Larissa:  Good to see you're doing so well now.  You deserve this.  Old Navy is my fave place for pants.  Christopher Banks for tops.  My dilemma now is underwear.  If the smallest size is 5 and it gets too big, what then?  Shopping in the children's department would be embarrassing.  Although I did buy one pair of pants in the children's department at Sears........Hey, they were on sale!

I.  am.  not.  a.  doctor.

Well now I'm really depressed. If I'm a 3X, does that really mean I should be a 6X? YIKES!!!!

Sizing is driving me up the wall too.

Seriously, I don't know what size I am because of all the different liberties clothing manufacturers take when it comes to measurements.  A major offender I found was Levi's jeans. They were selling plus size levis at Macy's a few months ago- I squeezed my ass into size 20 womens plus levi, but I also fit into a size 16 charter club slacks on the same day. WTF?

Then there's that gray area where you're too small to be plus size, but too big for regular sizes. It's like limbo, only worse because you might have to show up naked since nothing fits.

 LOL...ya'll might can make me eat my words later, but I don't care if I weigh 250 lbs, as long as I can wear and LOOK like a size 12!  LOL  I'll just say my bones weigh alot.  Actually, I read that somewhere I think.....that heavy people have heavier bone mass or something, in order to support their weight.  As long as my health is back on track, I don't give a HOOT what chart says I'm overweight, as long as I know what I know.  Of course, I've always been a little obsinate about some things....Like I said, I'm sure I'll be eating my words at some point and time...LOL

It's also muscle, it takes up less space than fat does and it's much heavier. So there's a good chance you're ripped!

Now that my arms don't look like bloated sausages anymore, I've noticed a pair of guns. Where did they come from?
