Clothes tell the real story

[Alexandra 55]

It's amazing! :mad:

I've changed my sig because my numbers tell only a small part of the story. Today I went shopping and found that I'm in a new size range, yet again. THIS is a whole new one, for me, that I've NEVER worn as an adult. :confused:

HOOOOOOOOO-WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Can I have everyone's fat clothes since I haven't had my surgery yet? Wouldn't it be great if we could just fax over our old clothes? Congradulations, what an amazing day for you.

[Alexandra 55]

Thanks everyone! It's easy to suspect that Avenue has adjusted its sizing upwards, because I still don't feel that I look any slimmer than I did 50 lbs ago. But there those labels are!

Not to worry, Donali, I'm only almost in the 18/20 range comfortably. I'm definitely in some 20 pants and my 22 jeans are falling off me. But when I had to exchange a tank top because the 22/24 was too big, that seemed to be a cause for celebration. The next size available in blouses, which do fit, is 18/20. Wow!! As Shelly says, there are definitely some advantages to being tall. :cool:

Shelly, has your length changed? I've always worn tall pants but recently they've seemed too long! So I tried an "average" length but they're too short. Now what do I do? :cool:

WTG Alex!!!!! Soon you'll be able to kiss the "Women's Sizes" goodbye forever!!!!!! WHile I appreciate that there are clothes in my size... I know I won't have a single problem kicking the plus sized stores to the curb! Maybe we will be able to pose in the catalogs for plus clothing as many of them use skinny women to sport big girl stuff.:cool: I bet you look MAHVELOUS DAHLINK!

I'm a five-tenner too... acutally, I'm five feet, nine-and-three-quarters tall. But to figure my BMI I had to use 5'10". I guess that means my BMI is acutally a little higher than 44. Damn weight obsession has me picking at the smallest details!

Hey, can someone tell me how to post my picture by my name and Avatar?
