Heck, NO! That doesn't offend me a bit. I always admire a plus sized girl who can carry herself with confidence....and, that IS a really cute dress that I would like to wear! However, I know that I,
personally would not be comfortable in it unless it was in a size 10 or so.
I could tell you of a few times that I have purchased an outfit that is out of my comfort zone, tried it on several times on the way out, girdled it up, accessorized, felt pretty good....then a glance in the mirror on the way out with the reality of my weight deflates me and sends me running to change into the trusty "fat uniform" again before I step outside the door.
It really is too bad that we can't all just
decide to be happy with our weight. It is not for health reasons that I am here on a weight-loss mission, it is for vanity. If this world were a kinder place to people that are my size perhaps I would happily stay heavy and not have to be so disciplined in my WOE.
The bigger question here may be: "Why do you care so much what others think?", or perhaps, "Why do you think that they care at all?" I know that I see women who are my size or larger in dresses and skirts all the time and I don't give it a second thought. I certainly don't cringe or wonder what the heck they were thinking on their way out of the door.
But, I think you can only project beautiful if you feel beautiful. I know that I can't feel that at this weight...so I will try again when I am a little smaller.
(Heck of a cute dress though!!
