Oh my gosh!! I LOVE this thread. I am what people would probably consider a “big” girl (I'm 5’7”, and I wear size 10 on a REALLY good day and sometimes all the way up to a size 16 on a NOT so good day). I have no problem saying that I am a very beautiful girl. I absolutely LOVE my body, and honestly, I don’t have any desire to be thinner. I am not just saying that bc I’m “big” and trying to make the best of my “larger size” by telling people I like the way I am. I REALLY DO love the way I am. I have never had ANY trouble getting attention from guys, I get dates regularly, and I have had my share of very attractive boyfriends, all of whom were (and I’m sure still are, yes, I’m pretty confident) absolutely CRAZY about my body. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not dissing thin girls (and guys) at ALL, I don’t have a problem with smaller people, and its not like I think that a size 6 is unattractive or anything, but I think it would be unattractive for me. I don’t think I would be happy at that size, but that’s not to say that I don’t see beautiful girls all the time that are smaller sizes. Everyone is beautiful. I really believe that as long as you are healthy (that can go for both those who are too large, AND those who are too small), you are beautiful. So anyways, just wanted to say how much I absolutely LOVE this thread, and that if you are a “big” girl, please do not feel ashamed because that is what the fashion world wants you to think. They are just trying to sell clothes, and most of the times, the clothes that they are selling really only look good on those thinner types, its like they have forgotten how to make clothes that look attractive on women. I have noticed recently that many of the clothing you see in the stores look like they are for little 11 yr old girls, NOT women!!! It drives me crazy to think that the world today thinks it is sexy to look like a child rather than a woman!! Children are not sexy to me. Women are. Just my thoughts…
