Of course they like you! You are the "fat friend" You make them feel better about themselves. |
My skin is much happier when I leave it alone. |
My skin is happiest when I'm sweating daily. My skin glows after a good workout and I don't need makeup. |
Wow, PP you are an ass. My best friend has a physical impairment that no one sees and no one knows about, just one or two of us close friends. Some might consider her overweight. Mostly, men love her and women (who do not know her) hate her. Honestly, my best friend is gorgeous. She is outgoing, happy, accomplished, successful, educated, kind and generous. She has a great life and a great family. She keeps haters at bay, smartly. She should be the type who is smug, snarky and a nasty (according to the behavior on this board) - like the male "big swinging dick" syndrome (read: teeny tiny peeny IRL). But she is wise and knows that life is short, and nasty people are a dime a dozen. She is loaded, but dresses very casually. Sometimes yoga pants and sneakers, for example. But she is such a great person to know, that she comes across as polished to me and everyone that knows her. She has her life together better than anyone, and she is not a jerk about it. That kind of person is the most polished to me. Anyone that knows her wants to be just like her, and she is always asked for advice because of how successful she is. |
Some people on this thread sound so uptight and miserable.
To the PP who keeps harping on the "overweight PP": you are a horrible person. Class isn't related to weight, or maybe your definition is purely based on conventional, mainstream, repressive, patriarchal definitions of class. Class, as I see it relates to someone having a sense of style, confidence, self-possession, and grace - qualities that have nothing to do with weight, and everything to do with your character. You have absolutely no character, so I see you as a person of trash value, based on your previous comments. |
They do not sell to overweight. Lucy brand (love) sells at different lengths. |
There is a shoe shine man at Nordstrom Montgomery Mall. He does a great job if you don't want to do it yourself. |
There is more than 1 PPtalling about overweight not being polished, FYI. |
For your hair, look for barrettes or ties with decorations on them so you can look like the ponytail was intentional, rather than a sign of defeat. At the least, use clear rubber bands to put it up and wrap a piece of hair around. |
New poster here. Then this poster is talking to all of them. |
Scarves do wonders.

For what? What do they do exactly? |
I agree about scarves. I'm a teacher so I don't have the $$ for designer clothes. I shop at the Loft and outlets like Banana Republic and J. Crew for pants, capris, shorts, etc. I wait until they are having a good sale and then stock up. So I mostly wear solid colors but I have quite a few scarves. People notice them right away. They don't notice that I wear kind of boringish clothing. My clothes fit well but they aren't wow clothes. My scarves really make the outfit. |
People notice scarves because they are so weird. A person wearing a scarf is screaming for attention. |
The fat hatred just shocks me. I'm convinced all of you are cranky because you're hungry.
Everyone is fighting a different battle and some are more important than others. I have an invisible disability, and a side effect of my medication is to make it easier for me to gain and hold on to weight. I'm also a full time mom and something has to give. My family spends time walking rather than separate time at the gym away from our child. Why should I stress over something I can't control, when I can control how I feel about myself, how I treat others, and how I put myself together? It really does go to show that fat discrimination is the last bastion of prejudice. |
