If you have been discribed as "willowy" by others, it sounds like you have a very different self-image than what others see.  "Willowy" usually means exactly what it implies, tall, slender, long limbs.  I'm not sure how old you are but if you are in your early teens, chances are you haven't gotten used to your newly developed body.  I remember how painful it was for me, especially graduating from a training bra to a real one.  I was so self conscious of how I "stuck out" where I used to be flat.  Don't let yourself be led astray by diet and exercise plans that promise to change the way you look drastically.  If you are self conscious of your bust, there are minimizing bras that support without pushing everything up and out.  If you are like me, I can't find clothes long enough in the sleeves or pant lengths.  Todays styles are body clinging, form fitting, which, if you are self conscious, will make you feel worse.  Find a friend, or someone you trust completely, and go on a clothes trying on spree.  Find a style that you like and suits you.  Go into stores that are  normally not your style, or price range and HAVE FUN WITH IT.  It costs nothing to shop and try on clothes, the decision to buy is up to you.  This will give you a chance to check out new styles you may not have conisdered, and give you ideas for dfferent styles.  Tall Girl (here in Canada) is great for taller women, better proportioned all over.  Who knows, maybe you'll discover a love for sewing and make your own clothes.  I'm not suggesting you don't exercise, exercise is an important part of daily life.  Do it.  But please be gentle on yourself, we are always our own worst critics.  God made you beautiful just the way you are.  Look in the mirror every day and find one thing to complement yourself on.  Record those observations every day, and when you feel especially down, go back and read all those wonderful things about yourself.  You are more wonderful than you may know.  Believe that, OK?!

You didn't say whether or not you work out.  With proper diet and exercise, you can keep the weight off.  I started working out consistently and making better food choices and I've lost 15 lbs. and kept it off.  You could simply start working out by walking and then maybe getting an exercise video.  I have several that I do and I love them all.  Tae-Bo and Carmen Electra Striptease have worked for me.  I will never get back to my 112 lb. weight with my 5'7" height but I can be satisfied that, at 130lbs., I'm doing what's right for me and my body hasn't been this in shape for years.  I wouldn't recommend wearing a girdle though.  Try working out if you don't already.  You may grow to love it as much as I do.  Take care and good luck!

If you must, which is not recommended - try legs or inner thigh. People generally don't look there. If you wear shorts often (in the winter?) I'd recommend the stomach area. Be careful and peace out.

I'm thick and i've never had a problem. My thighs touch and i haven't seen i size six since i bought pants for my son. But that's my hang-up. My fiance loves me and he tells me everyday that i'm beautiful. You have to trust that the man that loves you the most is going to love you no matter what size pants you are. And it sounds so cliche, but anyone that makes you question yourself isn't worth your time.

Well,\nI am pregnant, so it was a challenge to find one but,\nAfter looking for months, i had finally decided on this amazing little knee length brown dress accented with cream ribbons, and brown ballet flats with little cream bows on them. However, when i got to Italy i put my dress on and realised that i had gained more in my bust than i expected to! so i had to get it altered but, all the places couldnt fix it in enough time! so, finally i found this little old italian grandmother with 14 grandchildren. She, didnt understand me, i guess, so, she took it in, instead of allowing for more room! i immediatly rushed out to find something else, but no where had anything that would fit my 5 month pregnant body.  i was devastated, and didnt know what to do, until i got a call from kelly preston who said that she would have john fly a few of her pregancy gowns down to help me out. They got there just in time, and i settled on a crimson and white just-below-the-knee one she wore to a relative's wedding when she was pregnant with her son.  Thank goodness she was there, i dont know what i would have done.

I'm a big lady too. I wear Catherine's Plus Sizes Clothing. They carry all sorts of styles and have reasonable prices. If you don't live near one of these stores, then have you tried looking on the internet for plus size clothes?  Just because we're big doesn't mean we have to dress in moo-moos.

I think you just needed to vent a little! You should be proud of how you look no matter what size you are. As long as you're healthy and happy, that is all that matters. Don't worry about what other people think.

~That is seriously aweful!!!  Is there any way you can request something else you can wear instead?  I feel for you.  The only thing I can suggest is that you just wear pants until you serve the sentence.  Good luck.~

what ever you feel comfortable wearing the most \ni being a m2f transsexual whore female shorts and tops around my friends for a while then after a little while i started to let it eing more of a female dress such as a skirt and then later a dress \ndepending on your age it we depend on what you wear look at females around you and your age and copy them to a degree \nthen find your own style after you are comfortable with what you look like and what others feel about you\ngood luck coming out to your family can be hard but it is worth doing it to know where they stand

Practice, practice, practice.  I understand how you feel, I started wearing girls clothes and high heels at 9yrs old. It took me a few months to learn to walk in heels.  I would wear heels any chance I had and still do.  Don't let anyone get you down for feeling good and if you keep on dressing try to look as feminie as possible. One should always try to respect the women we want to emulate by doing our best not to look trashy. Women deserve the utmost respect for they are beautiful just like we want to be.

thats a trick question dudes.. be careful.. \n\nthe right answer is .. i thnk you're perfect now.\n\nwell clothes manufacturers sizing differs \nvastly..  try on clothes.. if it doesnt fit\ngo to the next bigger size.. its no mystery.\ntry a different brand with a different cut. . \n\nnot all jeans fit me the same.. when i find \nsum that do i stick with that label. .etc..\n\ni like women who are petite 5'2" to 5'6"\nand not real thin or real fat. a lil tummy is okay. \nso is a lil junk.. but not loads.. just fit

I suppose it all depends on whether you want to LOOK small or actually BE small.  You could try looking for a dress that is suited to your body type, and will give the illusion of being smaller.\n\nOr you could start working out, but remember, it's not healthy to lose too much weight in a small amount of time, and since you only have a month or so, I'd say focus on picking a flattering dress.

I honestly don't know how much a whole new wardrobe would cost you, and I'm not sure what you consider "prep", and I'm also not sure that changing the way you dress could change the level of confidence that you have.  However, I am sure that you should be confident and happy with yourself just the way you are.  God made you the way you are because you have a purpose.  \n\nI have been where you are now.  It didn't help me at all to change myself, it was my outlook that needed to change.  Not having self-confidence is a problem that many people- in all walks of life and at all ages- go through.  This too, shall pass.  \n\nDon't waste your hard earned money on clothes.  Use it on something worthwhile.  Be proud of who you are.  There is only one of you, and there will only ever be one of you.  Accept yourself as who you are and others will too.\n\nRemember, something a teacher told me a long time ago when I was having a hard time fitting in with the other kids in my class - No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -- Eleanor Roosevelt.\n\nI realize this is probably not the answer you were looking for, but I hope you do consider what I am saying.  \n\nGood luck!

Hollister has a good selection of jeans in that size, however, for slacks or something a little more dressy, maybe you could try Ann Taylor.  I'm a tiny thing, also, and I've had very good luck with Ann Taylor clothing.

Look child.  F that.  Stop trying to be a stick.  You did not gain weight over night and you will not loose it over night.  It will probably take you 3 times and long to loose it as it did to gain it.  I know.  I used to be super skinny, and I an now like a size 14/16.  I would love to loose 40-50 pounds and be a size 8, but I must learn to love myself no matter what weight I am.  I have lost and gained over the years, but I have learned from all success and failure.  You will derail your efforts if you stop eating or start throwing up.  Not only will you loose fat, but you will loose muscle.  You need to build up your muscle first by doing some resistance training so that you will burn more fat while you are at rest.  You may also need to try a diet program like weight watchers or myonlinefooddiary.com.  Remember we gain and loose sometimes because of stress or depression.  You need to heal your inside first before you focus on your outside.  Once you love yourself being big, you will see how many other people love big women too.  Be good, and think about it please.
