When can I buy a size -3?

Kate Dillon (Plus Sized Model)

Model Facts:

In the 1990's a sample size was 6 or 8.
Now it is a 0 or 2.
Today, a plus size model must be at least 5'9" and a size 12, but can go up to a size 16 if taller.

I think I can, I think I can...

The hardest thing about not dieting is when a friend loses a ton of weight on a diet and looks great! Seeing my friend's weight loss has increased the temptation to start dieting again. I won't do it because I really want to follow through with my experiment and follow through with all of you. I truly believe that diets make people who are already in a normal weight range more fat.

Here's why...Every time I go on a diet the first few days/weeks are great! I see a loss and immediately feel like my life is running much more smoothly than it ever has before. Then the deprivation starts to set in and all I can think about is whatever I am restricting myself from eating. Sometimes fruit, sometimes bread, sometimes ice cream, and any other number of forbidden items. I end up super stressed and if something negative happens, I run to the prohibited food for comfort.

I have to admit, today was the first day (since I started a week ago) that I felt a noticeable difference. My thoughts were not consumed by food and I was noticeably happier. It is incredibly relaxing and freeing to not be consumed with calories, POINTS, or fat grams. Even though I was tempted to count calories and lose weight like my friend, I'm glad I didn't. I posted this pic of Sara Ramirez, of Grey's Anatomy, because I think she's beautiful and bountiful.

Plus Sized Beauty Made to Cover Up!

I am totally addicted to America's Next Top Model, with host Tyra Banks. There is something about a makeover that I can't resist. The best episode in each cycle is always the third. Why? Makeover time! It's so funny to watch the models freak out about their appearance. Don't they realize they are choosing a career that will constantly force them to change the way they look? I guess they missed that memo.

Anyway, there's a hot model on the show named Whitney. She is a plus sized model, but that's not the only reason I like her. She's really hot, too. In past cycles, the token plus sized models weren't much to look at. However, this is not the case with Whitney. I'm bummed they dyed her hair blonde, but love her extensions.

There was major dramz on the show last night. The photo shoot the models participated in featured Elle McPherson and her sexxxy line of lingerie. All the models looked great and practically naked. However, there was one girl who was noticeably covered up...Whitney!! After the photo shoot, Tyra was pissed that the stylist covered up the curvaceous cutie and apologized to her. The photo above was taken during the photo shoot. She's wearing a full skirt and blouse while everyone else wore thongs!!! I hope Tyra fires the stylist responsible for this...
