The word `Plus' has merely replaced the word `Fat' in my opinion. It is the new politically correct way of addressing someone who is represented by their size. Bulimia and anorexia are classed as self imposed conditions, these conditions directly result from the expected norms of apperance that are dictaited to our society by, the media and peer pressure to conform to society's norms and values. So what if someone wears a size 6 or even a size 28. Are we as a society really that shallow that we make judgements on size alone. Is that not considered a prejudice? It is just as unjustified as as judging someone by skin colour, hair colour, wealth, financial status or simply the size of their nose? I have suffered from bulimia in the past and believe you me it has left me with physical problems, and even now many yeas down the line I still wish I was thin. I do not want to be the plus size one. It is as difficult to loose weight as it is to kick any other sort of adiction. It is just a shame that society does not realise that.
