i believe there is a market for everything. Id personally prefer to see a plus size girl model a plus sized item of clothing.

hate looking for clothes online in bigger sizes and a size 10-12 is wearing it.

im divided in my thoughts over if plus size models should be used more..

being a large lass myself it would be handy to see clothes made for bigger women being modeled by plus size ladies,, however its not healthy to be a large size and if it were widely and more openly promoted would it be sending out the message to people that its 'ok' when we all know the health benefits are not?

Not healthy to be rake thin either but the media have no qualms using models that look like it. I wish they would use real sized people in an assortment of sizes.

It seems the fashion houses like to see their clothes on coat hangers, and that's why they use models that look like coat hangers.

I agree with this. This whole Gok Wan-proud-of-your-curves thing promotes the idea to women of all ages that it is ok to be overweight - it will lead to a variety of health problems which is not only a problem for themselves but a huge drain on the NHS too. Of course we should not promote extreme skinniness either.

Healthy models makes sense.

I think the whole Gok thing is actually saying that we come in all shapes and sizes, and not all are stick thin. Some people can be fit as a fiddle but naturally carry curves and never be thin.

There is obviously a difference between those who are overweight and do anything about it, and those who try. But whilst trying you should still be able to dress nicely.

I agree with you. It is great that we do come in all shapes and sizes. And I know some people can be curvy AND healthy...I'm never going to be skinny or a 32" or 30" waist.

But the idea that women should be proud to be big girls (i.e. that dreadful Mika song) is a strange one. It is equally as ridiculous for fully grown men to be proud of beer bellies.

Personally i'm not proud of who i've become or what i look like, but until i shrink down i have to embrace my excessive curves in the meantime. There are admirers of every size. If we were all the same how tragically boring would this world be x

Curvy doesn't only mean larger. Lady is size 6 but still very curvy.

There is so much contradiction about size/shape/health.

Pick any one of the weekly celebrity magazines and on the cover there will be articles about a given celebrity's diet tips or 'bikini body'. And then criticism of another for buckling to pressure and losing weight or being too skinny in the first place.

I find this rather naïve. Do you really believe that the catwalk size 0 models are healthy? Do you think that collar bones and ribs sticking out promotes a good healthy image. There have been many reports of catwalk models existing on a diet of cocaine in order to not put weight on and retain the size 0 that the fashion houses demand. Is that healthy.

I also get sick of all this bigger people being a drain on NHS resources. I take it you've never been inside an eating disorder unit and the cost of inpatient care. Are anorexics a drain on resources?

"Not for us we like healthy birds "

By that comment are you suggesting that slim is always healthy? If so I think that's very offensive, I consider myself (save for a chronic condition) to be healthy. I walk 3 miles a day and eat healthily.

I have been overweight most of my adult life and have always been deemed healthy, same as yourself all routine tests showed I was healthy, then I developed two illnesses which are directly affected by my weight and are improving as I lose weight

It takes many years for the true effects of an unhealthy lifestyle (overeating is an unhealthy lifestyle) to show itself.

Now wheres the scones, cream and jam?

I'm not saying its acceptable, what I'm saying is that so much is put on weight and size, but not always looking at other factors.

If someone eats junk food everyday and is overweight and ill, then I have no sympathy. If. On the otherhand somepne leads a healthy lifestyle, but is deemed overweight just because that's how their body is, is another issue.

I'm overweight, I don't always eat well, but I partake in sport and physical activities every week. My blood pressure is better than most on my team. I am able to run long distances. To society who don't know me I'm labelled very unhealthy, to those who know me, I'm not. Based on bmi is should be 12 stone tops. My doctor has said it would pretty much kill me to get there, so who do I listen to? That is my argument.

This Morning is a case in point.. they have either stick thin models or when potraying larger sizes the model is a 16 size 6' model which totally defeats the message. I want to see normal average people model clothing.

Plus size models are hardly promoting healthy living and neither are stick thin models.

ridiculous. While I'd love designers to provide more clothes for bigger sizes, the fact that they're gay has nothing to do with this. Especially when you look at most of the dresses, which are very womanly.

I'm classed as obese. My doctor says I should weigh in at 9st. I think I look ill at that weight.

I currently am 12 stone, after losing a stone by exercising. That isn't good enough for my doctor. I am still unhealthy. Until I told him I am currently running 6k in 30 minutes, that shut him up!!!

I quite agree - absolutely. I think I should take back the word drain. It does seem overly judgemental. I entirely understand people cannot always help these problems and the NHS should be there to help them. But surely if, as a society, we can be healthier it can be no bad thing?

People starving is not down to people being obese. That is an outrageous thing to say! They are starving due to politics, corruption and weather conditions. If I eat less that food wont go to a starving person in Africa. If I pay plan international montly then I help someone in Africa.

Your _iews are warped.

Angus & Findhorn

my brother in law is a Orthopedic surgeon and he laughs at the drain on the NHS.... he is adamant it is the casual drinkers

they get pissed, fall break their legs, arms

they are so pissed they cant operate till the next day, they come round from the surgery and the first words out of their mouth are: 'do I get to claim as I think the pavement was faulty'

why has a thread about a gorgeous curvy size 16 model turned into a bash the overweight for being a drain on the nhs thread?

I used to weigh over 30 stone, my bmi was 72 and was a size 32, I never had any weight related illness. I've lost over 18 stone and now size 14/16 with a bmi of 29. I agree that we should see clothes on all sizes.

" its not healthy to be a large size and if it were widely and more openly promoted would it be sending out the message to people that its 'ok' when we all know the health benefits are not?

I agree with this. This whole Gok Wan-proud-of-your-curves thing promotes the idea to women of all ages that it is ok to be overweight - it will lead to a variety of health problems which is not only a problem for themselves but a huge drain on the NHS too. Of course we should not promote extreme skinniness either.

Healthy models makes sense.

I find this rather naïve. Do you really believe that the catwalk size 0 models are healthy? Do you think that collar bones and ribs sticking out promotes a good healthy image. There have been many reports of catwalk models existing on a diet of cocaine in order to not put weight on and retain the size 0 that the fashion houses demand. Is that healthy.

I also get sick of all this bigger people being a drain on NHS resources. I take it you've never been inside an eating disorder unit and the cost of inpatient care. Are anorexics a drain on resources?

You don't seem to have read that post thoroughly. Their last sentence was "of course we should not promote extreme skinniness either".

My comment on naivety was in relation to the drain on NHS resorces comment. It is not true that the reason the NHS suffers financially is down to fat people becoming ill.

When you call fat people glutinous and lazy and not something to be proud of, then I ask you if you are aware of the billions it costs to treat smoking related illnesses. Self induced habit forming smoking of nicotine is nothing to be proud of wither is it?

The land of grey peas and bacon

I love being curvy.. granted I could loose some weight as diabetis is common in my family so hence why I am doing weight watchers but I only want to get down to a size 16... I quite like my boobs and when I loose weight they are the first things to go

But if there were less overweight people then there would be more funds available surely?

And I agree with your point on smoking too. And drinking. But I don't do either.

And I wouldn't call fat people gluttonous or lazy. That was uncalled for and shows a lack of understanding surrounding weight-based health issues

To be honest it doesnt matter if a model is a plus size, my favourite was sophie dahl when she was a plus size model.

"plus size models are usually about a size 14 and six foot tall.

No model whether large or small is a true representation of mrs average

But she did say 98% were gluttonous or lazy therefore not all are
