I know what you mean about the clothes. For me, the big problem is that I fall at a size that doesn't exist -- 37, the first odd numbered size they don't make. Size 36 is still a little too small but 38 is loose. I forgot to put a belt on my shorts the day of Pride and thought I was going to end up losing them at the park at various points. I need to get back down to a 36 again.
