I'm working on a project and was curious to hear other's responses to this idea: How did you ~magically~ hide your fat body to make sure that other people did not see you as FAT? (I used "did", but maybe it should be "do", depending upon your current view.)
For instance, some people:
1. Hide behind the bushes/other family members in family photos
2. Wear clothing that you thought would camouflage your hugeness
2a. Wear only black or navy.
2b. Wear huge tops over leggings 'cuz you thought that your legs were the only thing still "skinny".
2c. Wear clothes 4 sizes too big. Nothing touches a curve...anywhere.
2d. Wear clothing 2 sizes too small 'cuz you want to believe that you still look like a size 12 even when stretched to the max.
2e. Wear only loud florals/patterns 'cuz no one will notice the fat...they'll notice the print.
2f. Only wear skirts or pants. I know there are two camps with this one.
3. Never eat out in public or if you do, only order the side salad to pick at.
4. Avert gazes 'cuz, you know, if you don't see other people, they can't see you.
5. Hair styles
5a. Long 'cuz you know no one will see all of the other fat bits through the mane.
5b. Super short 'cuz the hair stylist always said that short hair keeps people looking UP UP UP...thus avoiding your fat body.
Anything else?
