So I am fat. I like food too much to lose weight and after spending years of my life worrying about my waistline, I've had enough.

I want to look good this summer and see fabulous fat women all the time ... what is the secret to looking fat and fabulous?! Aibu to think that you can still look brilliant at 18 stone?! I just want fashion tips please, not judgement or weight loss advice! Thanks

@UserV yes, you're right, I'm going to be crying into my Ben and Jerry's all night.

Noqont · 24/05/2018 23:48

Whatever.................. You keep trying to convince yourself that you are gorgeous and sexy.

I don't need to. I have plenty of both ;-)

Not sure you have though sweetie.

I like Scarlett and Jo clothes, but I am in my mid 40s, maybe not ‘young’ enoigh for you OP. Xx

UserV is trying to play the ‘telling it how it is’ card, but there’s real vitriol in your posts. Seems to me like you have a problem, and an odd need to make fat people feel shame. Seems like it’s time for a bit of introspection, because that kind of behaviour is reall weird.

No stuff it, you have to feel comfortable in your own skin.
Enjoy yourself for who you are. You owe yourself that much.

I’ve put on a huge amount of weight, hormone issues, MH issues not addressed properly, it’s made living with myself very hard,
If you can find it in yourself to accept yourself than that’s all that matters,
There are some absolutely gorgeous bigger ladies out there, much the same as being a size 10 doesn’t make every woman a complete stunner.

There are lots of options, I tend to new like new look curve, simply be, yours, matalan curve and ASOS.

Dresslily does some lovely clothes in plus size too. You need to just find what suits you. Good luck,

BakedBeans47 · 24/05/2018 23:49

not very appealing to look at.

I don’t dress to be appealing to other people. Never have, even when I was thin.

OP find what suits you and stick with the style, that’s what I was trying to show with my pics, the two dresses have the similar shape.

Oh and ignore those posters trying to put people down, not giving a shit is liberating! Wink

BakedBeans47 · 24/05/2018 23:51

*I'm out.

Cannot take any more of this fucking bollocks.*

Bye then! Don’t let the door bang you on the (bony) arse on the way out, given your opinions were neither asked for, nor wanted, on the thread in the first place

Zoflorabore · 24/05/2018 23:51

Come on userV- post a pic yourself....

Or are you all mouth? Grin

StaplesCorner · 24/05/2018 23:51

Bloody hell that UserV has some issues - I think they need to have a lie down in Netmums.

Fluffyears · 24/05/2018 23:53

not very appealing to look at.

Then don’t look, I assume you have a working neck? Use it to look away, I couldn’t give two shits if you think i’m ‘Appealing’ or not i’m not bothered about impressing someone like you.

Noqont · 24/05/2018 23:53

Cannot take any more of this fucking bollocks.

Alright then love. I'd like to say you'll be missed. But with your personality... You won't be.

RickOShay · 24/05/2018 23:53

Yanbu
I really liked dribble’s post.
Of course you can be fat and fabulous. Enjoy who you are whatever package you are in Grin

Fluffyears · 24/05/2018 23:54

Yeah fine on UserV a side on picture!

JaretsGirlfren · 24/05/2018 23:55

angry can I share your Ben & Jerry’s? I need something to cry into (on account of thinking I’m fab when I’m just fat Sad Grin )

Noqont · 24/05/2018 23:55

Of course you can be fat and fabulous. Enjoy who you are whatever package you are in

Definitely

Noqont · 24/05/2018 23:56

No jarets, you look fab.

Raisinshoes · 24/05/2018 23:56

I envision UserV spying the thread title, and feeling a ball of rage erupt from her abdomen. Then she storms the thread like an absolute hero to give all of us fatties a piece of her mind. Well it’s worked, I feel so unattractive and ashamed of myself, don’t you ladies? Consider us all well and truly told off Grin

Noqont · 24/05/2018 23:58

Oh yes, she's certainly put me straight now, lol.

RickOShay · 24/05/2018 23:59

ps User
i am not obese
so there

SaucyJack · 24/05/2018 23:59

Anyone else suspect User V is a weeny bit hangry?
