Anyhoo,
I'm currently sitting with The Boy watching the finale of The Biggest Loser. Rarely would I be so inspired by a TV Show to sit here and blog about it (I mean, Friends isn't on anymore) but this is one reality show that I feel like I enjoy for all the right reasons.
I'm kind of obsessed watching this show. Watching normal, beautiful people fight to lose their weight is always inspiring - no matter what you weigh.
I've never been the 'fat' girl and I think I weighed negative numbers through much of my youth, however now at age 25- I truly find that I have to work hard to keep my body in check - a need I understand and I make the necessary effort ... but sometimes it comes with a few cuss words.



That's why this show inspires me. 20 out of 7 days a week I try to find reasons to not go to the gym, 95% of the time I lose that fight with myself and head on in to workout. But 5% of the time, I don't go. And I regret it later... because exercise isn't just about weight loss- it improves your mind, body & soul.
(Rebecca LEFT: before, Rebecca RIGHT: after.)
Thus, when I see people who have a long, long, long journey ahead of them pushing themselves physically... my heart pitter patters. So proud of them!
With that said... I noted during the finale how many of the newly-trimmed gals said that since they lost weight:
"This was the first time I wore a dress in X amount of years!!"What is with these girls!?!? On my fat days, I'd much rather wear a dress than try to pry jeans over the skyscrapers I call my legs.
So in honor of my Biggest Loser heroes... with much ado I present a few super-flattering-"fat day"-dresses - trust me! You don't have to go years in jeans/black pants because you feel fat!!!


So when feeling fat and looking at your sweats... think of 2 things:
1. Empire Waist Dress
2. Wrap dress
Bada-bing, bada boom!
Have a great night :)

Don't you hate it when work gets in the way of blogging!!!!
I love the biggest loser too, we get an Aussie version.
And I agree, dresses are definately the way to go if having a fattie day - they are so much more forgiving.
Nice frocks featured :-)
You got it right... empire dress for fat days is the ultimate solution.
Great post! Baby doll dresses always work for me on my fat days lol:)
Hello you wonderful girl, how's going?
I hope you're doing great!
What can I say, every time I read your posts, it makes me smile, you put a good energy into your words, hehe:)
Good advices, I love dresses on or out the fat days...
Love,
Gia.
I'm the only person I know who looks terrible in wrap dresses. I keep trying them and they keep failing!
great post!! this was awesome I had never though of dresses before for fat days..lol I'm busting out my "Fat dresses" out on those not so cute days!
i love the biggest loser! its great seeing how well they do over the period of the show xxx
I totally watched that last night too!
So inspiring!
Cute Blog!
I also live in Portland, well Beaverton!
i love wrap dress...but not on me. heck no!
because i'm super short, i've got a weird build and the wrap only adds to that weirdness. but i'm sure you'd look hot...espesh with those "skyscraper" legs of yours ;)
I guess the battle of the bulge in not only for the ladies, men have the same porblem, and I can relate to your problem of the 5%. I had to smile when I read that. My wife and I gym together, and that is a huge help.
I used to play squash, but injuries to my knees have ended that and I miss it terribly. It is the quickest way to loose pounds...
Thanks for visiting and commenting, it was great to hear from you.
So when can I expect your pics... ? :-) Just checking...

ohhh I like that last little number ;)
Love that show too! Didn't get a chance to catch the finale though :*( .. She looks great!
Ohmigosh I so agree with what you said about exercise. Honestly, when I slack off and don't work out I feel so guilty later on, and it totally throws off my spirit, mind, and soul. Exercise is definitely not only beneficial for the body! :)
Oh - I love that black sparkly dress. Really cute.
And - are you ready for Biggest Loser Couples??? Yay!
haha we are twins in our post. love it. Cute tips!
Hey,
thank you soo much for your wonderful comment.
I so agree, The biggest Loser is just such an impressing show. I get always so stunned when they come out on stage in the finale. Unbelievable!
Great post... I think everyone knows what you're talking about :)

I love the Macys.com dress! Great post!
Girl, I am so with you! Dresses, skirts, tunics....where would I be without them??? How they hide the belly and touching thighs makes me giddy. =)
I never wear dresses. I have no idea why, but you may have just persuaded me to get one for one of our Christmas parties! I'll keep you posted if I find something! LOVE the wrap (if I was that skinny!)
I love a good empire waist when I'm pmsing. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
Work and life really get in the way of blogging don't they? My hubby and I watch the Biggest Loser together. I love that show. Good point about the dresses...if it is a good style (the right style) it can do wonders!
