yike, which is worse, a breast, nicely rounded, but potentially covered in
stretch marks and veins, or a roll of fat hanging over a pair of hipsters, with a top that doesn't quite reach, which do you see more of every day? And which would you rather see? Personally when teenagers aren't at school, I see many girls walking past our house showing these rolls of fat and it is really disgusting, I wonder if they realise what they look like from behind, it honestly puts me of my food if I'm eating at the time, whereas breasts, I don't often see, but if I had the choice between the two, give me a breast any time!

I actually appreciate that girls are discovering it's ok if you aren't stick-thin and don't have a "perfect" body. If it's ok to dress a certain way for a skinny gal then it's ok to dress that way for a not-so-skinny gal. Maybe now girls will stop making themselves throw up their food despite making you lose your appetite. Marie |

Sometimes it's a matter of large girls attempting to wear the current fashions no matter what. No matter whether they can find the top in their size or not. No matter if that particular style is meant for a different body type. Sometimes when I see this, I think the shirt is really just too small for them! -Patty, mom of 1+2 |

I agree with Marie... I spent so many years (all the way through high
school, college, and the first 2 years of grad school) obsessively covering up my body because I thought my butt/thighs were too big. I wore men's shirts (yes, they were very attractive on a 4'11" female!!), big sweaters, etc., and shrunk in horror from anything remotely fitted. I definitely had a bad relationship with my body, and it was manifested in my clothes. Now, I personally am not a fan of the bared-midriff look for anyone; I think it borders on skanky. But I am *very glad* to see teenagers be confident enough to wear the little tees even if they don't have a model's body; I wish I had been that confident about my body when I was younger.

And I just don't agree, and if I were overweight I would feel hurt that my fat rolls would cause someone to lose their appetite. I have issues anyway with certain clothes being for certain body types...usually it's the nice, pretty clothes for the thin women and big ugly clothes for the bigger women. For most overweight girls, affordable clothes in their size are ugly and I don't like it. It shouldn't matter to someone else if they choose to wear a nice pretty shirt. Marie |

I was terrified to wear a two-piece swimsuit until I was in my mid-20's (and I'm only 28). I even wore a t-shirt to swim in until *after* I had children, I was so embarassed about my body because I wasn't skinny. (my normal weight is about 150lbs and I'm 5'8", but I had this idea that I should be bony to be able to show anything off) Once I had children I somehow realized curves were quite ok to have. I have heard so many people comment on a "gross" overweight girl they see wearing tight jeans, or a shorter shirt where her side rolls are visible, and it's just crushing to me. It's a *person*. If a 110 girl is allowed to wear it, so should a 200 pound girl. Marie |

"Marie" wrote in message ... . It's a *person*. If a 110 girl is allowed to wear it, so should a 200 pound girl. I agree to an extent-if it looks tasteful and classy, fine. I personally draw the line at skanky-and believe me, I see a *lot* of skanky when I'm at class. Jess |

But I guess the question is: is it skankier when she's bigger?
I also never wore a two-piece bathing suit until right before I got married. DH did *alot* to improve my body image. Em mama to Micah, 11/14/04 |
