        @BBCNews where did 'plus size' even come from? Are super skinny people 'minus size'?? What constitutes 'size'?

        @neenee2511 @BBCNews I like the idea of minus size, sound like they are missing out on something. Oh. They are: life.

        @volpagirl @neenee2511 @bbcnews It's as unhelpful to generalise about smaller women as larger! We're all just different women :)

        @BBCNews we should be using the word fat... Because they are fat. That's fat because of the large layers of fat. Fat. The word is fat... Fat

        :) @BBCNews but then again I don't think many of us really need to worry about high fashion! *lounges in Lanvin* noooo

        :) @BBCNews High fashion looks amazing on amazing models but every woman has to use her creative side to get near that whatever her size!

        :) @BBCNews perhaps it matters more when you are young, but having survived being young I'd gladly give that a miss again too.

        :) @BBCNews I also like powerful thick thighs on strapping athletic girls, oh dear I now sound pervy! Skinny people 0-4 also look fantastic!

        :) @BBCNews I'm a size 18-20 I wouldn't say no to being a 16 but not less! I grew up with art, in art beauty is beautiful and not size.

        @BBCNews If they feel awful then that should be the kickstart for them to do something about it

        @BBCNews well sorry, but I'm a UK 6 and I STILL feel fat, wobbly and horrible. I miss being a UK 4.

        @BBCNews Well when anything above a 12 is classed as plus size I don't think that makes you 'obviously plus sized', a 12/14/16 isn't big.
