My problem too, those batwings. And I WAS enjoying " me " till I stopped losing

at 80 lbs still to go. Now I don't enjoy me anymore, again.

I have everything from a 2 to a 14 in my closet & they all fit. People ask

me what size I wear & I have to ask--THESE pants or the ones I had yesterday

or this top or most tops?

Sizes are sort of randomly assigned, I think. I have 3's that are very

comfy, 9's that make my eyes bug out. Go figure.

Don't hang your star on a size label.

OR A SCALE
