I was looking through my jewelry collection and thought about the "chunky jewelry" theory.
This is somewhat like the handbag theory, whereas if you are a bigger person, you should not carry a dinky little purse. You should carry a big beach bag purse as to look more proportionate.
Now, this is never really a problem as far as handbags go, because I pack enough in mine to survive for 2 days at a time. If I ever get stuck in the forest, I will have a book, tampons and enough Dentyne gum to fashion myself some sort of shelter, I am certain. Anyhow, back to jewelry. The theory I have always heard is that same sort of proportionate equation: "Fat chicks must wear chunky jewelry." I have some small, delicate pieces that I love, but whenever I want to wear them I always wonder if it makes me look like I stole it from a children's store. "Oh look, the giant lady tried on something from Baby Gap, how cute." Does anyone else have chunky jewelry anxiety?
On the weight loss front, things are going well. I am trying to be diligent in cutting down on the gallons of diet Coke I drink every day. It's not that diet Coke is bad for you (at least calorie-wise), but I seem to eat worse when I drink it and I miss out on getting enough water.
I've been trying different types of tea and that seems to be working for now. Green tea, iced tea, red tea, all the good stuff.

hey...stumbled here...and wanted to say that i do have mild angst about jewelry...
back when i was in the 9th grade, i wanted a gold chain sooo badly. it was kinda the "in" thing and i wanted soooo badly to be in. all my friends had one....
well, for Christmas my parents presented me with a dainty gold chain....nothing rapper-eque like what was popular, but i cherished...and liked it bc it was dainty...made me feel like a real lady.....
several months later while at our lockers, i was talking to my best friend at the time, i can't remeber what we were talking about...or what promted it, but she said to me" that necklace looks like a rubber band around your neck!"
it hurt....and bc she was my bestfriendforever....i took her words to heart....i rarely wore my dainty chain after that...only to church.
recounting the story makes me want to dig it out of my jewelry box....and put it on...just to say "So What".......though i doubt it would fit anymore.
sorry for the novel.......
You are a riot! I have the chunky shoe theory. Any shoe that doesn't have a thick sole (like the trendy ked slip ons) will make my cankles look HUGE. I need a chunky shoe.
