Look, I'm not going to tell you "don't lose weight" because that is none of my business. At all. Go for it, especially if you do healthfully and without starvation or a fad diet.

I just always feel sad reading these secrets that basically say "I'm really insecure about how I look and losing some weight will change that and finally 'allow' me to do what I want." The fact is your choice of clothing and your happiness in your own skin has a lot more to do with your attitude than your weight or any other aspect of your appearance.

There are, in fact, a lot of cute shirts and jean shorts in larger sizes than zero. In larger sizes than six, or even twelve. And you can totally wear them, and depending on what you pick you can wear them and still totally flatter your figure.

EXACTLY. OP, nothing is preventing you from dressing like you want, except maybe money. Those outfits in particular can look great on larger girls, so why the urge to be skinny? Love your body for what it is, not what you want it to be.

To be fair, it doesn't seem to be about just clothes. OP mentioned covering up in the Summer because they don't like their body. Having the clothes in larger sizes doesn't change that issue. Her health is what is important and losing weight may greatly help it, provided she doesn't go extreme.

So much this.

I understand where you're coming from OP since I am definitely not skinny myself, but I've learned that I feel much happier if I accept the way I am (although I do exercise and eat healthy) rather than trying to change it.

and some people feel much more confident/happy about themselves with a couple of kiles less. that's not a bad thing.

I've known a lot more people who are unhappy with their bodies no matter how much they lose, and no amount of weight lost ever seems to be enough, than I know people who became happy with themselves after losing some weight. And the more severe the insecurity, the less likely a person was to ever get to a weight that made them happy, and basically acted exactly the same even after changing their diet and losing a lot.
But there ARE people who will feel happier and more confident after losing some weight, it's true. You are right that there are some people like that. Judging by the fact that OP is too insecure to wear anything but baggy clothes, I'm guessing they might be a bit too insecure for their attitude to suddenly change when they reach a magic number.
I also know that I, personally, lost weight a lot more successfully after I decided I was going to be happy with my body no matter what, because I was no longer waiting to get thin enough to be okay with myself. I never got impatient, so I was never tempted by starvation or fad diets. But I also started taking thyroid medication around the time I started losing a lot, so I am not sure exactly what percentage of my lost weight is from fixing the thyroid problem and what was the attitude change. I really don't think it matters.

I like your comments in this thread. Just wanted to say. ^^

I'm one of those persons whose self-esteem did rise after losing some weight. However, I've been actively working on getting rid of my insecurity (still not entirely there; doubt I ever will, but it's no biggie - everyone's insecure sometimes) for quite some time, and losing some pounds just made me feel more at home in my own body and thus I felt better about myself and started believing that I'm beautiful in my own way. I still have a few pounds in excess that I would like to lose eventually, but I'm more or less satisfied with how I look and don't worry about getting rid of those pounds asap. Instead, I'm going to eat healthy and exercise and focus on being happy with myself - any weight lost is just an added bonus.
