I put on a lot of weight during my thesis write-up. Obviously, I wish I hadn't, but life was so desperately difficult (for more reasons than just the thesis) at that time that I turned to comfort food BIG time. The result is that now, a year on, I am a stone heavier than before, and a dress size bigger. I could try to lose the weight, but I love food and booze too much and lack motivation (yeah yeah i know i should blah blah). So maybe I should resign myself to being a bit bigger, and buy clothes accordingly. During the dark days a tracksuit top and bottoms, or a crappy old tartan shirt and leggings were the order of the day (more accommodating for stuffing myself with chocolate of course..) but now I'm back in the real world i need to get my fashion mojo back, but can't find anything that I think will suit me. All the fashion websites and clothes shops (esp, here in Australia) cater solely for size 8 tinies, of which I certainly am not one. This is frustrating me a lot. It's possible to be a little chunky and still stylish, i know this because I see a lot of very lovely larger ladies dressing incredibly well walking around, but where do they get their clothes from? Wow, a whole post about clothes... maybe i should go read a book or something... Bx
