Plus Size Women Try on "Plus Size" Halloween costumes

Tweet

Good morning, My Lot. As I was sitting here, waiting for my friend to come pick me up for our little adventure today (Apple Orchards) - I was watching some YouTube videos and would like comment on one. Here we have Buzzfeed's take on "Plus Size Women try on Plus Sized costumes". Hey, I didn't say I was watching intellectual videos or something. C'mon. Cut me some slack. Lol. Anyway. As the video implied it was plus sized women trying on "plus sized" Halloween costumes. It interested me because the "regular" sized costumes I see in stores look tiny, like they're for kids, and the plus sized ones I see look like they're for regular to small adults. (In other words it seems like costumes are sized smaller than regular clothing.) Well I actually didn't get the point of the video. They tried on the costumes, all of which fit and some of which actually looked alright. It's the comments that made me sad. One girl had PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome - and all of a sudden we had "internet experts" coming out of the woodwork declaring that PCOS doesn't have anything to do with weight gain, and that if they only worked out more the pounds would melt away, etc... Well I happen to have PCOS myself. Some people with PCOS do not exhibit weight gain. And myself and many others do. PCOS does make it easier for some people to gain weight and harder for them to loose it. While this is not an excuse, it is a contributing factor in why myself and others with this symptom are larger folk. But the internet trolls are out in full force, passing judgement. In this world that is full of violence and hatred - is being large really the worst thing a person can be? How shallow. Hopefully the same people will remember their own words and judgments if a health condition arises where they themselves are a few pounds larger. Link to the video:
