Being overweight doesn't mean that you can't look good; it just takes a little more effort. The right clothes make all the difference. That said, I can't understand some of the plus size offerings that I encountered on a recent shopping trip. Pants low enough to let it all hang out and cropped tops. According to the saleslady, these are an attempt to allow plus sized people to dress like their slimmer friends. As a plump person, let me say that I don't need to dress like my skinny friends. I'd just look ridiculous. Another thing that looks ridiculous-the rhinestones and beads that designers feel compelled to put on larger size clothes. I don't want to be a disco ball! I've gained some weight, not lost my mind!
I'm losing weight now, but don't seem to have gained any brain cells in the process. If anything, the loud annoying music at the gym has killed a few brain cells. Maybe I'll soon be crazy enough to buy the latest hideous fad.
