*Huggles* From what I've seen of your piccies you don't look at all fat! I'm sorry to hear you is feeling down about yourself. :( You shouldn't! So there!
As for the Dove adverts.... I thought it was nice to see some normal shaped girls on an ad for a change. Okay, on the smaller end of normal but at least not match stick thin like you usually see. I didn't think for one moment that any of them looked fat. Curvy, yes, but curvy is gooood!! :)
On a down day, I'd probably get really defensive about folk calling other folk fat. I'd probably take it personally. Most of the time I'm fine with being fat. I know it's because of my body not working properly and not because I scoff loads of food. What other people think is of no matter. And even if I was fat because I scoffed lots of food, I'd probably be okay with that too because everything has it's consequences. If you love to eat there shouldn't be any shame in it!!! And large people can look every bit as good as thin people... if the beholder isn't fattist!!!
I'm in Leeds tomorrow for the day. Want to meet and do lunch? Will text you too just in case you don't read this any time soon...
