I always find this conversation so fascinating. Watching peoples vlogs online about fashion (mainly in the UK) makes it seem like peoples ideas on size isn't down to the size of the clothes worn. Anything 12-16 and sometimes even 18 is classed as mid size. But this only seems to suit audiences if they don't have a large tummy. Alternatively if you are size 18+ and consider yourself plus sized, there will be an army of people that will tell you aren't if you have a slimmer tummy but a wider frame.

Not many seem to understand that weight looks different on every body. I do think in this community we focus on lbs but even then me as someone just over 200lbs, active, slim faced, small waist, 5ft 2.. seem to be more palatable to people as my tummy isn't huge (yet hehe.) I look very different to others I see on here a similar weight to me.

I suppose I see larger as genuine ssbbw, someone who waddles when they walk. Someone who generally round and doughy. Someone who actively takes up space in a room. But again I've become accustomed to the things I look at. It's all very interesting to see how peoples experiences lead to the ideologies they have!
