Plus size model Tess Holliday stars on the cover of Cosmo UK | IMAGE.ie

Well done to cosmopolitan and to the lass, who’s endured a lot of cruel comments over the years.

Hopefully this will let any lasses with doubts about their size feel a bit better about themselves, looks like the fashion industry is abandoning the ‘skinny’ look that’s lead to so many eating disorders over the years.

No thanks .

That’s not plus size. That obesity.

Plus size would be about 12 -18

She’s probably hitting closer to size 30.

She’ll be dead by the time she hits 50

I think saying 12 is plus size is harsh mind.
That's restricting the range of 'normal' down to probably 10 and 8.

On that, why are there no odd numbers?

 

[Sidewinder2]

Shouldn’t glorify fat lasses the same way they shouldn’t glorify size 0 models. Neither are healthy.

This.

She's morbidly obese ffs, there's hell on when they put lasses who are skinny as a rake on.

Box ticking PC exercise.

PS She's rank

It’s important to establish this early on in a thread like this.

It would help if the thread titles could also hold a Poll of things like Wad/Wad If Drunk/Meybbes/Wadn't/ Wadn't Even When Drunk - just to help us help us keep tabs on these sort of things.

Oh, with those eyebrows it's a Wadn't from me , she's a nice lass n'all but caterpillars on the face are a big no-no

Plus size traditionally is a size 16 or 18 upwards, the likes of Evan start at a size 16 and they're a fat lass shop etc.

Love how because women are getting fatter people are justifying it by saying "well the average is size sixteen" as if that's not fat.

It's the same with blokes. The amount on here who will justify being fat by claiming they'd look ill if they were a healthy BMI is ridiculous.

This - 12 is no way a plus size.

No, that's not Plus Size, that's Super Plus (aka morbid obesity).

12-18 might be Plus Size in the modelling world, but in reality size 18 and above is Plus Size.

You can be morbidly thin as well

Aye "oh its average now" simply because more of the population are fat as fuck

You can be morbidly thin as well

I kna hence why I said there's hell on when they put really skinny lasses on.

Give them gegs a wipe man

They should but we also shouldn’t be normalising morbid obesity.

Smokers are vilified as a drain on the NHS when fat people are worse.

I agree, but smokers get loads of help from the NHS to quit but obese people generally don't. That's more than unfair, it's crazy.

That's horseshit, loads of people get the gastric band, I personally know of about 4

 

[REDM1ST]

Wad not! Even with a stolen cock.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

She has no medical problems, she’s as healthy as the next lass. Probably healthier than half of the skinny catwalk waifs who’ll have bone problems in later life

She will soon enough.

There is plus size model, but that is a disgustingly obese woman.

I'd be delighted to be a size sixteen fella, I'd be fighting em off .

My cousin got a gastric bypass and her health went down hill worse than when she was massive. I mentioned it to my doctor and he shook his head saying that out of 4 he'd referred over, 3 ended up with serious complications afterwards. I therefore will stick with good old fashioned diet and exercise.

shockingly exercise is not as important as portion control

I used to think I could eat what I liked as I did loads of exercise... this is not the case

80% nutrition 20% exercise for me

good luck though xxx

Thanks Cat, and I do like a big portion but I've been trying to cut it down. Tonight I'm going to have a kind prawn omelette with a little cheese and onion in it and a bit lettuce on the side for tea, can't wait xx
