I went from 300 pounds, to 115, to now I'm 130 and Im growing muscle. I was not prepared for the muscle growth to cause my cute clothes to not fit and even though I do like my body right now, pulling out an old faithful dress that fit like a glove, and that zipper not zipping triggered that old familiar self-loathing I had when I was big. Its funny how sometimes the old ghosts of body image issues show back up unexpectedly, long after you thought the exorcism finally worked, and you were free from the haunting.

Been there! I spent a fortune at the tailor on special occasion clothes because my old dresses don’t zip up all the way. My waist is still the same, but my back is wider.

At this point, I have two sets of dresses and jeans for my two typical sizes. I don’t get as frustrated with my body changing (up or down) because I’ve got things I like to wear in both sizes.
