I'm not THAT heavy, why is it so difficult to find sharp, classy clothes? I don't want to look like a tramp, earth goddess, or trailer trash, why is the wardrobe choice restricted to that? Even torrid turned into the gap, blech.

I've never had this problem before, before I got sick, I was thin, and the only problem I had was finding long-legged jeans with small waist sizes.

Then the doctors put me on steroids, and I put on weight that did not drop no matter what I did. x.x;;;

Now that my metabolism is improving, I am losing weight. I think I can get back to my prior splendor (or so I try to tell myself after yet another hour excercising), but WTF do I do in the interim?

It's not fair. I didn't choose to gain weight, I don't see why I should be punished by the fashion industry with shitty clothing choices when I KNOW that it's possible to dress sharp and tailored. I don't want to embrace my large bust with empire waistlines, ******** that, I want to minimise it with less obtrusive seams, NO ******** RIBBONS OR SEQUINS, PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Argh.
