Afterall, this is a STYLE blog...not a WEIGHT/SIZE blog. Your sizing is not pertinent to this discussion. As onlookers to your daily outfits, we can observe that "hey, this is a healthy lady who looks like she takes good care of herself." What more needs to be said here? I enjoy seeing your outfits everyday and thank you for sharing.Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618178968325732647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-89936442536735317182009-10-30T05:08:07.774-04:002009-10-30T05:08:07.774-04:00That was deep, passionate, and inspirational. Very...That was deep, passionate, and inspirational. Very great stuff. And I completely agree. I have not weighed myself since September 2004 (yes I remember the exact day. lol) and I love it. I have always, since way before the day in '04, thought that if you are comfortable with your body, feel like you are beautiful, are able to look in the mirror and say, "Yeah I'm okay", then weight holds no importancy. It's not about what we should be, what we could be, it's about who we are and I feel like if I can look into the mirror and see myself as beautiful, it doesn't matter a single bit how much I weigh.<br />It's awesome that you feel the same way and understand. Everyone always asks, "How much do you weigh? I bet you weigh ....." It's like, it doesn't matter! I am healthy, feel healthy, and eat waaaay better than even you* so it obviously doesn't matter.<br />Great post!<br /><br />-Aisha<br />chicclothesjunkie.blogspot.com<br /><br />*not YOU, but the people who always ask about weight questions.Aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996521331237669880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-6758616428169008122009-08-09T02:57:41.625-04:002009-08-09T02:57:41.625-04:00I admire you for this post!

We've come a long way toward equality in our society, but we battle with ourselves over weight & give up a lot of power and confidence in doing so. I applaud your courage in admitting your struggle with the issue, and your confidence in yourself despite it. You are beautiful & you wear it well.

I find that the more numbers obsessed we become, the less in touch we are with our own bodies. You cannot capture health or beauty for that matter in a few digits.

Since I've been successful in keeping my weight down and staying fit (knock on wood), I hope that I can share that positivity with others who are also struggling. <br /><br />I've been lucky not to get flamed, I guess.

There are so many women ...Totally agree with you. <br /><br />There are so many women obsessed with the dress size that they don't mind squeezing themselves into a dress two sizes too small but can't bring themselves to buy what fits them well. The dress size is marked on the inside of the dress. Nobody knows what size you are wearing but they can see if your stomach is bulging out of your jeans!! <br /><br />An ideal dress size is always an elusive number that's relative to your current size. For instance, a size 16 woman would give anything to fit into a size 8 dress and a size 8 woman can't stop envying someone who fits into a size 2 dress!<br /><br />I have written on similar topics at:<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.fitnchic.com/Article5.html" REL="nofollow">Dress Size - Just Another Number</A> and <A HREF="http://www.fitnchic.com/Article8.html" REL="nofollow">Right "Size Does Matter"</A>fitnchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646874893936767179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-88607664058227101112009-04-24T23:37:00.000-04:002009-04-24T23:37:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.fitnchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646874893936767179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35612423.post-36863824781413620672009-04-24T22:46:00.000-04:002009-04-24T22:46:00.000-04:00Psh!
