Sound Off!!! What do you think constitutes a

I saw a commercial last night that just infuriated me. It was a model company searching for new plus sized models that were (are you ready?) size 10 and up!!! Since when is a size 10 considered a plus size individual? I look at people that are size 12 and 14 and wish I could be that size. To me that is normal. The "average" woman is bigger than a size 10. And the worst part is, they are looking for teenagers as well. I was a 10 in high school and felt just right. But had I seen that commercial at a teenager, I probably would have starting starving myself to get away from that label. What damage do they think they are doing to our self-esteems and to the future of our daughters? I'd be ecstatic if my 8 yr old grows up to be a size 10 and would be devastated if she considered herself fat at that size. Just wanted to sound off and get some opinions.
