WORD!!!! Bette, PREACH IT girl, you ain't never lie.  Love it.  Interesting though about the Burqa.  I've always though for years that this traditional clothing is perfect coverall, while still being mindful and respectful. (Take note of the chadri too). 

And didn't we all own some reallly ugly ISH!. But it fit and we wore it no matter what it looked like, just because it fit  us. I remember having to wear winter clothes in the summer and sweating like a pig because nothig fit and I could not find a thing to wear, but I wore it anyway.

You kept it real and on point.  Especially about feeling invisibible, I cannot tell you how many times I have felt (and still do feel) that very same way, no matter where I am (or where I was) on my journey, no one would take a second look at me as if I were not even standing next to people.

Wear your shorts Bette! Work your baithing suit, and bust your arms out in those tank tops don't be hot and uncomfortable, look at how far you have come.  As always you are an inspiration to me.

 Heather - 

You hit the nail on the head as per usual!  While the blog is chock-ful-o' hilarious-ness, the underlying truth be told.  Even at my weight, I still dress to cover up certain areas and accentuate others.  My legs especially...I F*CKING HATE THEM.  I'll rock the teeniest of tops but always wear pants or nothing shorter than above my knees.  

WHY?  Who gives a **** about my cheesy front of my thighs and vericose veins on my lower right calf (besides me, that is)?  I think you're right.  I need to get over it and wear what I want, when I want.

I heart your blogs thus far. You just reaffirmed why you have been an inspiration for the last 2+ years. :)

 If you're bodacious boobies could be placed on your knees, you wouldn't hate your legs. 

Who told you my boobs are on my knees?????

 Great. Just spit Vitamin Water on my keyboard.

Bahahahaha I just went and read your previous blogs, Bette!  They're awesome!  I am getting banded the end of the month, and you are an inspiration!!  I stopped hiding about 5 years ago, and let all my FAT hang out of tanks, shorts, bathing suits, etc.  I am SO PROUD of you to have reached your goal and are willing to PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE!!! It's perfect, and you SHOULD do it!!! You look great, and have come so far that you should proudly display it for everyone to admire!!  I look forward to reading more of your blogs, and gaining strength from you as I go through my banding!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!! 

Hell no...I would be rockin' KNEE corsets and **** Oh jeezus, the visual.

That's my Bette give 'em heckles! I didn't realize you were so tall, you look petite in pictures! I'm 5'8" so were a couple of tall drinks o' water. I think being tall is also like being fat, it's a double whammy.I used to be more self concious than I am now. I decided a few years ago that I'm gonna spend that little extra money and get nice clothes because I think fat comes off better when it is well dressed plus it helps you feel more confident. Plus I'm 60 and don't have to take crap from anybody anymore! Don't like my flubber, saggies and lumps well then don't look damn it. Nobody pays me to be OK'd by you world! So I dress nicely, wear makeup when I go out and make sure I have my good hairpiece on and that's all I'm doing for anybody else, well actually I do it for myself first. Yep if it's hot you're gonna see flab waving on my arms and rippling around my thighs, get over it!
