I'm beginning to think I'm severely abnormal.
I'm 5'2" or so
Last weigh-in was 160
Just bought a pair of pants that were size 8 and I celebrated.
My upper body is like a line backer, and I have wide shoulders and back, so there is an unlikelihood of ever getting into a really small size in that area. I wish (or have wished in the past), that the distance around was more to the front - because I have to buy large sized bras with very small cup sizes - not always a possibility. Of course, I don't necessarily want a big load in the front, I would like to be proportional (or narrower). However, heritage has a lot to do with it, and my mother and grandmother were large boned women, so I guess that's what I will have to endure.
I'm trying not to obsess over numbers on the clothing - I just want to feel and look good. I keep reminding myself I'm doing this for the health benefits, and the weight loss is a definite bonus, but was not my original goal.
