Skinny Models Out, Plus-Size In?
Could stick-thin models be on their way off the runway?
That's what some are wondering after Whitney Thompson became the first plus-size model to win "America's Next Top Model" last week.
Thompson, 20, is a size 10. She's not at all fat by conventional standards; she's slimmer than the 34 percent of Americans older than 20 who are obese. But compared with the impossibly thin models dominating runways around the world, she's big, and she's considered plus-size in the modeling industry. She's heard that her entire career.
"I've stood there in the middle of an agency with everyone pointing at me and saying 'four more inches off the hips would be great,'" Thompson said. "I don't recommend any girl putting herself through that, but I did and I stand here unchanged, physically.
"Right before I left to do the first episode in L.A., I was with one of my best friends and she said, 'You're fat. You are not going to make it in this competition,'" she continued. "So every week that I made it, I was like, 'Ha!' Obviously, we're not friends anymore."

WOD
For time:
1 Mile Run
100 Wall Balls (20#/15#)
This workout can be partitioned in any way you deem necessary to finish in the fastest time. It's a strategy workout in which each person is given complete control over how the reps of both movements are to be completed so as to try and finish before anyone else. Obviously, the most apparent break-up is 4 rounds of a 400 meter run followed by 25 wall balls but is this the best path to the quickest time? There are a number of ways to attack this and I am eager to see the different approaches taken. Is it strategy, plain will to finish, or both that produces the fastest time.
