Question for overweight women.

Pinkylouloubell

I know how you feel OP.
you dont say your actual size or weight (excuse me if I missed it), but i can totally sympathise with your feelings.

Im a women and I like to feel and look good, but at my current size, which can be anything between a 22 to a 26 I never feel good.

I really dont like to look sloppy, but find stretchy t-shirts and full skirts so much more comfortable than anything fitted or shirts.

I have a t-shirt in almost every colour of the rainbow and suppose I am pretty naive when I think they look OK, coz tbo, they are faded and baggy, but the bagginess seems to cover the lumps and bumps to a certain extent.

I never wear trousers, only to bed beacuse my hips and ar5e are huge and I just look disgusting, so cover it all up with full flouncy skirts.

Sometimes i look at pictures of myself and I just look like a big slob, which I really never intend to do when I am getting ready in the morning.

My hair is another story, Ive never been able to wear it down au naturel as it is a bit like afro hair and soooooo dry and frizzy, Ive tried every product under the sun, but nothing works for me, seriously people dont beleive me and always say have you tried...... or......., but they DONT WORK!! Lol!

My skin is greasy and spotty but then goes all scaly and dry and Ive been on different anti biotics for years to try n sort it out.

I have a bad knee which the doctor says is either water or early stages of arthritus.

My back plays me up daily and I wake up in the night in agony and have to ease myself over to one side s it hurts so much.

I get out of breath, felt awful and just keep getting bigger and bigger.

I keep asking why do I do this to myself but have no answers.

Im only 29 so know at the moment I still have time to make a difference, but have just split up from a long term relationship, have daily streeses with neighbours and family and am a full time working mum, so life can be tough.

I feel that part of the problem with us overweight gurls is we dress for comfort. I know I do + I go out of my way to buy sizes which are far too big for me in an effort to hide my lumps & bumps. However, if I catch myself in the mirror, I still see the lumps & deep down I know that wearing clothes that are too big/for comfort are actually making me look bigger.

I really need a good talking too & someone to show me how to dress to compliment my size & style. I favour the alternative style of dress, so I do find it difficult to find clothes which cater for this.

Many of my clothes are unwearable because I have bought bigger sizes than needed. My budget is also very tight at the moment, so am really struggling to find clothes to wear.

I am a lady with a fuller figure ( size 20 good day 24 bay day), I wear make up daily, I have my hair cut religously every 5 weeks and am on here because I spend FAR to much on clothes.

I work on fashion shows and photo shoots all over the world I am happy as I am, I am confident and love (most of the time) being the size I am as I stand out from the crowd and will be remembered - which in my job helps.

I think the size arugment is tosh, you are either confident or not. I know size 10 women who dont wear make up etc and it because they can be bothered, not because of there size.

Will a "make over" really help how you feel?
