From M to XXL

I’ve never worn size S before. However I wore M when I was in my 20s and shifted to L in my late 30s. Sob.

Then horror of horrors, post pregnancy, I ballooned to XXL! Much to my dismay it stayed that way for a long time! I had to take drastic action. I ate like a bird. I exercised. After 6 months, I returned to L or occassionally XL.

I hope never to go to XXL again. Though I’m still stuck at L and I suspect I will never fit into M again, it is much better than XXL!

As for my shoe size, it has grown from 6 to 8 and it will never come down again. No amount of dieting will make it shrink after pregnancy.

So there it is. I am L with a shoe size 8. Big hor? As they say. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

What size are you? Anybody in size XS out there? You’ll look like a dwarf beside this giant. lol.

    Me M or S, depends on the clothes. Free size also I “sak” LOL! I hardly weigh myself, so I dunno much about my weight. As long as overall I look ok, I dun care about the clothes size. :P

    That is because you are fortunate enough to be petite. You’ll care if you are wearing XXL. Believe me. hahaha.

    You feel better if you think this way…size are getting smaller. So you need bigger size. Last time where got XS, now got XXS.

    Haha. I like this. That means my size XXL used to be an L and now that I can fit into an L perhaps it is actually an M previously. lol.

    Anyway, I am wearing size 8 shoes too.
