I had the opportunity over the Halloween weekend to attend a seminar with my boss and a few of the people I work with virtually. At first I was a little apprehensive about going because I knew I would be meeting many of our clients as well as a co-worker that I have known ‘online’ only.

It amazes me at how my own perception of myself has such a negative impact on what I think other people think of me…did that make any sense? You see, the first thing I think when I walk into a room is, “Oh God, I’m the fattest person here” no matter how hard I try, it’s always there..floating and roaming around in the back of my mind.

I received this in my email from an affiliate program that I am a member of and I have to say…I like their site a lot! There is nothing worse than going to a site for ‘plus-size’ and none of the models are above a size 10! It kills me! I would like to see how it would look on me…not the model that lives down the street.

Now not all of their products are for Plus-size but the ones that are, are actually modeled by plus size women. Just a fore-warning, some of their lingerie is a bit revealing, as are their models..

The funniest thing happened on Friday. I won a $2000 shopping spree from a scratch off ticket that I got from a car dealership. I called to find out if I had to buy a new car in order to claim my shopping spree…Nope didn’t have to! Woohoo!

So Friday afternoon I drove up, (the dealership was about an hour away, but who cares for $2000). When I got there the man that greeted me at the door had to have been close to 7feet tall! He was huge! Not to mention he had a nice build to go with that height. I muttered under my breath how I’d love to have some of his height…well…. Read more »

Ok so in my last post I mentioned that all of this was starting to affect my marriage..Not in the sense because of my weight gain being a problem..more so in the way that I see myself and how I feel about myself.

I have been pondering on just how personal I want to get on here but I am just going to put this out there because I know there are women that feel like me and maybe this will help someone else…

I stopped wearing the sexy underwear, the sexy bras etc.. a long time ago. For one it was a pain in the ass to find them in my size and have them actually fit right. But in my mind I had this image of what I actually looked like wearing them…it wasn’t a pretty image. It actually made me hate myself a little more and feel a little more ashamed. So instead I started buying the plain white bras and the highcut briefs. My husband hates my “Granny panties” and has threatened on several occasions to burn them all. Read more »

I found this article and had to post it because man it hits the nail right on the head! I buy 95% of my clothes online from Plus-Size Retailers. I rarely have ever had to return something. It seems when you buy something from a Retailer/Designer that deals mainly in the Plus-Size market, their clothes actually fit the way they are supposed to!

7 reasons why plus size women should consider shopping online for clothing and accessories

I am often surprised by people’s reaction when I tell them that I bought my latest dress off the Internet. They cannot understand how I could take the ‘risk’ of buying something so personal online, without even touching or trying it on first. This is the most common feedback I get from many friends and relatives when they compliment me on my new outfit, ask me where I got it from and I tell them… online!
