Big Girl Chic: Plus-Size Retail Growing

It's amazing how she can judge. One day her figure may not be perfect and she will see what her words did to others. Wonder where her selfestem will be.

I imagine that her self esteem stares back at her from the bottom of the toilet as she forces herself to barf up recently consumed goodies.

That's what I like about ethnic clothing - saries (spell?), Amish and Mennonite dresses, some of the wrapped skirts you see African women in, indigenous Mexican dress, and the Hawaiian dresses. Hawaiian women tend to be very large, but some of the prettiest women I've ever seen were wearing those typical long floral ruffled dresses.

Lovely and dignified at the same time.

fwiw I wasn't gloating. I unfortunately know a LOT of women who do this and it all goes back to their fathers patting them on the rear end and telling them that they'd be more lovable if they were thinner. I've worked with a lot of them in an eating disorders counciling group at church, if they're not puking their starving themselves.

Why do so many men do this? Do they see it as some form of paternal "though love"? My OWN father enjoyed making embarrassing comments - esp. when I was in puberty, and he was otherwise an ordinary decent man.

BF told his obese nine year old niece that she would be thinner if she lived with us (her mother literally stuffs the girl with junk food). Maybe he thought it was a "teaching" sort of comment???? I told him that obnoxious comment was absolutely NOT ok!
