What is worse these days is sometimes because the standard is so thin even people who we used to think were tiny start to look fat. I mean this one young lady I know is a 6 but they even make her look fat.

My recent problem besides the mysterious 11 pound weight gain I have gone thourgh since April, it should be noted that this is when my serious outdoor training started, hill, headwinds and all. Is I have to peel my normal sizes off my thighs. The jeans I tried on Friday were worse then taking off my cycling shorts ever are. Mind you I've never been known as a thick thighed woman.

However, whenever I do a race that has lots of climbing I get my butt kicked and likely always will. Never mind I have the strength to get up some of those short steep hills in a 52/15-13.
