Out of morbid curiosity, I wandered into a clothing store today. The heat has been absolutely unbearable of late, and it's only going to get worse next month...so I figured that looking into shorts wouldn't be a bad idea. I made a beeline for the plus section, as that was the only place I found pants that fit last time I was looking, but they had no shorts. Without much hope, I picked up a pair of the largest size I could find in the normal section (a 70 cm waist...which translates to about 27.6'') and wandered into the dressing room. To my great surprise, they fit! They had almost no give to them either...I'm not saying that they fit WELL (no muffin top, but the thighs were squishily tight), but considering that my last pair was a 76 cm waist, I did a little happy dance. Had they not made an announcement that it was closing time while I was still in the fitting room, I would have bought them just because I could squeeze into them
CanadianMomma: Hurray for hipbones! You can hardly see mine if I'm standing, but now they pop out when I'm lying in bed at night. I'd actually be really happy with my hip and butt area right now if not for the belly pooch in the middle getting in the way >.<
Astrild: Congrats! At this point I think that my dream size is a 6, but as I really don't have access to American clothes atm in anything smaller than the 12s I brought with me, I have no idea how much farther off that is...
Lunula: I informed my boyfriend over Skype today that when he comes and visits, we're taking a billion pictures together. He kinda stared at me a minute before asking "YOU want pictures?" I generally used to dive under tables if I saw a camera pointed in my direction, and as a result I only have one crappy webcam picture of us together...not fun when we live 10,000 miles apart.
Judipurple: Huzzah for loss AND self-control!
Apeygirl: Backfat is the worst! KICK ITS BUTT!
Everyone is doing AWESOME! Keep it up
