As for my shape, I'm a B shape... Actually, I'm an hourglass, but I'm an over weight hourglass. My stomach is the B. I have a top "bump" then slimmer, then another bump under. Even when I was thin I had the B, it was just less noticeable.

I'm currently starting a work out plan because I made a goal that by the end of the year I want to climb a rock wall. Partly because I think it will make me feel super strong, and partly because I am terrified of falling, but at the gym they hook you to a harness. So I want to face that fear.

It's very hard for me to find clothes. They have to follow rules for my office. I'm kind of busty, and the first year I worked here, someone complained to my boss that I was showing off too much. Which is the farthest thing from the truth! I am very shy and modest about those things. So, all shirts must cover me from collar bone down. The next rule is that it has to be at least 3/4 sleeves, because I have a large tattoo of a pixie on my upper arm. Rule 3 is that if I put my arms above my head, none of my tummy can show. Put these things together and you have a clothes finding nightmare!

Oh, plus you have to add in the fact that many fashion designers do not believe that overweight women are cool or want to look cool....

So usually after the 15th or 16th store, I just give in a buy what fits...

Ironically, I live in a poor area but there are not any "close" thrift stores. They aren't hundreds of miles away or anything. But, the closest one is about 10 miles... it's not practical to go there often.

I can't do too much with my hair because of the work rules. I also can't have more than 2 earrings in. (I have 3 holes in my ears.) And no other piercings allowed. My work is extremely strict on dress code.
