Man, I know how you are feeling about this. There appears to be huge differences between XXL & XL in mens clothing as well. I personally have only been shopping at the Thrift stores or Goodwill. So far I have gone through a pair of pants about every three weeks. I mean; I'm not complaining or anything, but it would get expensive if I were to buy clothes at a retail store!

Don't fret! Even people who are at goal have that kind of day shopping sometimes. I swear I thought I was being punked one day at Marshall's. I had about 5 shirts to try on and not only did not a single one of them fit me, but one of them I couldn't get my head through the head opening and one of them I went to put my arm in the sleeve, and there was no sleeve. It's like the store got a giant batch of defects and I managed to try on every one of them. Sometimes we just have a bad shopping day. Don't worry, I'm sure the next time you go try things on you may have the opposite problem- when you have too much stuff and your credit card cries a little.
