Same here, friend. I still struggle to accept my new body (actually, I haven't accepted it at all)...I refuse to buy new appropriately-sized clothes because I haven't yet found peace with this new shape of mine. I do have to attend two weddings in a few months and I cringe at the thought of having to buy a dress four sizes up from my norm.

Ladies, the best thing you can do is to make sure you've got clothes that fit and flatter your shape. Try not to worry about feeling ashamed at the size, you will feel a million times better in a fabulous outfit made for your body type.

There's tons of information online/in magazines. Maybe try Googling for your "new shape" + "style".

And rip the tag out if you don't like the number on it. I do that sometimes.

I had to buy new clothes for work because I didn't have anything that would fit. It really does make me feel better to have clothes that fit, and it is flattering. The only problem I have is finding tops that don't make my boobs look bigger than they already are, yet don't fit me like a tent either.

@Rubies: You would die if you found out the size of the dress I bought recently for BIL's wedding. OMG! Lets just say it's in the double digits. Looks a little strange because it's form fitting up top with a super loose skirt. -.-
This baby2 is making my boobs HUGE. It's ridic.

@artbee: I'm carrying extra weight, but I draw attention to my legs. Creates an illusion that I'm a lot thinner than I actually am
