Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
Eggs for breakfast! Cheese omelette! Bacon! Ham! Sausage! Full-fat milk and real cream in your coffee! mmm.
Yeah, it's also supposed to be low-fat and low-cal. :) No cream or bacon. But it's damn effective...if I can stick to it!
ita ! that's hot! I like it.
meara, you wanted to know how the outfit looked?
clappyhands
You look great!

Holy Clothing. [link] Lots and lots of flowy skirts.
Thanks, meara (eta: and Jilli)! I like how it turned out, and I did last minute find lipstick in my bag. Luckily my palette rarely varies.
Okay, I'm going to steal out and buy garlic fries for lunch, despite the system still being down. Everyone else took lunch. I mean, those that came into the office.

It is never my best intention to tell other people what to eat, but... low-carb and low-fat together are generally not a good idea. Short-term I guess it's all right, but long-term it's bad for you. Though I don't see how anyone could stay on such a restrictive diet long-term anyway! That's some heroic effort, there.
I don't see why it's necessary to be so restrictive, anyway, when low-carb is so effective by itself. (I mean, if it's effective for you; I know it doesn't work for some people.)
