I don’t know about you, but when you’re plus sized - whether a plus size woman or man - it can feel like people look right past you and don’t really notice you. If they do notice you - they don’t make eye contact and keep on their merry way. I used to think it was my imagination, but as I’m losing weight - I can say for certain it was not.
If you’re a plus size woman, you know that plus size clothing has different rules than regular size clothing does, right? If not, I’m here to enlighten you….
I’m not the voice of all plus sized women, but I am pretty sure many of us have similar feelings on many different topics when it comes to things like turnstiles, clothing store fitting rooms and other things of this nature.
I went shopping for a plus size sports bra yesterday…what a sad, sad day! Let me just say that those dressing room mirrors are cruel sometimes. They make you see reality that you sometimes don’t want to see.
I’ve started a walk/run training program, and one thing I’ve noticed is the serious lack of plus size running gear. Don’t get me wrong - there are a few places that carry stuff - JMS, Junonia, etc..
I was in search of some shoes today. Let me start off by telling you why…I generally use my Crocs (flip-flops) in the summer for darn near everything. I love them because no matter how much my feet swell, I’m comfortable. Last night, we went out for the night, and I needed some dressier shoes, because I wasn’t familiar with the venue we were going to. I didn’t want to just try to squeeze by with flip-flops of course, and my black shoes I used to rely on weren’t fitting so well anymore.
Are you looking for plus size jewelry? My sister makes handmade beaded jewelry, and she incorporates plus size pieces in her designs too. We’re slowly getting her shop set up and I wanted to show you her work. She’s gone shopping with me, and seen how frustrating it is for me to find comfortable pieces that fit my plus size body. My wrist is bigger than hers, my ankle for anklets, my neck, etc…
Plus Size Dating: Have I mentioned…I met my husband online? I met him through a dating website. It’s true! I didn’t have time to go out and look for guys to date…besides, where would I look? I don’t drink, I’m not much of a dancer….seriously, I was in my 30’s, divorced, busy, and working overtime, and unless someone was going to flag me down in the grocery store, I had no chance of meeting someone.
Whether you are going to a prom, a work event, a wedding, or out for a nice dinner, a great dress can make you feel special!
