Glorious weather but.........

[flip_flop]

..........with the acres of flab on show it has really brought it home to me how fat a nation we seem to be becoming.

I feel hot in this weather (5.11 and 13st - BMI 25.42, so 0.42 into the overweight range), so how on earth do proper fat people feel in this weather?

It must be very very uncomfortable!

I know what you mean flip flop. Ive lost 2 and half stone over 18 months and I dont sweat now like I used to, so those who are obsese must really feel it. Even with all that weight loss, I would still never wear anything really skimpy or show my boobs or tum in public. I think its awful. I feel sorry for those `proper fat people` as you call them, that they cant just do what I have done but then we are not all perfect, we all have our vices

I don't think people of any size should wander around town in the shops with very little clothing. Some just look awful.

How appropriate is beach gear in the office? Not, IMO.

Reminds me of that ad. On the beach it's togs, off the beach it's undies.

I've just been to the local Tesco, and the amounts of exposed flesh is not nice at all! I'm obese, but don't believe in letting the population of the town see me exposed! (and I'm also trying not to be so obese as well). My mother always told me to check your outfit from the back as well as the front, which I think is sound advice.

I have just seen two, ahem, larger ladies walking down the street in Daisy Dukes and Bikini tops.

Live and let live and all that, but bloody hell, don't some of these people possess mirrors?

Don't talk about my girlfriend like that. ;-)

Well what are they supposed to do, wear thick cardies and keep covered up so as not to offend??! They are just as entitled to enjoy the sun as you and I are ...

The Waitrose delivery man said this morning that he thought I'd have been in my bikini. I explained that I didn't want to frighten the horses...............

[flip_flop]

chatbazbru - I have seen lots of people today in linen, which is nice and cool.

Surely they would feel more comforable in linen than being trussed up in shorts that are far too small and bikini tops that are asking too much of them to do the job they were designed for?

I know I'm going to get completely hammered for this, but frankly, they turn my stomach.

[chaptazbru]

I know they don't always make a pretty sight, and maybe some of them need to wear slightly bigger clothes but to be honest I feel sorry for some of them when I see their size in this heat - I know it's probably their own fault, but I'm just soft hearted I guess !!

[gness]

I`ve seen larger women,in fact a friend comes to mind,who look beautiful in loose,flowing,cool clothing.

[chaptazbru]

Dawn French always looked nice .....

Nealy crashed my car on the way home from work earlier, all these chicks letting it all hang out is very distracting.

[rowanwitch]

bright colours, big hats and lightweight cotton...
