You Call This Fat????

I know this is a little dated but I saw this online and thought it might provide some thought provoking discussion! I can not believe that anyone would consider this fat! When I look at this picture I think wow that is a gorgeous woman at the beach for the day- It is so sad that we as a nation are so obsessed with the "weight" That we Throw pictures around and call people "fat"! I mean come on!


Tyra speaking out is so important she is a wonderful role model for young women everywhere- after her bathing suit pictures she made a point to do shows and to speak out that Size acceptance is important- My biggest passion is Promoting Positive Self Esteem in our Youth. So Many Children have poor self image and poor self worth, and most of this comes directly from the media. I think it is so important for more celebrities to speakout about Self Esteem/Self Image and Size Issues.
So while I applaude Tyra for speaking out about her own experiences I do feel in someways it is a little odd. I mean after she is the creator and producer of Modern America's Next Top Model a show that idolizes the "thin" High Fashion Chic look. After all out of all cycles only one Winner was a plus model Whitney Thompson and she was a whopping size 10!! Many girls in America (my self included) would kill to be a size 18/20 much less a size 10! Many debate if a size 10 is really plus size? Feel free to weigh in (no pun intended) on this subject?? I want to hear what defines Plus Size?? Do you think Whitney is Plus Size?? Below is her picture-
