    I hate going clothes shopping, as different stores have different interpretation of what each sizer is.
    I can be a 14 in one, a 16 in another.
    the mirrors also don't flatter. I swear I could be a supermodel, and I'd still look bad in those places.

    You can try shopping on line but I think you should get over it, no one cares what size you wear. Not trying to be mean but seriously no one will be watching you or paying attention to the size you pick out.

    it's not something i have a problem with. i am proud of every pound on my body, so i don't compare it to others and i find shops that i know will carry my size. you are looking at this in terms of not being able to find clothes (most major department stores have plus sizes, including old navy, eddie bauer, nordstrom, etc, in addition to lane bryant, ashley stewart). the real issue is that you need to be comfortable about your body whatever it looks like, or start doing something constructive to change it. good luck.

    Hello. My heart goes out to you. I will however point out that a size 18 -20 Australian is not that large…well what i would consider morbidly obese.

    I used to be a size 24(ish Australian) before i was finally fed up enough to do something about it. Not for anyone but myself. The longing to wear nice clothes, being healthy and comfortable in my own skin was most important to me. I did this one year ago. I am now a size 12. I work out and consider myself in the best shape of my life.

    Ultimately, the person you need to concentrate on is yourself. Don't worry about what other people think, if you don't like you – no one else can…so it is YOU that must change what you don't like or accept yourself as you are. I am sure that because of your uncomfortable outlook on your body image, it reflects upon how you behave. Your hubby would rather you be confident and happy with yourself. Work on this and the rest will follow. You are the only person who can change it.

    Good luck. Inspiration is everywhere, buy a dress you want to fit into and hang it somewhere obvious. Look at it everyday and see yourself in it, having a romantic dinner with hubby. Eat and excersise the right way and before you know it, you will be at the restaurant, with your hubby and you feeling like a million dollars.

    You may not want my answer, I had the same feelings but the opposite problem. I used to be really sick, and I lost a lot of weight. Somedays I was afraid to walk down the street because I looked like a crack whore. I thought a cop would try to arrest me. (lol…that was pretty stupid… but then again not really, considering my neighborhood.)
    What I hated most were all the people who were calling me anorexic and balimic, when I was niether. I never have been. I was just sick, and weight loss was a side effect. I felt as ashamed as you feel now, especially knowing I couldn't do anything about it. I've gotten better since, and I'm finally back to a normal weight.
    If your husband loves you, and you're healthy then you have more then I could have wished for. You should know you're beautiful, and you should work on realizing that first.
    That should be your first priority. Losing weight comes next, and you only take that step if your health is at risk or its what you want to do.
    You'll only have the will and motivation to lose the weight if you've come to realize you're doing it for yourself, and not because of other people.
    I don't know how to make you believe you're beautiful, thats something you need to find out for yourself.
    I hope somebody can give you the answer your looking for, mine might not have been very helpful.

    No, I'm not embarrassed. I'm a shopaholic, and nothing will stop me, least of all a nosy fellow shopper or nasty salesperson.
    I've been as big as a size 20 and now I'm a size 12, and I have never let anyone stop me from picking things out, trying them on and buying them. It really is the other person's problem – imagine being so lame that you have to focus on other people's shopping habits! I know I'm too busy checking stuff out to do that when I shop.

    Be proud and go and spend your money how and where you want. Don't let others stop you!

    You know what I have honestly come to realise (and this isn't just to make you feel good it is truth)…no matter what a woman looks like it is her "spunk", demeanor, and/or attitude that people draw their conclusions from…seriously…think about it…baby big is IN….get on board
