I’m excited to watch your discussion with Oprah. I found your Instagram about 4 years ago. I’m 60 years old and was slender/thin until I hit my 50’s and menopause. My weight went up dramatically although my diet had not changed. I became so depressed and demoralized about how to even FIND clothes that were stylish for my newer larger body. Gone were my 10’s and 12’s (although they still hang in my closet - how to part with Armani pantsuits…). Your instagram gave me hope, and tips on where to find my new size (like you I am about 5’11” and now am a size 16/18), and most importantly, less shame over my new body. Thanks for all you do in this space. You speak to me even though I’m more than 20 years older than you! Thank you. I now feel more comfortable in my body because of you. And your tips on who makes my size are so helpful. Now to just get more extended sizes in stores. I hate the guesswork with online ordering. Am I a 16 or an 18? Guess I’ll order them both and send one back. It’s exhausting. Keep pushing for that. Have fun meeting Oprah!
OMGosh, I thought you were writing about me!!! That's my story exactly, especially the part about the smaller size clothes still hanging in my closet. It's a daily struggle and a real mental hardship!!
So excited for you and cannot wait to tune in. You help so many of us and inspire us to live our lives in any size. I feel like all your wins are our wins too and how wonderful to be seen by the world and accepted, especially by ourselves. 🍄
Congratulations Katie! You were so wonderful and I loved your message. It 100% resonated with me and I look forward to witnessing the effects of this discussion on our culture!!
Go Katie Girl! We are all so proud of you. Have the best time with Lady O. I know you will speak for me and my inner child - We are both in good hands 🙏🏻❤️ good luck beautiful girl 🙏🏻, let this be the start of change 😘😘😘
You go Katie!!! Take a deep breath and speak your truth. You have every right to be there and nothing to be nervous about! I will be tuning in and I will be sending strength and positivity to you. Love you and know what you say will be heartfelt. 💗
