The media and the fashion industry has played a big part in making girls feel more conscious about their own body, i too feel that. In high school most of the girls would always feel unsatisfied about themselves, it was always complaint after complaint about their own body, stating they had large thighs or arms or legs or whatever in college right now it is not any different either. Girls and women are consumed with what the fashion industry feeds them thinking that size 0 models are somewhat sexy, starving yourself until you reach your weight is good for you. The truth is at what point do we have to continue doing this to ourselves? At what point are we always going to rant and rant about our body despite it imperfections i'm blessed with a healthy body despite it being bigger than other girls, i'm okay with that. Sometimes i hate going to some malls and the size they only have is all size (what the hell is allsize? you can't categorize shapes of different girls in to one size? that is just ridiculous) or the scrutiny girls receive if they are too fat. I just wish people would be more accepting, just because they are different it doesn't mean you can't accept them.
Meanwhile i have fell in love with this plus size model for ages i recently read her article in teen vogue(the one with Taylor Lautner on the cover). Her name is Crystal Renn she recently wrote a book called hunger, the book is about her past ordeals with her weight. At 14 she aspired to become a model and was told to lose a third of her body weight, this triggered a health crisis causing her to reevaluate her diet and health. After gaining back 32 kgs she reemerged as a plus size model and has appeared in countless magazines and fashion spreads such as vogue US, Italy, Germany, I-D magazine, Glamour USA,etc.
I hope she can be an inspiration to other girls, to accept the way they are and not complain about everything. I just wish there was more plus size stores in Jakarta.
