The UK is behind in identifying with the plus-size consumer. I\u2019m not sure that America has embraced it necessarily but they have got the products.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As a champion for other plus-size women, Whitney even shared some of her top fashion tips: &#8220;Wear clothes that fit you,&#8221; she said. \u2018That\u2019s the number one issue. Women try and cover themselves up so they wear clothes that are too big but it makes them look frumpy. I cut the sizes out of everything &#8211; you don\u2019t need to know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will never be one perfect size. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/the-model-dubbed-a-squidgy-brick-bags-american-vogue-spread\/\">Kate Upton<\/a> is a size 8 and some people say she\u2019s too fat and she looks like a cow.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are never going to be a size that is generally accepted by everyone so you have to get over it. Especially with airbrushing, we are trying to look like an image that literally doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plus-size starts at a size 6 (UK size 10) in the U.S. but the average woman is a size 10 (UK size 14) so we are telling people that even if you\u2019re half the size of the average woman, you\u2019re too fat. Why? Probably because it sells; it makes women feel bad about themselves and they buy more products.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If men were only attracted to women who looked like Victoria Beckham, then we would all look like her. But they\u2019re not and that\u2019s why we are all different shapes and sizes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whitney is also an ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association and she travels worldwide to support the cause and spread the message:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After winning the show I knew I wanted to be involved in philanthropy and as the only plus-size model in the history of the show I knew I needed to do something in touch with that; it felt like a good fit for me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;University age is when you\u2019re deciding who you\u2019re going to be for the rest of your life so I love that I\u2019m impacting on people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And it seems like her hard work is paying off. She was recently named one of the most influential women in the world, beating off stiff competition from the likes of Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17498\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17498\" style=\"width: 612px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/blog\/2013\/10\/plus-size-model-whitney-thompson-a-fat-cow\/whitney-thompson\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17498\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17498\" alt=\"Whitney Thompson modelling for Panache\" src=\"http:\/\/assets.talentmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-uploads\/2013\/10\/whitney-thompson.jpg\" width=\"612\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/talentmanagementblog\/2013\/10\/whitney-thompson.jpg 612w, https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/talentmanagementblog\/2013\/10\/whitney-thompson-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/talentmanagementblog\/2013\/10\/whitney-thompson-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17498\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Whitney Thompson modelling for Panache<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One thing Whitney refuses to do is bow to pressure to eat less or exercise more in the name of her figure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I travel all the time, I haven\u2019t been home in over a year because I am literally on a plane every other day<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I can and I have the energy, I run because it\u2019s the easiest thing to do but I don\u2019t ever do anything I don\u2019t want to do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ll eat what I want to and I think that\u2019s the problem \u2013 people stop listening to their bodies and start listening to the media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a multi-million pound diet industry that wants us to think we are fat so they succeed, they get our favourite celebrities on board and the problem is that no one is listening to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I want a steak and chips, I am going to eat it and when I feel like going on a run, I will.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I\u2019m never going to force myself to do that. Life is too short; I could walk outside and get hit by a bus so I may as well eat what I want to eat,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think what is hard about the plus-size industry is that you\u2019re never the right size. I\u2019ve had people telling me to lose weight as well as gain weight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, you have to look in the mirror and say: \u201cThis is it, this is the only body I\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve definitely been criticised for marching to the beat of my own drum but I take pride in that. You can\u2019t listen to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It hurts. I\u2019ll get called a fat cow or that I am huge. People are harsh. The show is in over one hundred countries so I get hate mail from lots of people but the fan mail is worth so much more than that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I get letters saying \u201cmy daughter had bulimia for two years and because of you she has sought treatment\u201d, and just that one fan letter is worth more than all the hate letter in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s so much more motivational than one saying \u201cyou\u2019re fat\u201d.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The team here at Talent Management think it&#8217;s great that Whitney is speaking out about the modelling industry and trying to help other plus-size women and hopeful young models.
