Any other Chubby Goths out there?

I've always been into the Goth look, even when I was little I was borrowing my brothers spikes and tripp pants, wearing black lipstick when my mom wasn't around, and by the time I was thirteen I was into everything about it. The look, hairstyles, makeup, and more importantly, the music.

There are things, that because of my weight, I feel I can't do.
Like get the haircut I've always wanted (mohawk'ish), Dye my hair midnight blue, and not to mention the type of clothes I love...to me they wouldn't look right on someone of my figure.
I want to start carrying myself with more pride, and honestly, I need to be healthier.
But I'd like to do it with people, I've never had support for weight loss before, I would really appreciate having some now.
My names Kate.

Not a goth but have counted The Cure as one of my favourite bands since my formative years... and prefer wearing black to any other color. Throw me an add if you'd like.

Im so not close to goth or an age where goth would be appropriate even if I wanted to be that way ,but.....WAY TO GO making a decision to stop hanging your head in SHAME and making decisions to be healthier!!!!!

Its one choice at a time!!!!! Good luck to you!!!!

FearAnLoathing

I don't know enough about the Goth way of life but I do know I love the look. If I was younger I'd probably dress like that or emo or rockabilly punk. However I'm 65 so a little old for that now.
I do want to wish you the best and you're just coming to this site is the first step. You "can" do this!

I was through and through Goth when I was around 18 and I guess Iam still Goth. Ok..in my job I cannot spike my hair up (that's what I used to do) but most of my clothes are sill black. Of course I still listen to the same sort of music.....Once a Goth always a Goth

Ashley_Panda

I'm more punk style but I listen to everything from metal downward. I've done the goth style in high school but them damn tripp pants are expensive. Lol.

Goth/emo chicks are HAWT!!!

FearAnLoathing

I think its funny when people trip out on me for being my age and still dressing goth.But to be honest I only go all out when I go out other times its jeans and tee shirts.Goth clothes are to uncomfratable to chase a toodler around all day in lol

monkeybuttsmommy

I am rock-a-billy style and I am big. I don't let it get in the way. I dye my hair CONSTANTLY and could care less what others think. I am on my journey so I don't die before my son knows his mommy. I am all for self expression so feel free to add me.

lunaliberi

Yeah I've had that trouble with my nieces and nephew.
Chasing after a three year old in combat boots and chained jeans can be a bit difficult.

*rasises hand* Goth/deathrock/neo-victorian/whateveryouwanttocallit for a very very long time.

AngelsKisses75

YAY you!! Do what you do, and don't stress it! I go with my mood usually, though I will admit I have not worn my blacklipstick since ... oh Samhain. *nods* So if a person is 13, 30, 19, or 90 ...... 90 pounds - 900 pounds ... do what you like. It's your life live it, or miss out! (just don't get fired for it :laugh: )

\m/_ ROCK ON!! _\m/

Wow, I haven't considered myself goth in ages. (Now I have realised I am much to insane for that and find myself leaning towards Diesel-Zombie-Medival-Post Apocolyptic-Victorian-Tribal-Military-Art Deco-Viking-Grunge-Cyber-Ragamuffin-Heathen-Vintage-Glamabilly. Yea, think about that for a minute... Thank goodness for t shirts and jeans.) Not since the yuppies got ahold of it. Brings back memories though. There was a time when goth was kind to chubby people, not anymore. XD Great now I feel old. Ha ha...

But really don't let how you think others are looking at you stop from being bad-*kitten* in all things. I mean getting in shape is great and I wish you the best. But don't be afraid to be what you want, its not worth it. Fear is nothing but poo.

So yea, add me if you want...

(Also I have waist length very thick hair. Once I dyed it all blazing hot pink with a jet black stripe in front because nobody thought I was ballsy enough to. Well I did, and got compliments everywhere I went. So do what others are afraid of and they won't even notice that your big.)

I'm with you.

What she said - but I am a retired punk/Goth...:ohwell: Going more for the "eccentric yet stylish" look as the years pile up...lol

And by the way, if you want a mohawk by all means go for it! I had one about 30 years ago - and I think EVERY woman should know what her head looks like without hair! :happy:

AnathemaTeatime

Of course I'm totally saying "yay" to losing weight and being healthier, but . . . not sure where you live (yah I could have looked before hitting reply but didn't, whoops), here in San Francisco three are tons of hot zaftig goth girls in corset, sexy clothes, etc. Sure, sometimes I see some very large woman in a very small dress and thing gee, I don't think I'd make that fashion choice. But I have found in general that the goth/industrial/fetish scene is very accepting of all body types. Fwiw.

lunaliberi

Lol, I like that. "Every girl should know what they look like without hair" XD

Lazyboy09

So is this picture you? Or just one you like that you pulled from vampirefreaks?

TheGoktor

I'm not a goth, per se, but have what has been come to be regarded as a goth aesthetic, since long before goths were 'invented'! :laugh:

I have to admit that I'm not at all a fan of goth music (unless it's Voltaire!) but I am a big fan of people - regardless of age and size - being able to dress in a manner which they feel expresses their personality! :devil:

Feel free to add me if you want!

MemphisGirl75

I was Goth before they called it "Goth". Back in the late 80s/early 90s, we were just freaks! Still wear my docs though. Favorite band will always be the Cure, no matter what age I am. I was always a chunk, even back then, but I made a lot of my own clothes, added/changed stuff up, and wore a lot of guy's stuff (trenchcoats,black blazers, tuxedo shirts, etc).

I suppose some people would label me goth but i don't like labels
I've always just done my own thing, like shaving my head at hairdressing college! I know what you mean about feeing uncomfortable in 'goth' fashions. When i was a teenager the clubs etc we're full of all body types & curvier ladies we're actively sought out. These days like the rest of society thin seems to be the only way to be, i would hate to try to buy 'goth'clothes these days i have serious curves!
Good luck with your journey, i hope you get everything you need from this site x

StephanieDuckie

Does punk goth count? =]

kryscas

I've been called this (both goth and a chubby one too boot! lol) many a times. I'm a bit of everything really I suppose, if I were to think about it? But I don't. I'm me, and I'm pretty awesome. And that's all there is to say.

ampjorgensen

haha once upon a time. now I am a soccer mom so that life is behind me. The pants and clothes are not always functional with tots running around and being I live in small town iowa its not quite as accepted as a cultural norm and I think I'd miss getting invited to neighborhood events but its awesome you are so confident!

Jaqfrog

*raises hand* goth is just one of the pigeonholes I sit in.
yup, size UK16/18, but prolly 17/19 tbh.
feel free to add me on here - need all the support I can get to try and get my lazy *kitten* in better shape!
