I am completely new to your blog and just read this post (I know, I know — only behind the times by two years). Thank you so much for writing it because, as a woman who similarly puts on weight just glancing at a doughnut and who also yearns for everything stylish, it helps so much with my own weight goals to know that there are other ladies in the same boat as me. It is easy to assume that all the ladies in fashion are naturally stick-like and therefore bless, so this post is a complete breath of fresh air. Thank you, so much (and congratulations!). xx

I am also an apple with a large cup size and totally empathize with how you feel. Even at my thinnest (110 pounds on a 5’4 inch frame), I could never fit into the fashionable tops in stores. Now, I have just had a child and am breast feeding, so you can imagine how miserable my body image is currently

Hello LLG,

I have just (sorry!) discovered your blog and wanted to say firstly how fab it looks and secondly how much I’ve enjoyed my first read.

In addition, hugely admirable to have shifted the couple of extra pounds — you look fab. Though as you say yourself it was when you were pouring all your energies into LLG blog that you gained the weight…so whilst you didn’t want to upscale in size you did get something amazing out of it. Every cloud and all that… xo

Thank-you for sharing. I wonder when the fashion industry will wise up to people with bloating/gastric issues/apple shapes. Please can you advise on what styles to veer towards for apple shapes with a bust? I’m finding most styles seem to be geared to emphasise the waist and arms which is tricky when you want to flatter/ hide them.

PS Probiotics and yoghurt are supposed to be helpful in balancing the gut after gastric issues/food poisoning etc.
