WELCOME BACK, by the way!!!
This is a really good topic. This happens to me all the time. Why is it when we're by ourselves we think that we look just gorgeous, but when put into public with the "competetion" our self-esteems drop a tragic amount?
I always tell myself that it isn't going to happen, but I just can't help it sometimes...
As Sabrina said, hardly anyone is a size 4 tall, including me. Sometimes I have to get jeans in almost the highest available size JUST so that they're long enough. But then they're hu-mun-go at the waist....Oh, why are clothes so tiny these days?
I used to be able to fit into S/M shirts pretty easily but now the XLs are about the size of the S the past...why is this???
