20 QUESTIONS FOR PLUS SIZE LADIES

I got this questions from a magazine, I can’t remember which, but I just feel  I should answer them too because I am also a plus size (US 16).

Best thing? Some people say really nice things about my size…my close friend once said “you are out-of-this-planet beautiful, I love your size and how your clothes fit”.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE RUDE ABOUT YOUR SIZE?
I don’t let it get to me anymore, I just ignore them. Sometimes I just smile, so the person won’t get
the impression that I am upset.

IS IT EASY SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES YOU LIKE? WHICH ARE THE BEST STORES FOR PLUS SIZE LADIES?

Yes, but sometimes it is annoying when I see a dress I really like and it’s just a size below…and I just feel like losing weight, just to buy it.

WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU SEND TO OTHER PLUS SIZE LADIES?

Just be confident about your size…provided your size doesn’t affect your health. Feel free to express yourself…you are beautiful only if you accept that you are.
