" Hey Jess, I have a rather odd problem with clothing. I go to regular stores and I can&amp;#039;t find anything that fits or is cute because I&amp;#039;m a size sixteen dress in juniors. So then I go to the women&amp;#039;s side of the store, and I still can&amp;#039;t find anything that fits because I would be one of the smallest plus sizes there, or the clothes are just too ugly and/or expensive. I am losing weight but not because of my body image \u2014 I love the way God made me, but I know I wasn&amp;#039;t mean to be THIS big, you know, for my health only. Any advice for an in between girl who refuses to dress badly until she reaches whatever size God made her to?  Thanks, Catherine Dear Catherine, I really love your attitude about your body and have been in a similar position. It&amp;#039;s important to love ourselves, but it&amp;#039;s also important to stay healthy. It seems to me that you&amp;#039;ve really got your head on straight, and I encourage you to continue on your path to a healthy lifestyle and keep up your positive attitude. I know shopping can be difficult, but give your body some time to adjust as it continues to change. Talk to your friends and those around you in similar situations. If you find a store/brand that works well, stick with it. Give yourself and your body realistic goals, and be patient with your transformation. You&amp;#039;ll see that it will be only a matter of time until your hard work and patience will pay off. Keep at it girl, you&amp;#039;ll be rocking your favorite styles in no time! Blessings, Jess "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
