How plus-size lady's physique affected her religion

According to Rose, church clothes didn't fit her because of her physique. Every Sunday, she struggled to select a church outfit that would not be termed provocative.

This made her wear outfits that greatly discomforted her chest area. In her words:

"One of the reasons I stopped being a Christian. Call it flimsy, call it whatever you like. But one of the reasons that made me stop going to church is because church clothes don't fit me. Church clothes don't fit me.

Even for her day job, her physique made her wear uncomfortable clothes for work, just so she could cover up her figure.

"And that's like one of the problems I'm having also as a 9 to 5 worker. Because most corporate outfits that would look dapper on other people would look, I don't know how to describe it, but the clothes are always ill-fitting.

"And how I know that they are ill-fitting is that me, the wearer of the outfit, finds it very, very uncomfortable. Finds wearing the outfit very, very uncomfortable. Like on the outside you might think, oh, this is it, but me I know that this clothes is ill-fitting..."

She continued to struggle every Sunday with her outfit choice until she decided to stop going to church entirely.

"So every time it was time to go to church, I always struggled between deciding to look like a slu't or choosing discomfort, which is wearing ill-fitting clothes and trying to cover up.

"You did well by sharing your perspective. However, there are very decent clothes you could put on and very comfortable. On being a Christian, it's your choice. You were possibly a Chrisitian (religion) by birth and practising cultural Christianity, hence going to church (church girl) not because of a personal relationship you have with Christ but because you were brought up that way. You need to have a relationship with Christ, that's being Christian (Christ like). You need to reflect the virtues of Christ..."
