So I was Fat. Currently residing somewhere in P.H.A.T.ville. Now heading toward being Fit. This is a blog that I've created to keep myself honest, share my story and possibly inspire others along the way. It has been a LONG time coming, but now it's time to finalize the last leg of this trip.
It took a long time to get this point, but I've finally learned to accept my curves. For years and years I beat myself up in various dressing rooms because I never really understood my body. This post is inspired by the fact I was just doing some online 'window shopping'. I ran across a site that had ultra skinny jeans on clearance. Two years ago I would have tried on some ultra skinny jeans and would have ended up in tears. I mean skinny jeans are already diabolical. But when you add ultra in front of them, a bottom heavy chick like myself would be inches from the ledge. Luckily I finally took inventory of my body and realized what styles and cuts work for me. I stopped trying to force my nooks into crannies that just weren't made for me. Accept your body shape and find clothing that compliments your figure.
As much as I love the retro look of shift dresses
they absolutely DO NOT work with my shoulder to waist to hip ratio. Not a good look at all.
I've found that belted dresses look better on me and they actually accentuate my waist. see >>>>
I do own a few pair of skinny jeans. None of them are ultra skinny, and normally I have to go up a size or two to accommodate my rump and thighs. Doesn't make me feel that skinny after all. But I digress. Every fashion trend isn't made for every person. And... that's OK. Accept what you've been blessed with and WORK your assets to your advantage. "Work" <in my best RuPaul voice>
