I Struggle With My Body Image

I despise clothes shopping. I am overweight, long waisted, long arms, long legs. I can't find pants and jeans that fit very often. Today I was out shopping. I found a pair of pants that were tall. The problem was it was not a woman's size (like 16 W). Hubby convinced me to try them on. THEY FIT!!! Even though the scale is not moving, my clothes fit differently!!!

uh.. not sure where you are actually shopping but there's tons of outlets with very nice clothing where you can get BIG and TALL and many other variables.

especially ONLINE!

@sighmeupforthat I live in a rural area so not much choices. I can't afford to spend more that $20-$25 on clothes. So budget also restricts me. Thanks for the info!

@blondie47 haha! I restrict myself to the same type of budget, £12 on the last pair of jeans and 2 pairs of chinos for £22 this year, then I thought I'd been extravagant for buying 3 new pairs of trousers in a year!
