Plus Size Women (and men)...(vent)

On top of all of the other BS we have to deal with as trying to find clothes, etc,


I really HATE that people assume that just because you're above a certain size you go home and like eat 3 pizzas 4 pies and 13 gallons of ice cream in one sititng. I HATE IT. I gained a lot of wake subsequen to 2 car accidents because my activity level dropped from pretty high to nothing. And all my doctor (who knows hte situation) can say is 'Stop eating junk food'

I don't even eat junk food that often! I'm a health nut. And they tell me I'm eating too much when i eat 1/2 as much as most people. GRRRRRRRR.....Does anyone else experience this?

oh yes! I understand ever since i had my gall bladder out last in nov. I cant believe its a year already! I been having lot of trouble with my weight and i am not happy about it. Right now i am going through another thing with my health its my thyroids! its making me gain weight i had to take a blood test, have a ultra sound on my thyroid and now I have to go for a scan than i have to go to a specialist. i cut back on my food I am not eating Ice cream .Dh and i are now buying yogurt and other healthy stuff now. well gl I hope thing work out for you if you ever need someone to talk to fm me.

I have the opposite problem - people think that because I'm thin I don't eat enough. I eat PLENTY thank you. I stay thin because I exercise (and not excessively either!)
Jeez, it's like if you're overweight you must eat nothing but junk and if you're thin you must have an eating disorder

people assume way too much

weight can also be contributed to gentics also or certain type of medications you are taking.
people should really mind their own business somtimes

I am not a very heavy person but since my kids were born, Boy did I put on like 40 lbs. I can not take it off. If you looked at me you would think I weighed MUCH less then I do. People are even surprised at it when I tell them. I also now have the pot belly but I hate it.

I have to say this I felt bad yesterday I walked into the Avenue for a gift for my SIL and I felt bad cause I didnt know her size and to be honest, I didnt know how th esizes ran in there so I asked for help. The girl who was there helped me so much she was like how big is she compared to me and this girl was big. With out insulting her how do I say she is smaller here but bigger there kinda scenereo. I finally called my sil and asked her for her size. So she knows she is getting clothing. But I I am doing something extra special for her which is a secret.
