The Sum of Our Parts: Re/Dress Owner Deb Malkin Shares Her Thoughts on Body Image
I grew up as a "fat" kid, although when I look back at pictures of myself as a child I see an average sized body. I can't imagine what it would have been like to grow up without constant scrutiny about my body. I wonder if I would have ever yo-yo dieted in the extreme ways that I did. I wonder if I could have learned to dance without feeling self conscious all the time.

The Sum of Our Parts: Plus Model Wilmary Shares Her Thoughts on Body Image
I remember being about 7 years old when a friend of my mom asked me "how old are you? 10?" I said "no, I'm 8." She replied "you're a big girl to be only 8 years old." At the time I felt confused. Even as a child I wanted to let her know that I was just perfect for an 8 year old.
My name is Wilmary Rodriguez. I'm a 25 year old plus size woman, mom, daughter and friend. I was born in New York. I come from a Spanish "Caribbean" family.

The Sum of Our Parts: Plus Model Mayra Shares Her Thoughts on Body Image
I used to weigh about 310lbs. To be honest with you I didn't feel that big. It wasn't a problem; I have way more of a problem with my weight now than I did when I was 300 pounds. Back then I wasn't into guys, I was more about my family, more about my girlfriends and stuff until one day I looked at photos and I did a comparison with my body and my friends' bodies and I was just like, oh my God, I am just too big! I decided to do something about it then.

The Sum of Our Parts: Plus Model Tressa Shares Her Thoughts on Body Image
Being a plus size woman has helped me grow and shaped my worldview in many ways. I wouldn't trade it for a size 4 in a million years... maybe a size 12... but never a size 4!
One of my fondest memories is laying in my mom's lap after having eaten a great Thanksgiving dinner and passing out...

The Sum of Our Parts: Plus Model Maggie Shares Her Thoughts on Body Image
As an Asian American, you rarely hear about girls who are "plus sized"... I really think it's almost a matter of denial in our culture. Asian women are supposed to fit in the "cute china doll" stereotype and if you do not meet those standards you are ignored altogether. Growing up I never had an Asian American plus size role model to look to be an example of how to deal with size issues. So I'm here to say that we do exist and there are more of us than you might think.

The Sum of Our Parts: The Svoboda Sisters Share Their Thoughts on Body Image
We stand next to our skinniest friend and feel equal. Like any woman, we expect to be judged on our entire beings, not solely the size or shape of our bodies.
Although we have been plus size our entire life, it was never an issue we really dealt with until we started SVOBODA (www.SVOBODAStyle.com), a line of clothing for all women (including plus size women), and realized how large an issue it is for so many women out there.

The Sum of Our Parts: Beauty Editor Artemis Shares Her Thoughts on Body Image
My name is Artemis. I am a makeup artist and the Beauty Editor for Plus Model Mag. I love what I do, and I love who I am.
Growing up, I did not feel like I was a large girl. Somehow, I managed not to be preoccupied with THESE thoughts. I was fuller than other girls, but between sizes 10-14, I just felt normal.

The Sum of Our Parts by Les Delano
Modeling is one of the only professions based on physical beauty alone. Unless you are totally irresponsible, if you've got those stats and a good face, you can make millions of dollars without anyone knowing a thing about you.
