Weigh Cool!

The MuuMuu is a NO-NO!  

It seems like every time I gain a pound my clothes get more tent-like.  If I'm not feeling thin, I think that everyone can see that bucket of chicken on my thighs and I need to cover it up with the largest clothing I can find.  And you know what that screams to everyone?  "I'm FAT and STUPID because I think I'm hiding it!"  And we all know that you are NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS!

Embrace what you have TODAY.  Don't cover it up until you think it's what everyone wants to see.  Like vibrant colors?  Go for it!  Want to wear cute sundresses?  DO IT!  There are plenty of styles out there waiting on you.  Don't hide yourself under a bushel - let your light shine!  Of course it is important to be physically healthy - but be happy too.  And being happy doesn't have to 'WAIT' until you are the perfect 'WEIGHT'.  You can start enjoying your new freedom now!!

Check out the article I found on some clothing that looks good on every body shape.  (Sorry guys!)  See if you can add a few of these pieces into your wardrobe during your transformation from caterpillar to butterfly!

Styles that Flatter Every Body

There are some fashion styles that complement many different body shapes. If you're looking for easy choices, try these:

• Wrap shirt: The typical wrap shirt has a V-neck, which is flattering to just about any woman. The side tie feature, especially if it includes some ruching, creates a waistline for women who don't have much of one.
• Wrap dress: Like the wrap shirt, the wrap dress creates a feminine silhouette. If you're very slim, it can create curves, but for plus size women, this same dress style flows away from the body's lower half, deemphasizing hips and thighs. This is an all-around flattering dress and an easy go-to item for those mornings you're in a hurry and need to choose your outfit quickly.
• V-neck tops: Why is the V-neck so flattering? The vertical visual interest this neckline creates draws the eyes up and down, making you appear taller and slimmer. It won't always be possible to wear V-necks (especially in the winter for women who live in cold climates), but for petite and plus size women, it can make a big difference in your overall appearance.
