I had to lose 4 inches from my gut to be able to buy decent pants.
DUH!
Lose the weight, you will live longer and hurt a lot less.
Why do those clothes suck?
Because in order to "fit" all the DIFFERENT varieties and shapes of fat women, they either have to make a hundred different fat lady cuts and fits for their customers, or they can just opt for a one size fits all deal.
With fat men, it is the gut and then the ass, which is the fitting solution. With fat women, the fat and the curves make this a nightmare for a mass production business.
Lose the weight, make your own, hire a tailor, or just take what you can. Try Ann Taylor.
I have to lose another 2 inches before I can buy a pair of day glow stripped bell bottoms and a Seinfield puffy shirt. Then I will be styling!
Two weeks walking around S.F. will take care of that. I might be able to get some of those rock star leather pants too. If you live in S.F. you have no excuse for being fat unless you cannot walk. You can also eat like both a pig and king while you are at it and still lose weight.
BTW - happy pills MAKE YOU FAT! So do HFC sweetners.
Kate, are you in S.F.?
Just pick a hill and walk up it. Walking down is even worse. You DO NOT have to use MUNI, walk instead.
