Mid Size, Plus Size, Petite, Hourglass, Apple - why are we classified based on our body shape?

Lately there has been a rise in the mid size movement; a pocket of women that are considered "medium" and the "in between".  With the rise of this movement, and others such as plus size and body positivity -  we have also seen women who are considered petite or skinny; trying to trend - by creating social media content pushing themselves into these categories. How many times can you change your body to fit in? Are we really going to follow the Kardashian body trends forever?

Each of our bodies is uniquely different, from the colour of our skin, to our dna make up - why do we keep grouping women based on one characteristic - the size of their pants (and butt). Kim K getting (or not getting) a BBL was every plastic surgeons dream - every girl was lining up on the doorstep of any clinic that had an available appointment to enhance the size of their behind. Kim K then flipped the script and had her BBL removed - awkward silence​

In this episode we unpack this concept of our bodies fitting into a trend. Is it the need to belong, the need to stay relevant or the need to have a label so you feel ok in a community of others that share your identity.

What category do you fall into?
