No wonder women are made to feel like cows, they can't decide on what size is what, why can we just buy by the inches like guys?!
you can't make a blanket statement like that.... cuz there are a LOT of other factors.... i do wear under a size 6.... and i'm still carrying a few extra pounds for me... i'm not fat... but i do need to clean up the eating and get rid of the excess baggage.... but i'm small all over.... so ya... i wear size small jerseys (usually... sometimes i have to get a medium cuz i have broad shoulders.. partly from working out).... and it's actually quite irritating to me when i do have to practically shop the children's/teens department to get clothes that fit! even with my excess baggage... i still can wear a size 0 in several brands of jeans.... at the most a 2 and when that excess baggage is gone.. those same 0's hang on me... but that's all thanx to vanity sizing.... i should really be wearing.... probably a 4... if you check sizing from the "olden" days..... if the stupid manufacturers didn't keep making smaller sizes bigger to appease the majority of the lazy public.. that love to sit around on the couch and eat fast food all week! but still want to go to the store and buy they same size clothes they used to... well guess what! they aren't... cuz the manufacturers are just making them bigger... still calling them the same size.. but making them bigger! and as for shopping in the ladies (not teens) department at mervyns or kohl's.. forget it.. they only go down to a 4.. and even in my "fat phase") they hang on me... there's just something WRONG with that! so not only does tv... and movies... and magazines add to the "thin is in"... but so do the clothing manufacturers.... vanity sizing SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but anyways.. to tell me i'm dellusional about my size cuz i wear a 0 or 2 is just as bad as all the other blanket statements.... i'm NOT dellusional... i DO have excess weight... and i eat... sure i eat healthy all week... but on weekends i totally blow it... and i blow up!

there are WAY too many considerations to make blanket statements!
