Not covering oneself

United States
September 4, 2012 9:01pm CST
Oh, my goodness! I saw a picture on FB today of an overweight women wearing a spongebob outfit! Why do people of that age and weight wear such inappropriate clothing? Don't get me wrong, I'm not skinny by any means but I don't let my butt cheeks or midriff show when I go out in public. I also know that they have nice clothing in the Women's section of stores. So what is the point of showing off your body if you're very overweight? I hope I don't make any one made, but like I said I'm not skinny and I definitely wear clothes to cover my fat!

I am totally with you on this one. I try to cover it up. Don't they realize that others don't want to see their fat? And they surely must know that there is appropriate clothes out there as many overweight women dress fantastically!

Went into a store the other day, and not only did their sign say "No shirt, no shoes,no service" they also put "No pants". Thought it was a joke, but the cashier told someone that some lady came in with just a t-shirt and shoes and a man that came in with his boxer briefs,shirt and shoes. So apparently anything goes in the fashion department when you're out in public.

i know what you mean. we all see these unmodest people every noe and then. there should be a law. im also over weight these days and i dont try to wear things that dont cover. when you see that you just wonder if someone is all there. or think they must be mentally challenged

Or maybe they're proud of their bodies? I'm proud of my body when it's covered up! lol

i see women like that all the time. i find that here where i live in Canada when it gets hot in the summer, women who shouldn't be wearing skin tight or tank tops or short anything do wear them and i wonder to myself, did you look in the mirror today?

It must have been a wal-mart picture. I'm like u why wear clothing like that?? I always heard if u had it flaunt it but don't think it meant people like this.

That is really a bizarre thing to do. That would be an insult in a fashion industry, they can wear appropriate for their size.

i think it's publicity, plain and simple publicity, some people deliberately do inappropriate things to catch the attention of others...

she probably wants to get attention and bulging bellies in a ridiculous suit will definitely do the trick
