Sorry...I'm not very fashion conscious...what is a plus size? And whats wrong with the woman in the picture? She looks fairly healthy to me. Unfortunately what I see down there in the states is

of huge people...I breathe a sigh of relief whenever we cross back into Canada because the size of people drops sharply. I'm not making fun of larger people but people who are massively overweight should try and do something about it. Being at the other end of the scale like I am is no gift either...so from both sides you need to try and work on your body to remain healthy...asthetics be damned but make sure that your lungs, your heart, and the rest of your body are working alright. To do that myself I'm running and lifting weights. I realize for some people they put on the pounds quickly, they have thicker bones and bigger body structure...they aren't going to look like me and I'm not going to look like them.
The folks with the six pack worry me as well. They are either super atheletic and it just goes with the territory or they are doing something dangerous to their body. You have to be under 10% body fat to completely get rid of the middle area and lets face it, thats not a realistic (nor healthy in most case) goal. Different body types require a different approach...
Just ranting myself there I guess.
