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.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

I bought 2 pants and 1 skirt at Target recently. All the same brand (Merona). The pants are both 10s and snug, and I bought a 6 in the skirt and should have bought a 4. SAME BRAND!!!

I'm glad I skipped straight to occasionally falling out of 14 in my shopping this time. (Which, seriously, makes me realize I need to actually try shit on. Or buy belts. Or just move slowly and hope for the best.) Because that stage drives me batty.
