From near and far, readers react to the virtual pages of PLUS Model Magazine…

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I love this mag. I am 33 years old and have been a “curvy girl” for as long as I can remember. It makes me sad to think of how many years I have spent hating my body trying to conform to a standard of beauty that is unatainable. It has only been within the last few years that I have truly started to appreciate and love my body for what it is. I cannot thank you enough for having a magazine that celebrates plus size and reinforces the mantra “BIG IS BEAUTIFUL”… you have no idea how much you have contributed to my self-esteem… keep up the great work and know that you are helping to change the way the world sees us and the way I see myself.
