughter HAWT! totally agree, and she has a "don't mess with me" attitude that I love. but the people who are into stick figures may go for her little sister

I found them to be attractive. it's not like they're morbidly obese or something ... Hell, they're not even obese. But in today's society it seems to be expected for women to be 10 to 20 pounds below their ideal body weight, which is unhealthy in itself. I've never seen most of these women before, but damn they look nice. But then, I have a variety of tastes. Obesity is actually a hard thing to measure in many cases, since its often measured using BMI, which is one of the most inherently flawed ways of measuring health it borders on absurd. Really, I have a friend who's 6'4'' and skinny as a flagpole, and another who's 6'1'' or so and who's naturally as broad as a wall...and they're going to have their weights be what determines their all around health? Insanity.

These women are mostly average, though a few of them could maybe be called a little chubby. "Plus Size" would definitely be the wrong term to use in the real world, but going by the already ridiculous standards of the modeling industry, it makes sense.

Plus size model
For MODELS they are plus sized
They aren't called PLUS SIZED NORMAL GIRLS (Don't mean to "shout" but I gotta emphasize those parts
Goodness, it's not the "wrong term" Let's say I'm an olympic swimmer. If I'm a "normal guy" I'd be a plus sized swimmer (Bad example but I think you get my drift)

Speaking of models. did Tyra Banks lose a ton of weight? Saw her on Larry king and she looks ridiculously skinny

And speaking of weight did Oprah gain a ton back? Her weight seems to fluctuate like crazy

Sorry but, being overweight isn't healthy. It's a scientific fact. So, why did you post in here then? I see nothing wrong with plus-sized women and I'm sick and tired and fed up with people who think they're so self-righteous as to decide what is acceptable and what is not. Society itself is already screwed up enough.

And speaking of weight did Oprah gain a ton back? Her weight seems to fluctuate like crazy Tyra was the one who made a big hissy fit over being called "fat", and even stood there on her show in the bathing suit she was called "fat" while wearing in a tabloid photo. She ended it by telling the tabloid media to "kiss her fat ass", basically ripping into them for heaving these insane standards on women to achieve physical beauty. She got a huge round of applause. A couple of months later, I think, she dropped a whole bunch of weight, not that she was fat at any point to begin with. Tyra can be quite obnoxious, huh?

I think we can all logically conclude that eating till we can't fit into an airplane seat is not acceptable. (I'm talking no exercise and overeating of course... Not like a heavyweight fighter)

Being a toothpick isn't healthy either. Agreed. People can be naturally slim, but if you aren't one of those people, having some shape to you isn't a death sentence. I mean, far be it for me to assume, but if someone was Samoan, I don't think they could naturally have a pixie build, they would not be predisposed for it.

If these are plus sized models, what does that make Anna Nicole Smith?
