Is it normal to not wear what i want to wear only because i'm

not at the weight I want to be at?

I'd love to wear dresses and skirts and shorts, but because I'm not super slim yet like 120 pounds, I don't let myself wear any of it as I fear I'd look gross. Is it normal?

    As long as the clothing fits on you and you don't look like a 10 lb. salami in a 5 lb. bag, wear whatever you want! Just wear your real size!

    120 pounds is actually the ideal weight to be in for dresses and skirts.

    First off, I'm around 120 and I feel really fat, so the number doesn't necessarily correlate to how thin you actually look. But that's totally normal. I used to be bigger & I never wore anything that went above my knee.

    i used to do this, when i was chunky i would only wear t shirts and shorts and jeans and hoodies. now that im at 108 i wear whatever i want, i just feel more comfortable now.

    I know exactly how you feel! The only time I've ever been comfortable wearing nice clothes like that is when I was underweight!

  • I have the same problem, but sometimes you just have to wear what you want to make YOU feel good.

    I believe it is that you just aren't confident and have low self esteem. i have tge same issue. i used to be really fat, then lost about 15 pounds, but i'm still now comfortable wearing shirts. i always have to wear a sweater over my shirts.

    Soon, however, i hope i put off the weight because i've lost about 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks or so. once it is all off, i can truly feel comfortable with my body and wear whatever.

    i think you should try to diet and excercise to lose weight
