12/14 remains the Size Black Hole, as I am discovering yet again.
I am kicking myself for getting rid of all my clothes that were too small for me in the last purge.
They'd fit now.
Damn it.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle is curvy and wee.

I should modify that to say "pants" because my skirts are all one-size, and my tops, well...
I was this weight in 2002, but the cup size was a wee bit smaller.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm now an 8, and can wear a 10 in jeans if I don't mind the fit being loose. At 5'4," it's not a tiny size, but I am happy with it. before I lost all the weight this year, I was a 14-16.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously. Although my most unfavorite size was busting-out-of-14. "Regular" sized clothes were too small, plus size were too big.

What is even happening?
I'm 5'9" and size 12. When I lost weight, I thought I looked too thin for my frame when I was shrinking out of size 10.
I'm 5'6" and a size 12 (although like JZ, that can go down a couple of sizes, but I don't think it's gone up...yet). You likely look much more slender than I do, as a 12. When I'm a size 10, I'm just right for me. In sizes 8 and 6, people tell me I'm too thin. I say, "What?" so I can hear it again.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm 5'6" and a solid 16 in pants. I'm not ecstatic, but I'm becoming more accepting of it.
Makes me laugh, because when the LAistas first met me, I was a good 50 lbs lighter.
I blame the board.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ayup. Incredibly frustrating.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm not fretting, just baffled. Also mildly annoyed, because I vaguely remember a period in the early '90s when women's sizes seemed fairly stable and it was possible to go to the rack labeled with your size, grab a bunch of stuff, and be reasonably certain it'd all fit when you went into the dressing room. Now there's the long and laborious hunt through "Size I maybe think I am" with additional expeditions into the two or three sizes on either side of the maybe size because the numbers are such a meaningless crapshoot.

I've always been somewhere between a 6 and an 8, though lately leaning more toward a solid 8. I'm about 5'6". I would be okay with this, but I know I need to exercise more and stop eating so much crap. If I were a toned and fit 8, no problem. But I'm so not.
