I have some 36" shorts, because they were the only things on the shelf when I bought them. I'm a 31-32"....fucking irritating.

I wear a 34 as well. I have wide hips, good for delivering children.

It's not that 34 is fat. It's fat when your waistline measurement is bigger than your length measurement. It's like seeing pants for people who are like 44 waist 32 inseam. who the hell fits in that shit?

It's fucking impossible these days to find clothes with a good fit if you're in good shape. Usually I have to order shit online to get what I want, but paying $40 for a short-sleeved shirt gets old.

seems like most off-the-peg trousers are made for short fat people, even in the uk. it's a mini-nightmare trying to find trousers when you're 6'4" with a 36" waist - either they have the style/colour i want but not the size, or the other way around. it was even worse when i was younger with a smaller waist

No doubt. I saw a pair of pants I wanted so bad that I actually just got a smaller size. Now if only I could get myself to lose some weight.

In Greece, 38 percent of women are obese, compared with 34 percent in the United States, the group said. Worrying trends are emerging even in countries with low rates of obesity. In France, obesity in women rose from 8 percent in 1997 to 11.3 percent in 2003, and from 8.4 percent to 11.4 percent in men.
