What does a 320 lb woman look like?



Recommended Posts

The clothing is a good point. I'm just under 6' and it's hell trying to find heels in my size (11). Not that I'd wear hoochie platforms like those. I can't imagine anyone her height finding stuff that isn't custom, especially if this weren't fake. And dresses... not that I could fit a dress like that on anything other than my calf, but if I could, it would come down as far as.... my belt, maybe. Long legs/height is hard to deal with. I often envy shorter people in some ways. I always seem to have an easier time finding "short" or "petite" than I do "talls".

Hey, wait a minute...

I must admit, the clothes and shoes, I thought, no way, that's fake. I mean even if you were *only* 6ft 5, you'd be a freaky sight and would you go around with your tits hanging out and hooker shoes dressed like that? I mean talk about attention seeking, lol.

heheh Wheetsin you have good eyes, the story behind that picture is it was taken at the same time BUT (gotta hate that word) the 6'5" girl was walking a few paces ahead of the shorter gal (I think they said she was 5'3" or something close to that) what they did was move half the picture "back" so it looked as if they are walking together instead of apart.

Which makes it fake because in a photo, the closer something is to the camera, the bigger it appears. Pushing her back like they are walking side-by-side is just like taking two different pictures, each with a different scale, and pasting them together.

Just look at the picture and it's obvious. The shorter girl is supposed to be 5'3" and she's supposed to be 6'5". Well, she sure looks more than 1"2" taller than the shorter girl.

My husband's cousin is 6'2" and wears size 12 or 13 shoes and she has shoes like that, she delights in wearing them. Shoe shopping is a pain and a half for her, but she finds shoes.

On another note, we found out that it is harder to find nice shoes for someone who wears size 6.5 EEEE (me) than for someone who wears a size 12. She thought it would be easy to find shoes for me, but when we went shopping we found three pairs for her and none that fit me. We spent a whole day at it.

Oh, broad feet. I am cursed with them. Like flippers.

My poor daughter, all she wants is pretty cheap shoes like other 5 year olds wear. What she gets is birkenstocks, nothing else fits her. I am fine with running shoes, boots, birks, any sandal/flip flop and any heel now though, but flat dress shoes, forget it. It seems to be a heel puts allt he pressure on your ball of your foot, and doesnt allow the foot to spread out like it does flat. So hopefully for Eliza, when she's older and wants more adult type shoes, she'll be fine. But for now, its terrible. I couldnt even find school shoes to fit her!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
