The sound you heard earlier was what little self confidense I'd managed to aquire in the last year or so go kerflooey. Gone the way of the dino.
Yeah, I had to buy new pants for work. *gags* This wasn't so awful except they didn't have the size I wanted, so I went one size up [which had previously been too big] and... it was no longer entirely too big. So I was in a foul mood and about ten seconds into my nuclear breakdown [I figured I'd go full on hissy fit instead of stopping like I did earlier] Mom asks, "So, are we going on a diet today?" She got the finger in response.
So, I'm seething. It's not been a pleasant ten hours or so for me. But then I see these two women who are probably my size, only shorter [so possibly smaller, since apparently my mental picture of me needs an update] and they're having a fabulous time looking at clothes I'd rather shoot myself than wear... But they seem happy. And the sales woman is incredibly nice and gives me an extra discount, and I'm much happier about things. Except the diet comment, because really. There's a time and a place for everything, and now is not the time, and a dressing room is NEVER the place. NEVER. Especially when a fat girl is holding a size that was previously too large and isn't anymore. Sure, it seems like the
perfect place to mention the d word, but trust me. It's not.
And then I decided fuckit. For the most part, what makes me unhappy has very little to do with my size. I don't sit around whinging, for the most part [do I?] about my fat ass, and I'd rather like me at my least cute than wait around for me to be more of society's bitch. I'll be my own bitch, thank you very much.
But you will never see me wearing khaki. It just won't happen.
Onward! Doll of the day!
