On Monday morning, a team of experts were assembled by Good Day New York to make over Lisa, a busy New York City plus size mom and real estate executive. OneStopPlus.com's Editorial Director, Nancy LeWinter, was on hand to give her expert fashion advice. She gave Lisa a fresh simple look enhanced by bold accessories to match her professional and personal lifestyle.
What do you think of the makeover?

The “haves” and “have nots” – it’s a game of weight and size. I have two sons; one is tall and thin, the other is average height and stocky but BOTH have great self esteem and respect people of all differences. I am so not going to keep my mouth quiet about the false ideology that “thin is in”. Millions of people, especially young women, have eating disorders and weight problems. This is what I call an impact of society’s “bad fati-itude” . For some, being over/underweight is not a choice, but a lifelong struggle. No matter what, it is important for men, women, girls and boys to be empowered and not to succumb to a desire to be a human toothpick; it’s ugly. Healthy can be healthy at any size. Yes weight contributes to other problems but it is entirely possible for someone to be overweight and be healthy otherwise. More so, they can be happy. It is also possible for overweight people to "have" and accomplish just the same as anyone else. For those who have no respect for larger people: grow the heck up and stop being so ignorant. I can sing, paint and sculpt the pants out of some of Hollywood’s biggest anorexics. Nobody can prove to me that being thin is all that matters. As a parent and a human being, I will continue to foster positive in the culture that is so hung up on weight. I was recently repeatedly threatened and harassed out of a job (forced into resignation), due to my weight. I am 5′10″ and curvy – and proud of it, but my Supervisor and Director had “personal issues” with just that. Do not tolerate workplace discrimination relative to weight – or for any matter. Stand up and let your voice be heard.

It’s time for reform; people need to become better educated and more tolerant. Great article!
I am very happy that they featured a "plus size woman".. CHEERS! Too much emphasis is place on thin.
