I a m appreciating my 10-12 for years now. I understand I could obsess and fight it down to an 8 , but that is not my life now. I spent too many years not liking where I was and fighting myself .

I'm done with that mentality now . I enjoy this size. It feels right and normal to me. I have stayed here for years. I'm thinking this is where my body wants to be, and I'm agreeing with it.

No more internal struggle... Spent a lot of my life in that endless endeavor .

This is me

Coming from 336 lbs. and a size 28 dress/32 pants - the biggest end of most plus size shops, I'll just be glad to be back in the misses department and not have to shop in the women's department anymore. I'm not quite 3 months out from surgery and can't see the end of the road yet. Hell, I can't see around the bend yet.

If I'm being honest, I don't care about the numbers. I just want to be healthy and look good naked. Lol

My idea size dress was a ten now I am a 8 I use to weigh 332 pounds and I am now 165 pounds and wear a miss 10 pants now and I use to wear a size 32-36 pants trust me you will know what size you want to be by the way you look and fit in your clothes. Din focus on numbers focus on being healthy .

Size 10 is ideal for me.

I try not to look at the size but how it fits. I have iTunes with dresses anyway. Because I'm still voluptuous it is hard for me to buy a dress. When the top fits, the bottom is too big and when the bottom fits the top is too small.

I'm with Andrea.... I love how I look naked now

I've noticed as i aged so did my pants weirdest thing from 14-to now how ever old I was that's what size pants I wore.. I'm scared to get into my 30's lol I just want to look thick so if its a size 12-14-16 I'm cool with that. I do not want to be skinny what's so ever

I think I'd be thrilled in a 6 and happy in an 8. Dresses can be a challenge because of my breast size though, so I'll probably have to settle at a 10.

I have no clue what my ideal dress size would be. Last time I was under 200 lbs I was a young teen. I'm tall and big-boned so I'm not even sure what would be realistic for me.... I was just realizing today I have no clue what my target weight should be. I'll have to ask my nutritionist.

Right now any dress size that is not obese would make me thrilled
