Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

He couldn't smell it in Brooklyn so we figured New Jersey farted.

I was listening to the news this morning and they said that there was an odd smell in New Jersey, and I thought "what else is new?" I mean, Elizabeth alone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, that Joe Millionaire weight-loss woman isn't a size 4; she's a 2. I only know this because that commercial is on ALL THE FUCKING TIME, and she giggles in the most insipid way every time she says "This is a 2!"

I actually think that's the little blonde, not the Joe Millionaire woman, who's a brunette. t /watches too much TV

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

See, I feel freakin' skinny as a 10/12, having been above that for so long. It's hard to wrap my brain around it as OMG HUGE!!!!

I have this fantasy of fitting an 8/10 in pants (the bustline as it stands won't let dresses go much smaller than they are now), but that would require losing another 10 pounds or so.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

See, I feel freakin' skinny as a 10/12, having been above that for so long.

Yeah, if I can get back down to a size 10 post-preggo, I'll be really happy. I was a size 8 in college, but that was a combination of being 18, walking everywhere for the first time in my life, and not eating very much due to the general suckage of the dining hall.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Like Kat said, size perception is a funny thing.

I remember being in high school and being feeling like THE FATTEST GIRL EVER.

The last time I went to my parents house, I pulled out my prom dress.

I wouldn't be able to get into that thing with a shoehorn and some Crisco.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wouldn't be able to get into that thing with a shoehorn and some Crisco.

But think what other fun you could get into with those tools!

In college, I wore anything from a 6 to a 10, depending. Oh, and one pair of size 4 stretch jeans that were really pushing it. (No muffin top, but I couldn't breathe in them.) I think I can get back to the upper end of the college weight range (which was 130-140), but the lower end was the start of my depression, back when I smoked more often than I ate, and not at all realistic as a goal.
