*snort* "Plus size" in terms of fashion and models is pretty much anything over a size 6. That's where the "decline of the English language" comes in.
Most woman are not a size 6. Think 8 to 16 being normal.
At 200 (yes, I'm a chunky monkey) I'm about a 16, depending on brand. The lightest I've ever been able to get was 186 and I was a 14.
It's called I have an ass, boobs and thighs. Furthermore, I challenge the lot of you to say I was unattractively fat at the time.
The whole term "plus sized" is screwed up because it started off in reference to sizes that were actually *expletive deleted*ing normal and well within healthy range for most woman.
and now aholes, like someone posting in this thread, seem to think that bashing normal sized woman as being fat because they don't actually have any clue how any of this works and seem to be under the delusion that a size 4 should be the norm (and, I can tell you right now, on my frame, if I was a size 4, I would be emaciated with no muscle, much less a healthy amount of fat)
