The Minus size
HEY. I’ve got an idea.
With numbers, the lowest we can go is “zero.” Zero is good. Digits are bad. And double digits…Double digits are like spending a weekend alone in a funhouse with The Situation, then having to go home and tell your grandmother about it.
And we give them crazy stupid labels. Mostly: Regular, sometimes Petite, and Plus.
Where’s the minus?
I want a minus size!
Let’s add a Minus to the spectrum. Maybe getting a bit of negative connotation down there to balance all the hating we do on “plus” will help us re-discover our appreciation of the middle sizes.
Here are some ‘plus’ size photos:
Hey, I’m a relatively new reader of your blog and I just wanted to say that I greatly appreciate what you’re doing. The obsession with skinny women has to stop, it’s completely absurd when even most men don’t prefer a woman with no butt or boobs. Through your writings, other blogs/forums/whatever and a lot of thinking I’ve finally (at 26) been able to change my own perception of my body and what’s a ‘normal’ amount of body fat for me. It feels good and I only hope that every single woman and especially young girls would be able to experience this feeling too. Thank you!
Hooray! Thank YOU. Even more important than my talking is people going out there and doing the walking. I’m so proud of you, and you’re an inspiration to me. Really. It’s a struggle all of the time– making sure that I eat when I’m hungry rather than pinching my hips to make the decision. That’s stupid. It’s unfortunately, but we need to be reminded sometimes of how stupid that is. I need you, and the world needs you. Thanks again in the most sincere way.
