Wasn't sure if I'd post this, since it is a bit personally, but eh. It's a doodle.
Even if you're pretty confident, like dressing up and actually feel really good, it's easy to feel really down and self-conscious about how you look, weight in particular. You put on an outfit, feel sexy in it, but meet up with friends and feel gross. Even more so if you're kinda the only one of your friends that looks that way, or at least the group you're out with. You feel a bit out of place. Especially, you might dress up to impress people, to go out, but only feel like they won't like how you look. They'll be looking at others.
Course I know none of that is true and you always look much better then you think, but knowing and feeling are totally different things.

I, too, can relate to your struggle. I've been trying to lose weight, and with a little success, but I still walk around and feel fairly insecure. Let's just say that, as a guy, there is something I should NOT have that the wind likes to reveal by pressing my shirt against me. >_< I find it really sad how society has condemned bigger people, especially women. Frankly, it makes me look at society and go "Oh, you think that anorexic chick with no form whatsoever is more attractive than this girl who actually has some meat on her bones? Society, you cray-cray! CRAY-CRAY* I SAY!" XD Little realized fact nowadays: This skinny chick trend is pretty new still only aging in at 50-60 years. Before that, for hundreds of years, actually, women who were really skinny were basically looked at the way big girls are looked at now. The attitude back then was "Dem curves!" because more body meant more wealth. And to further my point, I have a bit of an inquiry: WHY are these skin-and-bone super model chicks so revered when it's basic male instinct to seek females with wide hips and a healthy form? That instinct is there to make breeding easier, btw. Wide hips = easier child birth. I'm just glad big gals still exist. Because, if EVERY CHICK was skinny and bony, the human race would die off! I know for certain I wouldn't be trying to get with anybody. Super skinny super model type bodies really put me off. Sorry, skinny girls, I do NOT find you attractive. Well, I can't really say that...heh...I've been into a few skinny girls in my time. But their personalities outweighed this issue of mine. * excuse, excuse* lol
!!!TLDR Version!!!
Don't get down about yourself, because big IS beautiful, and if people are too flawed/ignorant to see it, that is THEIR problem. They'z cray-cray. =D*For those who don't know, "cray-cray" means crazy. I'm just hip like that B-)

I relate to this so much it is just traumatizing at times. I just want to hug you so hard right now. This doodle is so sweet and she is just gorgeous. Thick and fertile women are more appreciated these days, it's mostly just mainstream media keeping us down <3

I love this doodle, and I'm glad that you shared :) I actually feel like this very often, being very overweight and a lot of my friends have no weight issues at all. I know that most of my weight has to do with having thyroid problems, but it doesn't keep me from feeling bad about the way I look. My boyfriend tells me every day that I shouldn't feel bad, keep my chin up and smile but he doesn't have to see or feel the weight that I do. It's difficult for me to even look in the mirror sometimes and I don't have very many pictures taken of me because it is a reminder that I'm much bigger than others... I know it isn't completely my fault for being overweight but the feeling still takes control and reality just rides in the backseat sometimes, so to speak.
TL;DR: I can totally relate and you're not alone in feeling like this :) And I appreciate the picture and respect the message you were coming across even though she's beautiful no matter what! ;)
