[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a size 4 and often ignored.  I’m not ugly but I think have a very “keep to myself” vibe and don’t exude warmth and confidence.  While completely agreeing larger people are often mistreated, given you weren’t particularly large, I wonder if your vibe could be a lot different if you’re feeling more confident.  I think that goes way further than a couple dress sizes (again not at all downplaying that if someone goes from a size 18 to a size 6 they will likely be treated differently)[/quote]

I agree with this 100%. My size has ranged from a 6 to a 14, fluctuating frequently due to pregnancies and antidepressant meds. When I am in the 12-14 range, my confidence is much lower, but I also have difficulties keeping up my appearance. Clothes don't hang the same and give a heavier person an overall frumpy look. That combined with the loss of confidence knowing how frumpy you look and losing interest in trying to boost your appearance and grooming, make you appear different to others.[/quote]
