Advice for PLus Size brides

[piyo21]

i saw mei hao 99 catering, their menu looks good got crispy yam ring(my fav),etc.But nv tried b4, dunno how gd is their food?

 

[jengcc]

ling, my neighbour used meihao for her son's bday.. not bad n quite economy.

 

[jazzy_chimes]

I've also tried meihao 99's food on several occasions, got a few friends and colleagues who used them for their children's full-month, the food's pretty normal I would say.

[royal]

Taime81,

Yes, PS was tiring..especially when they keep asking u to smile... but it was fun! Weather was so hot and we perspire badly..but really sweet sweat lor.. fun lah overall..it's an experience!

 

[taime81]

Hi Ling, this is the one Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel. I'm not sure if it is available in local pharmacy cause i saw a lot of people order thru a spree from amazon and i order mine from drugstore and i try it and i love it.
http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=139254&catid=26832

I've order 4 pc for myself recently, if you wanna, i can let go 1 pc for you to try when my parcel arrive in singapore.

Hi royal, i hate to go under sun. LOL. Sweat and hot will make feel really restless and tired man. Charm liao... My photoshoot suppose to be ard apr n may but hubby going for reservist in early may so will need to postpone my photoshoot. Think he will be damn tanned after reservist.

 

[missyling]

charmaine, thanks. i will get it from drugstore then. Need to get some other stuffs

 

[taime81]

OK sure Ling, you can try their aleo vera gel too. A lot cheaper than sg too. I order their aleo vera gel on regular basis. Using it long term for my leg. GNC is good but more pricy cost it is small tube, i using fruit of the tree for my leg, GNC for face. LOL...

 

[royal]

Charmaine,

No worries lah.. at most u go to those pubs or indoor for PS..no sweat..cooling too!

 

[missyling]

[mirakel]

i'm not a bride2b. i'm already married for 1 yr plus. i am definately plus size. 1.68m and 91 kg....

just wanna share my woes..any listening ear?

 

[royal]

Mira& Kel,

Sure..Mira, u can voice your woes here..It's a free forrum..

 

[mirakel]

i hate being my size..my MIL kept on comparing me to my new SIL who is so tiny, very pretty and perfect...
MIL kept on saying how slim she is..and that made me so furiosly mad and so upset.
i cried at night. i get so jealous of my SIL. she's really slim with 25" waist and her clothes all look so nice on her. she's so sexy..everything is so tight-fitting. when my hubby look at her, i can get so worked up. i dont want my hubby to admire/look at her. i feel so inferior to her. i am so scared, yesterday i caught hubby looking at her at the dinner table. i got so upset.. i suddenly feel that i am not able to give my hubby the nice slim body that all men desire

 

[royal]

Sorry to say that.. he married u for who you are and how you looked like isn't? Have a talk with him and see if he can offer some encouragements to you.
Remember something..Being big is not being inferior and loses out to the skinny n sexy!
If you have confidence, what ever you wear will be nice.. because confidence is a piece of clothe that fits everyone..the Fat, the thin, the pretty and the ugly!
I am also fat.. a size 20, used to think inferior, until I decided one day ... so what being fat! at least, it is "me".. there is no one else that looks like me! I am unique!

Don't try comparing with your SIL..you can never be satisfied comparing yourself with others..besides, there is no perfect person..
Next time, if you MIL comment on you again, just either tell her to stop comparing or just simple keep quiet and walk away..I think she shld get the hint.

Be happy ok....remember!! Being big is not being inferior!!

These days, many places sell plus size clothes.. just buy something nice for yourself and wear them happily..

BTW, Mira, how old are you? you seems tall @ 168cm..90Kg shld looked too big on you right?

 

[piyo21]

Mira& Kel,

There is nothing wrong with Big Size.
My sis-in law is also skinny type whereas i'm big size. So no need to feel inferior.

Just ignore what yr mil say. Like what royal say just walk away when she mention. I think she will get the hint.

A skinny gal wouldnt skinny forever. Maybe after she give birth will put on weight leh.

Think possible.

 

[blurrz]

my bf also cannot stand me being big size... but then, there is nothing wrong for being big size... so tink positively ba... have a good talk with ya hubbie... cos i tink its not rite for him to treat u like tat...
anyway, i am dieting rite now! i wanna look slim on my rom which is next year feb! haiz...

 

[missyling]

i also big size.. size 20 oso .. somemore i am short lo.. but so what... you know my mil will give that kind of comment like: AIYO ling, how come everytime i see you, you seem fatter! arghz... i dun wan her to affect me... if its others.. i will tell her straight in the face.. i am fat but i am not ugly.. i can be fat.. i olso can be thin.. but can u... SHUT up... lol.. i told that to someone who made fun of me..

i am getting rom next week... and i didn't managed to lost much weight though i said i want to...

just be happy... life is too short to be bother with those kind of people and their stupid comments...
