Hello! I’m Freya. :) I pretty much blog about veganism, nutrition and leading an all round healthy lifestyle. You’ll normally find me in the kitchen with vegan cupcake mix around my mouth... I won’t tell if you won’t? I say “awesome!” a lot, and I’m trying to be as happy and self confident as I can be, taking each day as it comes. Oh – and have you met my boyfriends? They’re called hummus and peanut butter. I’m not joking. I’m not (that) scary, I promise! Just say hello if you don’t believe me. :D I love being nice. I love Hamish&Andy. And I especially love you, you beautiful thing. ;) ♥
Plus Sized.
The fashion industry has recently decided that an American size 6 (UK size 10) is plus-sized. Some very fit and healthy people at a cross fit competition were asked about their thoughts on this and about the message the media is sending.
I’m a UK size 10 - and I’m underweight. How is this now categorized as plus sized? Why does it even need a category? I’m perfectly healthy and if I asked people to describe my body type, I’m positive no one would say I was “plus-sized”. This sends a terrible message, because for many people plus-sized is synonymous with fat and obese, which evidently is not the case.
Healthy and happy should be the ideal, which is what the people interviewed are.
It just makes me sad that there’s now even more pressure from the media in a world where body confidence is so rare.
(Everyone interviewed stressed the importance of “Health and Fitness” and NOT just body size. This is not a Big vs. Small battle.)

Oh my god! 6?!? I will never be a 6! I consider anything in the double digits to be plus size but my goal size is like a 9.
