The beautiful Debs has come up with a new plan for #WeAreTheThey, today a group of bloggers will be breaking some so-called rules for plus size women. We are wearing the kinds of things that normally the fashion industry considers forbidden territory for us larger women.
Because why should slimmer women have all the fun?

Since Plus Size Wars has been on I’ve seen a few idiots people comparing plus size girls and women to pets. The two instances that come immediately to mind are, “our pets would be taken off us if we let them get that fat”, and “it’s like with pets, we’ve forgotten what normal looks like”.
What the hell is with those comparisons?

The last few days have been incredible, and quite emotional. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, and will always treasure having been there for it.
It all started with Plus Sized Wars, a programme on Channel 4 about plus size bloggers and plus size fashion. As the time approached for it to air almost my whole Twitter timeline seemed to be holding it’s breath. Was this going to be a horrific car crash of a TV show? Were we going to see beloved bloggers used as cannon fodder in the name of controversial television?

Now there’s a combination!
So today is my birthday, I turn 31, which I have to say feels whole lot less stressful than turning 30. I have come to terms with my 20’s being over finally.
Today has been an interesting day,daughter ill, plans cancelled, and then to top the morning off I got abuse when I went to drop my son off at nursery.

I am ecstatic with today’s outfit. It’s my birthday in a week and as a birthday treat my husband sent me out on a shopping trip. So I went and splashed out!
I am quite impressed with my little haul, so thought I’d start with my absolute favourite purchases.

I was intrigued by a linkback I got to one of my #DropThePlus blog posts. It was written by someone in favour of #DropThePlus and on first reading I couldn’t see why I was getting a linkback, so I read it again, and then a third time. Until I spotted that the link to my blog was in this paragraph..
While some argue that the reason it’s good to use the term “plus size” because, in the modeling and fashion industries, a size 4 or above is larger compared to the majority of models

I have to admit, this is a post about a specific conversation. But it got me thinking, and it got me thinking about something that I find tough to think about. So I figured getting it out of my system might stop it circling around in my mind.
You may have read before that I have struggled with disordered eating. I still struggle with the thoughts and still have the same triggers.
I want to talk about some of those. Shouldn’t need saying, but trigger warnings galore here.

Sorry to be repetitive, but I’ve been reading more on the #DropThePlus campaign and it got me thinking. Lovely as Ajay is, I’m sorry to say the more I think about it the less keen I am on it. Though I agree totally with their desire to make a better world for girls, and applaud them for their attempts, if not their methods.
I suspect this will be a long post.
