Those must be the people who think that when someone gains weight their arms get longer.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

The stock photo of the female healthcare worker with an angry shadow would actually be useful to illustrate a class on how to deal with anger for healthcare professionals.
All the other ones were really bizarre.

Why protein shakes? Those things are nasty!
...that's what the diet said to do? They weren't quite so nasty in my memory, but I was having issues this morning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Can I come live in your bizarro universe, Ginger? In mine, all the plus clothes have sleeves and legs that are hilariously too short.

Mais non. Quel horreur. Eggs for breakfast! Cheese omelette! Bacon! Ham! Sausage! Full-fat milk and real cream in your coffee! mmm.

I think the problem is that all plus sizes are bizarre. They either size everything up proportionally, leaving me with cuffs to my knuckles or they fail to allow for how having a larger belly uses up some of the pants length.
We won't even go into the plus designers' strange desire to put large adult women in horizontal stripes and cutesy prints.

Ginger,
no shit. WTF.
BTW, Macy's has a plus size dress sale going on right now. Especially for maxis.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm super-impressed with how well the eShakti dress fit my plus-sized body. (I didn't have it altered; my own measurements were close enough to their size chart that I figured it would fit properly, and it did.) Although they're not actually a plus-sized clothing store, per se. They just offer sizes pretty far up.
Anyway, it fit better than a lot of stuff from actual plus-size retailers does.

This! I'm fat, not pregnant!
I just want to find some skirts that aren't snug around the hips. I don't want to have to make more circle skirts to get some that fit comfortably and move nicely.

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