Size 12 is A Plus Size? Whateverrr..


Recently I saw a segment on TV that said Size 12 is now considered a plus size.  And judging by the absence of that size on store racks, it's also the most purchased size of women's apparel.  I'm a size 12 so I can attest to that.  Obesity is a huge problem in this country and nothing to be taken lightly. But Size 12 -a Plus size?  Come on!

I can go up and down...my son's recent wedding motivated me to lose weight and I'm glad I did it.  I felt wonderful!   But I'm not a kale, water, yogurt kind of gal.  It's all about smart portions of wise food choices and I try to keep that in mind.  But I like to cook and I love to eat, especially this time of year.   I make no apologies.  And I still feel wonderful.

I've continued to work out because I want to be fit.  But if my weight fluctuates, I'm not going to beat myself up over it.  I have a closet full  of 10's, 12's and some 14's so I've got it covered.  I've come to the realization that I'm never gonna be a cute little old lady.  I'll be more of a handsome old woman and I'm okay with that.  As long as I'm fit, and it all works, I'm good.  Happy Thanksgiving!

  1. I'm a 12 and have been most of my teen and adult life -- every once in a while for about ten minutes, I can wear a size 10. I have had my size 14 moments as well. What matters is whether you feel good and comfortable in your clothes. I feel just fine!
