I used to buy slimming undies (what in the old days they called "girdles") and the control top pantyhose and that whole deal. I gave up on it because it was uncomfortable, and started buying clothes that fit, though the sense of defeat took awhile to get over and still haunts me sometimes. However, it is mostly overcome by the fact that I'm wearing comfortable (physically and mentally) clothes.

I just tried on last year's jeans because I'm heading north next weekend and needed to make sure I have clothes to wear--these shorts I've got on now aren't going to do it in Wisconsin, methinks. The jeans fit, and they're close to acceptable, but they're not totally flattering. I've put on a few pounds the last couple of months because I haven't been getting my normal exercise because of various physical problems. So I ordered two pairs in the next size up from Old Navy and put a rush on the order so I won't be nekkid in Milwaukee, and am trying not to make it a self-judgment. I'll be getting back to my normal routine now as the aches and pains are subsiding, the old jeans will be fine, and in the meantime, I won't feel like a sausage.

I think I'll look at this site for awhile, too. It ALWAYS makes me feel better. And I think WI will like it, too.
