i hate that its hard to find good looking clothes for someone young and bigger, and have them to reck on u in like a week not even.

we can hardly find things we like as it is, plus gotta spend so much on it, you think since how clothes are more expensive that they would last and not be default . ya right..

so thats what grinds my gears

Yes I can relate, some people just want to talk about it when someone that is around is larger than they are, that way they make themself "feel better" by thinking well I'm fat, but not that FAT....UGH!!! That just gets me.. As for the clothes, Fashion Bug is great, I'm not sure of they have it everywhere, but they have an awesome website. Check it out!!!

Bump It really get to me when I'm eating and my mother is sitting there telling me how many calories are in each thing on my plate. i remind her how old I am and I know what and how much I'm eating but it doesn't seem to stop her.

my granny used to bake a lot and offer me some i say no i am trying to lose weight she would say oh you can have one piece then set it before me of course i would eat it. the coment was oh i thought she was on a diet she would say to my mom . loud enough for me to hear. i have very rarely went to a store and found any thing to fit so I am right in the same boat . my granny and mom have been gone for 17 years so see how long words stick. they did the best with the knoldge that they had at the time. if they had been taught differntly maybe they would have done better.

I think today's trendy clothing style absolutely SUCKS. I'm sorry, but why would I want to wear a shirt with the shape of a burlap bag, over leggings that make my thighs look like cottage cheese? The clothes that are in stores today are totally shapeless, and if I were thin, I wouldn't want to wear somethign that made me look bigger.

Any way! What really grinds MY gears is when I put on a pair of jeans and my big ass leaves a huge gap in between my jeans and my lower back. Always have to wear pretty undies
