Being 'Plus Size.'
I've been sat wondering whether to write this or not, but I've decided to do it. Because who knows someone could be going through the exact same thing I am going through. Plus, it helps to get it out of my head. I've been sat typing and deleting, re-typing and re-wording everything that I have in my mind but find difficult to bring to the keyboard. It's a hard subject for me, but something I'm really, really passionate about, and I see myself as to be a body confidence advocate - and the last thing I would want is someone to feel the same way I do about my body. The term 'Plus Size.' Plus Size. Fat. Obese. Overweight. Call it whatever you want, but in some way shape or form if you're over a size 12 (or a size medium) you're considered a 'Plus Size' person. I don't like the term, and I've never wanted to resort to telling myself that I am a 'plus size' woman, because what kind of derogatory term is that to call yourself?
