Nothing Fits (and it looks like ****)

Nothing Fits (and it looks like ****) I look through my closet I have nothing to wear I must have dried this too long It's too tight and I swear This means I have to go shopping The nightmare begins A floor of wrinkly clothes Piled high to my shins I have one choice of store That fit girls like me But their largest 5x Is rather snug you see It's hard being big Even worse the style of clothing The bitterness in me Is such a level of loathing Summer fashion is here Where can I hide? Diagonal stripes on polyester Flowers patterns so wide Expensive ugly clothes Makes life even tougher Heaven forbid I have some self pride Since I'm twice the weight of my father Slim ladies in cotton dresses Much cooler than hot poly pants Why does the fashion world dislike us? They just won't give fat people a chance. We all want to be happy To just leave the house feeling great Neutral colours, cool fabrics and style That never again we will hate If only I could sew and had talent Cuz I'd make clothes that would fit us all Ladies and gents no matter your size Would feel proud to shop at the mall Jennifer ArmyWife

HUZZAH! I love that poem! Many times I have wished that I could sew. Home ec was not my class if you know what I mean. Very clever Jenifer it made my day!

Jennifer, With your surgery around the corner, it won't belong before you become the incredible shrinking woman, then you will be scrambling for stuff that doesn't hang on you! I've went from a size 32 to an 18, a size 5X to a XL, so hard for me to believe! I hold my underwear up and think wow these look so small. My pre-surgery underwear could have made a large napsack for a runaway child! I am so happy for you! Lori 384/242/168

OH my god! That is soo funny. LOVES IT!! Its so true. You can only find clothes that are bright and floral or animal print or something with lots of Pop out stuff. Its like they want us to stick out everywhere so that they can see us coming. Why must I always have a parrot flying out of my armpit or a chettah runnning out my crotch!

OMG, Rachel....a cheetah running out of your crotch?! Lisa L.

that is cute

HUZZAH! is right! Good job Jennifer! That is SO me. Makes me want to forward it to all my 'skinny' friends so they can get even just a small glimpse of what it is like being SMO. Huggs, Ruth

So true, so true. At 306 pounds I would go straight to the ugly stuff as I knew it would be the only thing that I could find that fits!! Ann
