2001-07-18 - 9:46 p.m.� I wore a new outfit to work today. It's a dress with a little button up t-shirt thingy to wear over top of it. At least five people complimented me, told me I looked really nice today, and that the dress really suited me. Two more people, one of whom hadn't seen me in a month, told me that I've really lost a lot of weight recently. When I was contemplating whether or not to buy this outfit, I stood in the dressing room and stared at my reflection for a good long time. I could see the other dress I'd brought in to try on, identical but one size smaller, hanging on the wall. All I could think about was how much fatter I have got since last time I shopped for clothing. I scrutinized every bulge and roll of fat, angry at myself for allowing more weight to make its way onto my already large body. I decided to buy the outfit, not because I thought it looked great on me, but because I decided that it hid enough of my fat to be "flattering" ("flattering" was the word used by the way-too-thin-to-be-working-in-a-plus-size-store saleswoman). So what does this mean? Either I was really right about this outfit's ability to conceal my newest fat acquisitions, or I was really wrong about the need for it to do so. I tend to believe the former, but it is nice to have the latter as a viable possibility.
