I know I'm not fat, but I can't think of myself as 'thin'. I think of myself as 'normal'. I am very uncomfortable in form fitting clothes.I got a new dress last week to wear to a wedding this summer and got a size XL. I know I should be in a M, but that is too tight /form fitting for me. The areas I am very self conscious about are my stomach and my breasts. Even after loosing all the weight I am a DDD. One of my close friends works at Chicos and is always on my case to wear "clothes that FIT YOU"- she was not happy with the XL dress but said she knows I don't like to show off my curves. I do wear tight jeans now- but only boot cut and I never ever tuck a shirt in. I wear boot cut yoga pants- again with a shirt over- for exercise. I wear pretty baggy shirts too! So while I say I am comfortable with my body and even like it, I am not comfortable exposing my shape. DH would love me in tighter low cut clothes but not happening.
I don't really want to change - and I do think I look good in clothes and do buy the right size other than tops.
anyway...

Thanks Enomarb!!
It's weird wearing the tighter fitting clothes, something I am going to have to get used to. I am not a "tucker" either -- I don't think I will ever be able to do that. As for hanging in there for the long HAUL -- you betcha! I'm in this for LIFE.

I came here for the support and I've gotten so much (and a few DEBBIE DOWNERS...ugh!! ).

Huge thanks to all of you for the help and support!!!

Wishing all of us continued success on our personal LC WOE journeys!!
