While I think it is important for women and men to be healthy, there are a lot of different body sizes in the healthy range. I'm tired of seeing tall, skinny models EVERYWHERE, not just on the catwalks or fashion magazines, but in all types of advertising and movies too. Frankly, I have begun to see the model type as both unattractive and boring, because I've had it shoved in my face for so long. And I'm also sick of so-called "plus-size fashion", which has nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with shapeless sacks - I don't care who designs it. Often I see something in a clothes shop that would flatter me, but of course they don't carry my size, despite the fact that I am only one or two sizes larger than what most stores carry. Sure, I need to get healthier, but, in the meantime, my self-esteem takes a battering everytime I can't find something suitable to wear. And fashionistas, I'm not going to remove every non head-hair from my body and I'm not going to wear make-up everytime I leave the house and I refuse to spend huge amounts of money on designer fashion - so there!
