Ok, yesterday was better. Started off with a great smoothie. Can't remember what lunch was, or if I ate, I know I was munching on peas most of the morning and some carrots so maybe I wasn't hungry? Supper wasn't the best, but had lots of salad and tomatoes with some cooked stuff. I had incredible cravings last night. I wanted CHOCOLATE! But instead I sliced up some strawberries with a bit of agave and ate that. Cured the sweet craving. THEN I wanted salties..lol. So I had some sliced tomatoe sprinkled with sea salt. I was silly and stayed up really late, so got really hungry, had a 1/4 cup of macadamias, fixed the hunger and ran to bed. Sewing could wait..lol.

I went shopping yesterday for some clothes. How depressing. I HATE clothes shopping. Nothing fits, ever. I only wanted some tanks nad shorts as we are expecting aheat wave and I'm camping. I looked hideous in everything. I NEED to drop some weight. I did before, I didn't gain any back. But I still have 15 lbs to go. I'm determined to slim out some. I hate how I look right now, it's not nice. So, it's back to focus focus focus. I am sewing up a pair of shorts this morning, in hopes to set something that kinda fits. I have been blessed with a waist AND hips, and nothing fits right need a bigger size for hips, so the waist never fits. If the waist measurement fits, it'll NEVER fit over my hips..lol. Too much difference. Gotta take a few inches off the hips.

    I'm the opposite...no butt and all belly. Mens pants actually fit me better than womens. Actually I have a butt but it doesn't look like it cause I'm all belly. lol I feel your pain though. I was thinking just yesterday that I should sew up the side hip area on my new capris so the material won't just flop around. I guess I'll be doing the sit ups while your doing the lunges.

    LOL. no, if I do lunges my thighs get BIGGER! Ugh. I sewed up a set of shorts today. They look great on the hanger, but not on me. I could cry! It's so frustrating to have nothing that fits. I would have to get everything altered, and we can barely afford new clothes right now, so altering is outta da question! I even tried second hand stores. No luck. I just wanna go hide under a rock.

    I buy skirts that fit me just below the belly button and sit hi on the hips. Then wear a very long shirt to cover my tummy. I won't wear shorts cuz i just look too gross. But here in hawaii - I can opt to wear a sarong with like bathing suit bottoms instead of shorts. Sometimes I wonder who decides what shape clothes should be sewn in... do they know any REAL WOMEN? ;)

    I have the same problem. I buy bottoms that fit my hips and then take in the waist, or have a taylor do it. This works well, because I feel like they don't make pants that fit curvy women. The only place I dont' have to do this is when I buy pants when I'm visiting my friends in Austria. H and M often has pants that I don't have to alter.
