I gave in to buying a bigger size, and am planning on getting a really pretty dress from monsoon - and i look great in them! I thought if i gave in to buying size 20 trousers (its weird, i can wear skirts as small as 16, nuts in sizing!) then i would get bigger, say 'oh well, size 22...etc' etc. Then i remembered i have varying sizing of clothes.
It is a shame that shops like morgan and topshop have some clothes that are quite small sized and people MAY feel that this dictates their body shape/size.
Ive put on chub, but i dont have the motivation or the want to lose it right now. Im kinda comfy, although i know the extra tyre aint so healthy, im not eating chips every day and doing bugger all exercise; its just not my time....*reaches for the turkish delight*

I do not understand alienating her by calling her 'fucking idiotic' and being downright rude - that's not the opposite of mollycoddling however you look at it. |
Its a strong emotion conveyed because she feels so strongly and her and cares about her state of health; rather than getting upset, she got angry. And i dont think she's meaning to be offensive, she's meaning to give Christie a verbal kick up the arse in the right direction.
Im being an observer here, im not saying either way what she should do.
