Self Esteem in the Dumps
Do you ever feel like you're being punished for being the size you are?
I need to get out of the golf business. I am supposed to be wearing all this golf apparel for my job, but everything I try on looks like sh*t. It's all made for girls who are like a size zero, and if you're not, well, they are just going to stitch some fabric together like a tent and you better just deal with it.

It makes me so mad... and it makes me feel horrible about myself.
Every shirt I try on in a Medium (which is what size I wear at NORMAL stores) is like, skin tight, and buttons about to pop off, and cutting off the circulation in my arms. But when I try on a large, they are cut SO DIFFERENTLY. They fit my fat arms, but the rest of it hangs off of me like a potato sack. Either that or there is so much fabric in the back that I look like The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
It's really just plain disgusting. This job has been doing a number on my self esteem the past few months...
God help me the day when I am supposed to order PANTS from these people...

I have been feeling totally lethargic and fatty lately. Hopefully now that I'm back on the bike I'll start to get better, but this winter took a toll of my waist like never before.
Sorry you're down about yourself, but I promise you have a LOT going for you that most skinny bitches don't even know they're missing. Also I think it's probably true that most skinny bitches are never actually happy either.
Dave, so true... Winter makes me FAT! I hope the bike will help me at least FEEL more in shape!
You are you just the way you are. You have a wonderful, loving boyfriend, a beautiful family and a circle of friends who adore you, you are educated and intelligent, funny and witty beyond the majority. Above all that, you have integrity, you are respected, and you are taken seriously when need be. And, THAT, my dear, is better than any pair of pants that fit, so get the next size up, and find a reasonably-priced tailor. Then, hop on your bike, get Robbie and go for an ice-cream cone!! :O)
WTF is golf apparel? Are clothes really made specifically for golfing?
Sally, you have no idea. There is an entire CULTURE made specifically for golfers. I am finding out that most of them don't take too kindly to women in their business either. Yeah, it's really awesome.
I just belted out a huge lauhgh/cough thing in the newsroom after reading your caption for Natalie Gulbis.
Thank you for making me half puke my jimmy john's. haha!

Ben, I am glad I made you laugh. Natalie Bulbous makes me laugh too... Skinny little b----
Oh, and I have a tshirt I wear all the time as my Hobbit Wear; it says, "Reformed Anorexic" - I get laughs every time I wear it!
You're beautiful and skinny...and funny when you talk about golf clothes.
