Shopping Frustrations!
I am sooooo tired of trying to find pants and shorts that fit me. Yesterday, I was on a shopping trip to find myself some new shorts. I went from Fairweather, to Reitmans, to Ricki’s, to Cleo, to YZZA, and found absolutely ZERO pairs of shorts that fit me.
My problem?
If they fit over my hips and butt, they are HUGE on my waist, and if they fit my waist, there is positively no way they are going over my hips. Who designs these things anyway? Do designers honestly believe that women are build like boards? I know I can’t be the only woman who has to deal with this problem.
One of the pairs of shorts I tried on (unknown to me at the time I grabbed them) were those low-cut things that look good on teenagers with perfectly flat tummies but not quite as wonderful on a 37-year-old woman with a bit of a stomach. (Shoot me if I ever become delusional enough to believe I can wear something like that and look good in it without dropping at least another 15 pounds first). I zipped them up and nearly cracked up, they looked so ridiculous. Even those shorts left a big 2-inch gap in the back. You could pretty much see all of my underwear (and they were bikini bottoms). How lovely.
I have been dealing with this problem most of my life. Even when I am overweight, I am proportionality overweight. My waist is still smaller than my hips and I still struggle to find pants and shorts that fit me. I have recently lost about 15 pounds and am finding that the problem is even worse now. It's driving me crazy. I’m glad to have lost some weight, but this is plain stupid. I just want to go to a store and buy a lousy pair of shorts that don’t require alterations. Is that too much to ask?
