Weight distribution
I got up and got dressed this morning — wearing a skirt and top I’ve had for ages. As my weight has fluctuated, so has the fit of these clothes; at one point, I could pull the skirt up over my hips without unzipping it. Well, not so anymore! But what I found odd was that over the weekend when I went swimming, my swimsuit bottom was a little loose. Sigh… Clothes are such a trial. I have some things I think I look pretty good in, but most things these days are really disappointing. I’ve noticed that a lot of the weight I’ve gained has settled in my hips, but my butt is still relatively firm… But no one can tell that because I’ve got to get something big enough for my hips to fit in!
I think I’m obsessing about this because I leave early Thursday morning for a mini-vacation to San Francisco with my boyfriend and a group of his friends. It’s the first time I’m meeting most of them in person (they live spread out all over the country, and they only get togehter once a year), and I want to “impress” them. I’m just sort of frustrated with the packing process…
Anyway, someday I will fit into a standard (one-digit — dare to dream!) size of clothes, that will actually fit all areas of my body at once! Woohoo!

I feel the same way sweetheart!!! My thighs are huge, but my waist really isnt as bad. I have to buy jeans in a bigger size and then put a belt on, but the belt goes tight enought that it bends my jeans. lmao. I hate it. My thighs are my problem area. Hopefully both of us will get to our one digit sizes soon!
Have fun in San Francisco!
You will, don’t worry! And clothes are frustrated at any size. Honestly, even now I have things that just do not fit me, no matter the size. But overoll, yes, it’s no brainer that as you go slimmer, clothes look better on you. That’s why the fancy-shmancy clothes designer prefer broomsticks as their models. Can drape them any way ya want….
Have a wonderful trip to Frisco! I’d forget about impressing anyone, ’cause some people will just judge you no matter what, and some - will always give you a chance and be whole-heartedly welcome, and enjoy the outing!
