OMG! Isn't that the truth!!!!

This is a huge pet peeve for me. California sizes in general run smaller than most states (why is this? Because there are more anorexic people out here or what?) and I absolutely HATE shopping because of this.

Ever since I gained weight and became a huge fat cow, it's just even more depressing going to the store and not finding anything that fits. Everything is way too small, and of course all of the larges are always sold out. I *think* I'm around a size 14 now, but it's hard to tell the way things are sized and how they fit.
Funny how most of the time, the large sizes are always non-existant while the non-sizes (size 0, 2, 4 WTF?) remain. This happens almost everytime I make an attempt to buy clothes.

I'm sorry, but I'm a woman and I have curves. It would be nice if stores catered to the rest of us "normal" sized people once in a while *sigh*
