On the misconceptions people have about plus-size modeling:
People think we’re unhealthy, plain and simple. And that’s not the case. So whereas on one hand, there’s so much praise and excitement for women like myself or other plus models for showcasing their bodies very proudly, you can’t please everyone. There’s always going to be a small group of people that thinks you’ve just, you know, eaten an entire pizza. It’s not that way.We are super-healthy. Plus models that I know are some of the healthiest girls I’ve ever seen. They’re yoga teachers, they eat strictly organic foods, or they’re vegans or whatever. I can’t reiterate enough that this is just the way our bodies are supposed to be. I’m extremely active. You don’t see me dwindling down to a size 6 because my body’s not meant to be a size 6.
