msbelle is curvy and wee.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.
12/14 remains the Size Black Hole, as I am discovering yet again.
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.

I figure, why work to be a size 10? One day, I'll just buy a whole new body and have mt head attached to it.
