Size Matters

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Size matters so much so that they can be changed - not a new blog topic per se, (<a href="http://yourhealtheducator.blogspot.com/2010/05/truth-is-in-your-closet.html">vanity sizing</a>) but another chance to talk about it.  I am, in case you didn't catch on, referring to clothing sizes.  It may be the same for men, but a man will have to tell me because I have not been wearing men's clothes for the last several decades and as such wouldn't have noticed.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Women's clothing, I have seen and others have confirmed, has gotten bigger while the number on the tag stays the same or even gets smaller.  Well, this is true in children's clothing as well - or girls.  You see we are all getting bigger and trying really hard to deny it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was thumbing through a popular magazine recently and saw one of those weight loss stories that have the before and after facts for the weight loser.  This particular one said "before - 164 lbs size 10"  and "after- 137 lbs size 4."  To which I reacted out loud, "WHAT?"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">You see,  I once wore sizes ten and twelve - at the time my weight was maxed out at 149 - I have also worn a size 4 in the past and I weighed about 110.  So yeah, that is just crazy math people - crazy math.</span>
