You've obviously never been labeled as a BBW. Having been a BBW and then smaller and now a BBW provider again, I would know from experience. Being BBW is way harder than being a in between and trust me, it does hurt your business. There's nothing like having rude comments about your weight being posted on your shiny reviews.

I have actually had a couple of gents tell me they were disappointed because they thought I would be BIGGER. And there are some who would absolutely label me as a BBW, but the general consensus is that I am "thick, but not a BBW".
Many years back, there was a VERY successful BBW-- I mean, 1K minimums, stellar reputation, etc. It is all about marketing. The more shame you show in your size, the harder it will be-- because most fans of BBWs seem to love those ladies who OWN who they are and do not apologize for it. I've even heard it directly referred to as that "big girl attitude".
