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?

10 Years on

Just sat minding my own...well actually browsing through ASOS with the telly on in the background and I see my back surgeon from 10 years ago. BBC 2 Hospital series 3  a documentary on Nottingham QMC hospital around the time of a bed crisis. A young boy of 12 was about to undergo a spinal fusion by the best surgeon Micheal Grevitt (my doctor). The documentary was a brilliant insight into how the NHS is suffering. Staff overworked, patients distressed waiting for beds, treatment and then a lack of social care funding. An experience I didn't have 10 years ago. The program brought back some memories, least to say some painful memories - literally painful. August 2007 I went to QMC to have the biggest operation I'd ever had or probably will ever have. I make myself laugh to be honest because now at 26 I'd be shitting myself but not at 16 -  bitch be fearless! Obvz I was nervous but I was optimistic almost unbeatable! My mum looked petrified...the woman is scared of h...

MAXFACTOR CREME PUFF BLUSHES

(30 Gorgeous Berries) When i saw the release of these blushers i was skeptical because of the Creme element - instantly thought STICKY. The MaxFactor Creme Puff Blusher are new to the drugstore in the UK ( Boots & Superdrug ). There are 6 shades in this range. When swatching i thought glitterin'hell - i'll look like a disco ball with these blushes! The lighter shades such as 5 Lovely Pink and 10 Nude Mauve may be more of a highlight for medium skin tones. I have seen that these blushes are a DUPE for Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushers  which are £28! In my eyes that makes these MaxFactor blushes a  bargain  at £8.99!  Im not sure if some shades are online exclusives as i was looking for 20 Lavish Mauve , it was impossible to find!  I bought mine in the shade 30 Gorgeous Berries . Gorgeous Berries is the darkest blusher in the range. It is what it says on the tin, its a berry shade (I ts a purpley/Pinky shade ). The formula is a powde...

July Favourites 2015

Not many make up favourites this month because I haven't been wearing much make up recently.  New to me this month the Bourjois colour boost lip crayon in peach on the beach. A Tescos bargain find at £2!! It's a glossy finish which needs reapplying a few times. It feels like to lip balm but with a decent colour payoff.  My Nars radiant creamy concealer has been my best friend this month! (Running out - cry!). I have been on antibiotics this month which have caused me to break out... Good old concealer! It's an oldie but a goodie. If you haven't heard of this product then it's really worth the money because it covers well, lasts all day and doesn't crease.  Paired with concealer I have been wearing my Mac mineralise skin finish powder in medium plus. Which is also running out! Brilliant for a "no makeup makeup", great coverage without looking "powdery".  The Maxfactor 2000 calorie mascara is...
