Anyone 5ft ish and heavy?

[bellacullen18981]

I have put on a lot of weight due to meds over the last few years and I'm so down about it. I wish I could love my body so much! Every time I see someone similar to me I think they look gorgeous but when I look in the mirror I feel massive I feel so small and dumpy . I wish I was taller so I'd look a bit better, anyone in the same boat. X

Yes me. 5ft & currently a 14 - which I know people will say isn't proper huge, but it is when you're so short! Sick of looking dumpy in everything.

4 ft 11 here and just under 10 stone. Size 14, but that is mostly the comedy 32FF boobs. I don't think I'm huge but my shape changed so much since having children that I don' recognise myself. In my early 20s I was a size 8 and didn't need to wear a bra. I think in my own mind I'm still a really petite person and when I see myself in the mirror or in photos it shocks me! I find that heels do make a big difference but I can't walk in anything other than wedges which are quite impractical for day to day. A well fitting bra (I spent years in an M&S 36C which clearly did me no favours) and close fitting (but not tight clothes) make a big difference. I do actually like my body without clothes on - I think it's quite lush and curvy and DH still seems pretty keen on it, but there are hardly any clothes which I feel really good in.
