annoyed!! (ranting)

Pinky, I agree with you that the person was rude and insensitive in what they posted.

I will, however, agree that there are some clothes that do not look flattering on some people. I, for one, would not wear spandex out in public without shorts overtop of them because it does not look good. It shows off all those things that I don't like to start with.

Also, while I agree that Confidence is a good thing, sometimes good judgment is a better thing. Just because they make clothes in my size does not mean they will look good on me or that I should wear them.

You never know, that girl that is overweight wearing that bikini may have lost like 50lbs. Yeah, to some it's not an appealing sight (I don't care...I never judge a book by it's cover) but to them it was an accomplishment to feel comfortable in their skin. A lot of people don't put that kind of thing into consideration.

I think people should wear whatever the heck they want. If I don't like it and don't think it's flattering, I don't have to look at them. I regard the way someone dresses as personal expression, who am I to judge? Just because I don't find it attractive, who cares, it's not about me. But I know people disagree with me, I can't even tell you how many times I've heard some nasty remark about an overweight person's dress and how it was rude of that person to subject them to that. I just happen to disagree and that's pretty true of me for everyone. Skinny, overweight, goth, preppy...do your thing.

*edit...weird grammar oops

I think it just goes to show how much overweight people are stereotyped in our society....and how much that kind of stereotyping is still "acceptable" by a lot of people. I became overweight when I started having my kids....so I know how much differently overweight people get treated....it's not fair, and it's not right! Right now I am a thin person in a fat body....if....no....when I reach my goals, I hope to be a fat person in a thin body and then I'll be much more apt to call people out on this kind of stuff. Whatcha think?

errrrrrrrr......ignorant people don't realize that Karma is a ***** and will come back and bite them in the butt cheeks!!
