Erin McKelle has written an interesting column on Daily Life which explores some of the notions that girls who struggle with their weight have when choosing what to wear.
The thing about Erin is that she is not trying to lose weight. In fact, she loves being fat and revealing her body, and she elaborates in her column how she chooses to embrace her curves instead of hide them:
I love being fat.
Since I enjoy wearing a lot of clothing that reveals my skin and shows off my body, like crop tops, short skirts and shorts, bikinis, leggings and tight dresses, I have to deal with a lot of backlash. Because god forbid a fat woman likes the way she looks and lets the world know it.
If you’re offended by me showing my stomach or the way my thighs jiggle, you need to f*ck off. My body is my own and no one has the right to tell me what to do with it. Period.
Part of being an adult means choosing my own attire. The law only requires that I cover my nipples (don’t even get me started about that) and my genitalia; everything else is fair game. So since I haven’t started practicing public nudity yet, I’m good.
If you’re in the same mindset as Erin, and not phased about indulging in some tasty delights, then check out the Big Cheese Blue pizza from Butlers, but if you’re watching your figure, there’s always the Rotherham which cuts the carbs a fair bit.
