Arrggh.. there’s a certain word I wanna use to get my point across, but my brain is dead to the world right now so I’m gonna attempt to get my point across without it….

Firstly.. I think HNS and all of you at the helm, are fantastic.. I love the message that your campaign delivers – skinny or curvy, it’s all about being healthy. What I think I love even more, is the way you are equally supportive of ALL women. Your interview was great, and the way you eloquently speak to unite us all – without even the slightest bit of cattiness – You’ve restored some of my faith in humanity tonight. Excellent stuffs.. thank you. Xx

women/girls will always compare. Even if the model is at a healthy size or weight..most women and girls do not have the models hair, beautiful face, or skin. Hence, I know that I will still compare myself..regardless of how thin the model is. If everybody wants to stop the comparing and belittling of themselves, then feature real models. without the perfect faces.

While I completely appreciate the inclusion of models that fill in the size gaps between “plus size” and “standard size” women in the media, (which seems weird to me, I still don’t understand why there absolutely NEEDS to be a differentiation) I still find myself comparing myself to these women. Like even though a picture may say that a girl is a size 16, she still Appears to have a completely flat stomach

HNS came to my high school two years ago and basically gave a presentation that was this article. I’m pretty sure most of my friends, if not most of the girls at my school were positively impacted though HNS. Their message that all beauty is real beauty.

I 100% agree with Rachel. Something I consistently see is that while more curvy models are being seen, they all appear to be tall. I’m 5 feet 2 inches, curvy, and black, and I think it’s important to get people of ALL shapes, heights, and colors included. Modeling agencies need to be all inclusive, instead of picking out specific body types. Everyone can be healthy, but we don’t all come in a “one size fits all” medium.

I definitely support women having a healthy weight and being proud of their body and image; no matter what size.
However, I feel that it is important to point out that there are some girls that are naturally skinny. Is it right to show women with another body type and claim them to be the only type of healthy? Ideally, the perfect campaign would represent women of all body types and images showing that healthy can mean different things for every woman and nobody should be ashamed of their body.
