So I know that I'm definatly not a normal size. I get that there are not a lot of people out there with my dimensions. but if they make a shirt that will fit around me, why can't they make them so that my gut won't hang out?!? I have two interviews next week and am trying to find clothing to buy for these occasions....however yeah i can't find anything. Catalogs are out of the question because i have to try things on. there's one fashion bug near me but the merchandise isn't apropraite. layne bryant dosn't seem to have stores at least not in my area. yep i'm annoyed this is why i only like to buy shoes!argh just had to vent.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I am lucky that I sew. I have been lazy lately, and not made
anything. We have "plus" size
shops about 20 miles from where I live. I just do not
like the styles and how they fit me. I have a weird figure; as my stomach stick out further than anything else. LOL This is a recent
occurence, since I went thru
menopause. It changed my figure. If I get anything that fits in the waist the butt is way to big and baggy.
If I get tops that fit in the
bust; they will not button over my stomach. YUCK!!
Good luck. I hope you find clothes that work for you.
the next closest store is Mt. Pleasant. That is the home of Central Michigan University!! YAY!!! but the Fashion Bug there is almost all teeny bopper stuff.
Myabe if you could find a store in a different locality?
I do feel your pain though! I am the flatest chested 300lb female you'll ever get the opportunity to read a reply from!! I know what the stores are like for us!
God Bless!

Good luck with your interviews!
This summer, I had her try on 12 bathing suits, before we finally selected one that fit. She is very picky to make matters worse.
Good luck with the interviews!!
My advice is to check out department stores. You would be surprised to know that many department stores including Macys & JC Penneys have plus size sections w/lots of great clothing choices.
