Health Benefits Of A Big Butt In Plus Size Clothing

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Who knew the day would come when having a big butt wouldnt be such a negative body issue? Not only is having a big butt eye candy but studies show it is actually a positive health attribute.

A study was done at Harvard University where fat from the butt was injected into the mices stomach later showing that the mice body weight and overall fat mass decreased. Fat that is wrapped around organs known as visceral fat is the fat that we should be trying to get rid of because it causes bad health.

This good fat that is found around the butt is known as subcutaneous fat which produces hormones that are known to boost a persons metabolism. Because the fat is lying underneath the skin of the buttocks a good result is produced.

Amongst lowering body fat having extra fat in the butt can help fight against heart disease. Fat under the skin, especially on the buttocks, seems to actually decrease the chances of getting type two diabetes.

So the next time someone mentions how big your butt looks in your plus size clothing smile and say thanks. Little do they know but that big butt is decreasing the levels of bad cholesterol and increasing the levels of good cholesterol in your body. It is finally good news for all of us pear shaped, hour glass, curvaceous women.

Plus Size Clothing Tricks

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Just because we wear plus size clothing does not mean we cant look good in it. There are many ways to wear clothing that is flattering to the full figured woman. First it is very important to know what body shape you have. Everything you wear should be based off of the type of body you have, you should be able to properly place clothes and accessories on your body. Once you have this down it will be easy to give your body the hourglass figure that is known to be the best eye candy to the human eye.

Dress with dark colors. Dark colored clothes from head to toe make for a slimmer figure. To get rid of the boring look of all black top your outfit off with a bright colored accessory.
Dress in clean lined clothing. Clothing with too many details visually adds pounds to your figure.
Dress in vertical detailed clothing. Clothing with vertical pleats and strips, zip fronts and cable patterns visually subtract pounds from your figure.
Dress in accessories to your size. Accessories should be big, like wide belts, thick jewelry and big bags.
Dress in long scarves. This winter season invest in scarves that will hang. The dangling look vertically makes you appear longer.
Dress in a body shaper. Wearing a body shaper underneath your clothing will smooth out any unwanted bumpy areas. Body shapers were not just made for plus size women; even a size two model will wear a shaper if needed. Its a quick fix for those little problem areas.

Knowing what shape your body falls into means you can pick the best clothing to flatter your figure. No matter what size you are, choosing the wrong clothes can ALWAYS make you appear bigger.

Lingerie In Women's Plus Sizes

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

When it comes to sexy lingerie many of us are at a disadvantage. It seems like all lingerie was made just to look good on models, which only makes up like 1% of us. Its even worse for those of us that wear women's plus sizes. Has being considered plus size stopped us from revealing our sexy side? Although we may believe guys only find the girl on the cover sexy that is surprisingly untrue. Guys love curves and most of all guys love confidence. Guys know how self conscience girls are so when a woman takes charge and bares all its a major turn on. It takes confidence to go against the norm of what society thinks is sexy. Maybe its time to step out of the comfort zone and make your own heat during this cold season. I know just the place for you to find an outfit that shows off those sexy curves, http://www.alwaysforme.com/lingerie.html and best of all there is a LINGERIE SALE.

Plus Size Clothing In Magazines

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Having confidence can get us through some of lifes toughest moments. As a plus woman you've probably spent time focused on your self-esteem and getting the confidence to overcome obstacles. It isnt easy wearing plus size clothing in a world fixated on the size two models that graze the runways and magazine pages. Every time I pick up a magazine it never fails that I end up feeling horrible about myself. Every magazine is a constant reminder of what society says a woman should look like and that is never a plus size woman. It wasnt until last night that I actually got a confidence booster from a magazine. The February issue of Town & Country is a special issue titled, Wonder Women. The entire magazine if full of woman from all social aspects of life. It wasnt like every other magazine profiling woman by size and physical appearance. After reading the magazine I was reminded that behind every exterior, no matter the size, is the life of a woman with the struggles, goals and demands of life just like every one of us. So the next time I flip through a magazine and cringe with envy, Im going to remember that behind that size two body is a real woman.

Plus Size Clothing Can Help Reduce Menstraul Pains

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

As a teenager I always thought it was weird when girls cried about cramps and menstrual pains. I could never relate to any of my friends because my menstruation was always a breeze. Lasting only a few days I never had mood swings or pains making it hardly even noticeable. It wasnt until last month that I experience the intense pains of a menstrual cycle. Not only did it hurt to stand up but I couldnt even get out of bed. To make things worse, I had no idea how to get rid of the pain. It was a dreadful and it lasted for what seemed like forever. Not knowing how to deal with the pain I called my sister crying because I knew she could help me through this situation. I cant guarantee that these tips will completely rid you of pain but it may help you cope with many menstrual pains.

Drink plenty of fluids; because of the high loss of blood during your cycle staying hydrated is important.
A high intake of calcium, vitamin D and magnesium will help your muscles function properly, relieving cramps.
Put heat on the areas with pain; try a spa, warm bath, heating pads and even a hot rag.
Exercises such as walking and yoga help stretch the muscles, also relieving cramps.
Fight the salty cravings to avoid bloating.
Lastly, wear comfortable plus size clothing that will give your abdomen room to breathe.

At Home Bra Fittings For Women's Plus Sizes

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

With the advancements clothing women's plus sizes you would think that someone would come out with a great plus size bra. As a plus size woman I know how hard it is to find a perfect bra. Every time I have been measured for a bra I am always given a different size. Could it be the extra curves on my body that is throwing things off? A bra is a very important factor in a womans daily wardrobe. Without the support of a bra come pains and discomforts for many women. It isnt just the design of the bra that matters but the fit. If you are wearing the wrong bra size you might as well be wearing nothing at all. It is very important for women, especially women with large breast to wear a bra that supports the sufficiently. I found an at home bra fitting that works great. All you need is a mirror and soft tape measurement. Since the girls at the mall cant seem to get it right maybe its time you take matters into your own hands just make sure to follow the directions carefully.

Measure under your breasts (a).

If the number you get is under 33" then add four or five inches to give yourself an EVEN number.

ex. if you measured 31, add 5 inches to make 36. This number gives you your band size.

Next measure above your breast but still under your arms (b).

You might have to include the flesh at the top of your breasts to keep the line horizontal.

Measure your full breast (c).
Subtract the under arm bust total from the full breast total (c-b) and you will have your cup size.

Wasnt that easy? With that done just see where you fall in the list below to determine your cup size.

1" - A
2" - B
3" - C
4" - D
5" - E or DD
6" - F or DDD or EE
7" - G or FF or EEE

Stay Healthy In Your Plus Size Women's Clothing

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Last night an old episode of The Biggest Loser aired. The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now? is actually one of my favorite episodes. The reality show really struck home. Every season I sat in my plus size clothing and watched the lives of people that I could relate to. Watching them was like watching someone else walk in my shoes. The show not only helped its characters succeed but many of the viewers watching too. I don't think the people on the show realized how much one decision in their lives would affect thousands of people. It is a lot easier to stay motivated when you have the support of someone that you are able to relate to.

Seeing how hard they worked to loose the inches really opened up my eyes on the importance of life and that is to live it. It is impossible to live life to the fullest when all you have to worry about is your health. Everyone has a different story, some happy while others not so much. But there is never a story that gives reason to kill your body early because of the substances you feed it. Our bodies are our temples, and thats exactly how we should treat them. I know its not easy to resist the cup cakes, chips, pizza etc. but its all about discipline.

Statistics show that the United States of America is the fattest country in the world! There is nothing wrong with being thick or the term everyone loves using fat. There is however, something wrong with being a gluten and being unhealthy. Putting harmful toxins into your body can cause for many sicknesses. Sicknesses such as high blood pressure, clogged arteries, heart diseases and even bad skin. Being obese can affect you physically and for some even mentally. We've seen the people on The Biggest Loser rid themselves of hundreds of pounds and maybe it is time we all do the same.

After watching this episode I couldnt help but be inspired, inspired not to just be thin but to be healthy. This episode was not only the best but my favorite. After watching them go through the vigorous process of losing weight it was nice to be able to see how they are doing after the show. Their stories are models for all us, that we can be healthier, all it takes is the motivation, the discipline, and the drive. I am looking forward to starting a new workout regime and diet, and aim to look an feel as good as the contestants on this show.

How Your Plus Size Women's Clothing Size Affects Your Salary

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0700

There is discrimination based on weight, height, age and over all attractiveness. Weve all seen it and we know it exist. It is the exact same in the workplace. It seems that if you do not fall under the pretty category you lose value

Sure, it might be human nature to always go for the pretty one but has it really gotten to the point that employers discriminate by attractiveness. Could it be that the plus size clothing I wear has caused me job positions and maybe even a raise? Although there should not be this type of bias the truth is that it is there. In the article, http://jobs.aol.com/articles/ 2009/12/16/think-looks-dont- matter-think-again Laura Sinberg talks about a scientific study that actually proved this to be right:

· white females that put on an additional 64 pounds, her wages drop 9%.

· the obese see a wage loss of 12%.

· a woman who is 5 feet 7 inches tall--well above the national female average of 5 feet, 3.5 inches--will make $5,250 more over the course of a year than a female co-worker standing 5 feet 2 inches.

Should anything really be "acceptable" or "unacceptable"? That is like saying it is totally unacceptable to like a house for anything other than its value. The qualities of a person dont come attached with work ethics. A person attaches ethics to physical qualities. So, of course a person that has both attributes will be favored. It shows how much control they have when they can keep their physical appearance on check as well as their intellect.
