I have a lot of struggle with clothes for the past few years. I used to be extremely skinny, maybe even bordering a tad underweight. I took an enormous leap in 3 months in 2016. It is a complete mystery as to why I gained weight. The hardest thing for me to think about is that the general public thinks that the reason most women end up gaining weight is because “They eat themselves into it.” This could not be more wrong! There is so many reasons anyone can gain weight. My weight gain was extremely unexpected and caused by medicine I had taken. I had absolutely no control over it whatsoever and it took some serious thinking about what could have possibly caused it. With all the weight I gained, I have no idea how to dress my new body. On top of that, I get so self-conscious about going to shop for clothes-from everything to bathing suits to dresses. Never in a million years would anyone who knew me would have guessed how much my body has grown bigger and it was the most heartbreaking when my wedding approached. I brought with me my closest friends, but the thought of having to walk out in a wedding dress in front of everyone almost made me want to burst into tears from feeling how unattractive I saw myself in the mirror. It is still am active struggle for me to look in the mirror and love who I am regardless of the way I look. This post warmed my heart and meant a lot for me.

I’m 6’0 and mostly legs. So that was unfortunate. Loft was the first store I found that had long pants that were actually the right length for me! More stores have full length pants again, a few seasons later, but wow was I grateful to Loft. Cropped pants + 35” inseam= not good.
