Oh wow, my highest weight was about 260 and I
never wore a freaking outfit like that even in the privacy of my own home, LOL! To me, that is just tasteless. When I got down to about 200 I felt really great though to tell you the truth. I would cry if I weighed that again but just taking off that 60+ pounds gave me new life and that was before weight lifting.
Any person who is obese and says they like being that way is just deceiving themselves, IMO. I don't get into that whole "fat acceptance" thing. I do not judge them but I don't accept that for myself either.
I just feel bad for really big gals, especially those who don't know how to dress. I used to spend a TON of $ on clothes just to feel half way decent about being around myself. If I didn't feel cute, I'd just stay home. And I DID for a long time. Freaking depressing as hell.
Everytime I see a cute, big girl I wanna go up and shake her shoulders and say, "there's surgery for you missy!!!" But out of respect I just make friends when I can and tell my story. There's much more to losing a hundred pounds than surgery. There's the decision to bust your ass in the gym 6 or 7 days a week IN addition to swearing off crappy eating for life. And then comes the reconstructive surgeries.
Oh gosh, I could go on and on. Sorry for the rant.
Edited to add: I'm pretty sure I'll never look like the hot chick either. I look like my own flavor of hotness. Nothing like her though, lol! She has a really long, crazy, hot torso. Beautiful! Just traits I don't have.
