SHAPE OF THE NATION

Woman at home

I have always been at least a size 16+ since I was 16 years old. Although I have many reasons to believe that I am an attractive and desired woman, the constant bombardment in the media and general public is that I am at best invisible and at worst a freak who ought to do something about herself.

I have at one time dieted to be a size 10 but found that this did not make me happy either and that all I thought about was food, whereas my present self does not think like that. I find clothes easier in some ways to find but still, there is a preponderance of unflattering shapes and materials, especially to those of us on a limited budget.
I take great pride in my appearance and try very hard to find styles that suit and flatter my shape; decent, well fitting underwear helps a great deal, but again, is often very expensive and difficult to find.
