Obese people of Reddit, what is something non-obese people don’t understand, or can’t understand?
A doctor once asked if I worked in a cake shop. I was a UK14.
I was looking at plus size wedding dresses online recently, and one company had an FAQ at the bottom of the page. One question was 'What size is considered a plus size bride?'
The answer was UK size 14 and up. My jaw dropped. When I was a size 14 I was slim and my BMI was perfect.
I'm a US 14. Not sure the difference, and ofc that kind of varies wildly here based on the brand - sometimes I'm actually a 12, sometimes I've got to go up to a 16, it's wild.
Anyway, I'm 5'7 and 155 lbs. I just have a huge ass. I wear M or S shirts and B cup bras, above the hips I'm slender af (and flat as a board lol). But because of my cake I'm sometimes forced into the plus sized section for jeans depending on how they fit. It's dumb.
And why tf are low rider jeans coming back?? Those DO NOT fit my buns, they become only-covers-half-your-ass riders. And crop tops in that ugly popcorn fabric! I hated 2004 fashion, why is it cool again?? What's next, frosted tips?!
UK size numbers are two sizes higher, so a UK 14 is a US 10, UK 16 is a US 12, etc.
