Its not the waist upwards that I would have the problem with, but the waist downwards. Not a pretty sight, and would look even huger when compared with a cinched in waist!
I think most people would be too distracted by your "bangers" as Gok likes to call them to worry about anything else:D.Mortgage OP 2025 £7550/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Gok who is this Gok? I have been missing out:(
Had a bit of a LBM clotheswise today really fed up of looking a mess - couldn't find anything to fit today as I am very large in the "bangers" department I find all tops too short - but I treated myself to a magazine and saw an advert for an outsize shop I have not been to before Box2 they are online but I would prefer to try on in a shop so I think OH and I are going to Kendal (nearest one to us)on Friday just hope I like the clothes I can't wait until I lose weight as my clothes are terrible and I am sure make my look bigger than I am.
I need a personal shopper/makeover person!!!

That would be my job in an ideal world. I got as far as getting cards made and then the recession started so now I just do it for friends and family a bit. It usually involves me shouting at them to throw stuff out and them hanging on to some old unflattering bit of tat for dear life!!! I am RUTHLESS with my wardrobe and anything past it's best gets ebayed or sent to the charity shop or if it's really naff, binned. I do work in fashion retail so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. In actual fact i think Joan Collins has got it right and couldn't feel good unless I looked the best I can. Yes it takes time but I can't think of anyone I'd rather spend time on!!! XXX'The road to a friends house is never long'0
