It can be depressing when your plus size. Shopping center dressing rooms are the pits….I went to Fashion Bug last week, and I brought about 10 things in with me. Oh my gosh, it was depressing. The thing is, I had some really cute stuff that looked great on the hanger, but transferred onto my frame, and I wasn’t as excited. I walked out with one blouse.

I wanted to have a shopping day with a couple of great shirts for spring. I didn’t. It wasn’t their fault…I’m not happy that I’m not losing weight. I want to put on a cute sundress and spin and just love it. I want to visualize something on me to look like it does on the hanger…

That’s why I own a lot of purses and sunglasses….no surprises involved. They look the same no matter what.

Plus Size Dating

by admin

Did I ever tell you that I met my husband online? I met him through a dating website. It’s true! I was working full time, and don’t drink, so I didn’t go to bars, and wasn’t sure where to meet men my age. I was in my 30′s, divorced, busy, working, have kids, and unless someone was going to flag me down in the grocery store, I had no chance of meeting someone.

Friends offered to set me up with their brothers, but who needs that kind of pressure?

Finally, I decided to try these online dating sites a try. I didn’t take it too seriously at first, but then starting meeting really nice people! You know what? They were just like me, busy working, and not a lot of time to meet people.

Then came the day I met my future husband. We started talking, and something just clicked. After 2 weeks, we finally got together in person. That was almost 9 years ago! We dated for 3 years (I have kids, and wanted to go slowly), and have been married for 6 years come May of this year.

He is the most amazing man, and I’m blissfully happy.

The thing about being plus sized, we’re well aware in life that we can be judged by our size. Let’s face it, men are visual, and I was so nervous to meet face to face. I’d shown him pics, and told him I was carrying extra weight. It didn’t matter to him. Now with plus size dating sites, there’s no worrying about this factor. Let’s face it, that’s a nice feeling. You can just go on being yourself, and know that your extra weight is NOT an issue.

Did you know you can join Plus Size Dating for free, and post a picture. In only 2 steps, you’ll be able to search profiles and more! What are you waiting for? Your someone special is waiting for you, just like my special someone was waiting for me.
