What is plus size?


I am infuriated by the Loose Women discussion the other week about plus size women.
Jamelia's opinion more than the other ladies! I understand that ideally we want women to lead a healthy lifestyle and be a healthy weight/size. What is that to say someone who wears a size 20 doesn't lead a healthy life style?
Why should it matter if someone is a size 22 or a size 6? I think we are all beautiful in our own way and is long as we are happy with the way we look and feel it shouldn't matter what people think. I suppose that's what it all comes down to what other people think! Nobody is perfect. I bet Jamilia has flaws that she isn't happy about her appearance but will judge other people. The same as I may look at somebody famous and think wow they look amazing, I wish I had their figure...that person might be thinking I hate how big my hips are or something. So I guess what I'm trying to say is we will always hate something about our own appearance and envy those who have the figure/appearance that we want.

The thing that is bugging me is this "healthy lifestyle" how do we define healthy lifestyle?

I'm 23 years old almost 24. I'm between sizes depending on the store I buy from generally a 20 or 22. I have a condition which leaves me wheelchair-bound with very little exercise actually... no exercise. I eat a relatively balanced diet...we all like a treat now and then! I have lost 2 1/2 stone in almost three years. That might not seem like a lot to the average Joe but it's pretty good for those who can't exercise to burn off fat. I recently had blood tests to test my cholesterol etc and they all came back good...HEALTHY! So do I lead a healthy lifestyle? Who knows!
I don't think I do, I don't think anyone does! I don't think it's healthy to drink protein shake's all day..,I also don't think it's healthy to eat takeaway every night. Those people who are obsessed with fitness probably don't lead a "healthy lifestyle" but those who don't do anything probably don't lead a "healthy lifestyle" either! Because there is no right or wrong lifestyle...it's how you perceive a healthy lifestyle.

What are your thoughts on this subject of healthy/plus size?

Beginnings of a Bucket List

Recently i've been wanting to travel and do more with my life. To put it simply - I'M BORED! There are things i'd love to do but realistically there not going to happen unless anyone has a fairy godmother i can borrow? Yes being in a wheelchair makes traveling a struggle and an expense! You know dragging a carer around the world and paying for equipment hire at each destination increases the price of that back packing, hostel staying experience. I figured if i make a list ( gotta love a list ) I might start planning to do more. Some things may just be dreams but dream big thats what i say! On a side note i will add some bucket list achievements that i have done. It's a good feeling to accomplish a dream.

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

   I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel...
