Sorry, husband not boyfriend.

I can imagine how much shit you get because I'm 5'1", always had linebacker shoulders that made me feel masculine as the only girl in gym doing 20 pull ups on the test in elementary school, and a whopping 122- 127 depending on the season. Rather than a gym, I have kettlebells in my own basement and everything else is seasonal, swimming in the summer, trail running a lot in the in the fall and spring, and lots of yoga inversions and odd "can a girl do a one arm push up?" craziness in the winter to keep me sane. So my size doesn't change really but my BMI and shape do and I still get a shit ton of comments- got told I could just eat and go up a size when I complained they hardly stocked any 2/4 dresses! I'm at the higher end of the spectrum and I want to yell " but you already took care of the sandwich and ten of its friends fatty, why do I need to do anything?"

Not that I would wish "condushuns" on anyone, but I'd be hoping to have something that explains it all and can be cured overnight so you don't have to hear about eating a sandwich several times a month. So good luck with "condishuns".

I'm genuinely curious why you have a problem with people calling their husband of 10 years, husband.

Exactly that! I can never find a small size in Ross or any of the affordable clothing places. Maybe it's my region, lard beast haven, but they have 2 xsmall and they're both vanity sized. Haven't gotten clothing in a while. It sounds like you have a body type that I would love. Especially being vegetarian, you can prove that you don't need meat for strength and muscle building. I can only do 6 pull ups on a good day so picturing a kid doing 20 is crazy. I bet you were triggering lots of fatties doing one armed pull-ups as a kid! I'm "condishuns" free, unfortunately. I have no excuse. I suspect most fatties just diagnose their condishuns. I'm eating more, moving less.Thank you.

I was just apologizing for my earlier slip up. As in "I'm sorry, I meant to say husband instead of boyfriend before." I hope that makes sense.

I don't even live in butterhuffer bible belt territory or something and Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Ross, Burlington Coat Factory, or any Dept Store that actually starts at or gives discounts to arrive at a decent price is going to have a handful of smaller sized dresses and the other 90 something percent of the rack is full of much larger sized dresses. I've occasionally tried on the larger sizes in a style I really like in a designer I've worn before and then tried to find it on amazon.com with free returns.

Triggering fatties has always been fun but I guess the grass is always greener because I'd love to trade a bit of my linebacker nature for your slim model look. Sorry it wasn't a quick fix. Good for you for not being a delusional self diagnosing idiot and maintaining some integrity though. I hope you can have it all one day.
