Hello everyone,
I hope you'all don't mind that I stop in here every once and a while. The "mens corner" forum isn't very active and I do have way over 100 pounds to lose. So I hope you don't mind the occasional appearance of the male species in your forum.
I'm just frustrated right now. I order clothes from a catalog, and no matter what I buy, it ends up being the wrong size. I'm was wearing a size 52 pants that fit comfortably, and so I bought a couple of pair of dress pants in a size 50 so that I could fit them when i lose a little more weight. I also bought two pair of jeans (they are from different manufacturers) in a size 48. Just for fun, i tried on the size 50s, and they fit looser than the 52s! One of the jeans (in the size 48) I could button up (but was tight). The other pair of jeans was really tight and I could barely button them. How could different clothing manufacturers be so different in the size?
Normally, I would interpret the fact i could button a 48 as a good sign, but I don't. I'm frustrated that I have no idea what size i really am. I would think by now that there would be standard size for various clothes (if pants are measured in inches, then how can they be so far off from one another?).
My mini goal has been to wear a size 48 by the end of January, but I want to do that when I ACTUALLY WEAR A TRUE SIZE 48, not just pants that say 48 but are way bigger.
Okay, sorry to bother you with that. I just needed to rant.
