Women clothes eh? or just the panties?
all i know is that i dont fit a size anything anymore, they have to make em for me. they do a good job at the tall and large outfitters.

Anyway wayyy of topic, Liz you have been doing good, and you look good in the pics too. Maybe you just need to buy some new ones?

Blessed be. BFG

I look funny in women’s clothes.

bobby, if there’s one thing that’s become clear in these comments here it’s that we are often not the best judges of how we look in women’s clothes. therefore i think you should let someone else be the judge of that. i’d be happy to help out.

I haven’t fit into anything smaller than a fourteen in two and a half years. A size nine would be HEAVEN right about now.

Good luck…

I range from fourteen to eighteen… lately it’s been on the sixteen side, but fourteens are tight and sixteens are loose… nothing in between when everything I buy comes from the sale racks at old navy… (i remember what I wore that day too – funny how the mind works)

two years ago … when i was (yes i remember the exact pants i was wearing that day) poured into a pair of thirteen/fourteens, which was the first & last time those fit up until about april of this year, yeah, i got plenty bigger from there, up to a maximum of 18. so i guess there’s some basis in something somewhere for my obsession with pants. doesn’t justify the sort of pissy self loathing i directed at my self today but it does explain it. no it doesn’t. but … oh man.

I appreciate your candor (and the compliment too – thanks!)

I think I was trying to say something more along the lines of “I understand” – I have shorts that are twelves and pants that are tens that mock me; literally MOCK me… and I spend mornings freaking out because I just don’t have anything that fits and/or looks decent (or that would look decent in a professional environment).

but you’re right, though. women are beautiful at all shapes/sizes/etc. I have a hard time realizing that (about myself) but really appreciate when others can affirm that – about themselves and others – I dunno, I guess it just makes me feel a little stronger about the fact that maybe I can too.

I’m going to stop now before I ramble too much more, but just know that I really did appreciate this post (because I feel it myself). And yes, having met ya in person (roughly almost 2 years ago if memory serves – MLK weekend?) I can say honestly that yes, you’re beautiful too.
