Don't freak out about the size

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to jump in and reasure you about the size issue. I'm

also 5'2 " (and a half) and last I checked I weighed 142. I wear size

12 in many chothes. It really depends on the store. Some stores

size their clothes larger then others. I find that there are stores

where I am a size 8 and thats just rediculous.

I agree..I try not to pay any attention to sizes anymore. They are all different. I just try to find something that fits me and I'm comfortable in. I'm about 250 pounds and I'm anywhere from a size 18-24 and 1X-3X! It totally depends on the clothes. forumjodie wrote: I just wanted to jump in and reasure you about the size issue.

Well, I

think my first thought was that my scale was broken all this time and I really

weighed about 180. But I calmed down and remembered that I’ve never

weighed 180, except pregnant. And I’ve been weighed at the doctor’s

office and it’s never too far off from my scale.

What bothers me is that I was so freaked

out and depressed over these little numbers! But I feel better. I think it was

a blip. And I’m glad! I do not want to start trying to diet again.
