My Body Is NOT Your Problem

Me at almost 75kg.

So recently, I put on a lot of weight: or better put, I have become fuller! I know this because most of my clothes are small now that I have to get a new wardrobe. When I say most, I mean my pants (trousers: get your mind out of the gutter), skirts and certain dresses. I have always bought bigger clothes because I don’t like clingy clothes and I am the type of girl who would wear something I like for years and years until it becomes threadbare and begs to be thrown away. When I am slim, and by slim I mean my lowest weight of 62kg, my clothes are like baggy dresses (which I am happy with) and when I am at my full weight of 70kg, they are a bit snug but not so tight that all my curves (real and imagined) are out there for all to see…well, until recently: I weigh 75kg now.
