--- NOT MY SIZE ---

So you bought something because it looked soo good.
It wasn't your size
and it didn't fit.
But there wasn't another one like it.
So if it's too small
you'll take it home and let out the seams.
if it's still too tight -
You'll remove the buttons
and cut a few slits.
and if that doesn't help
maybe you can just diet until it fits.

But on the other hand if the garment is too big
You buy it anyway - even though it's not the right fit.
Why ?
Because it looks fantastic.
it sparkles, it gleams
it smiles back and fairly takes your breath away.
So what if it's 3 sizes too big.
Buy it anyway.
You can wash it in hot water
and hope that it shrinks.
If that doesn't work
you can put pins in it
and wear a belt.
Oh your ideas of making it fit
are limitless.

But ten years from now -
it still doesn't fit.
And you have become so exhausted
and tired of trying to make it work for you.
You don't believe in returns
and you've foolishly convinced yourself
that there is not another garment on the rack
that is as good looking and good feeling as this.

WRONG

You've made your own prison
you've forged your own cage
You've tied your own leash
you've become your own slave

You're mental deluision
that only this woman or man
is what your life needs
and that only he can

bring you true happiness
make your life bright
but the truth is the oppposite
you've sealed your own plight

So why do we do this
when it never did fit ?
There's so many garments
that line every store
you're thinking there's less
when in truth there is more

I have been married 4 times
and the only regret that I have
in my life is that I spent too
much of my life with the wrong
men. It's like buyinng a piece
of clothing that really doesn't
fit - but you won't bring it back,
or get a different one. So you
struggle with the discomfort of
it being either too tight or
so damn big - that you look like
a lost blob in it.

The rack is full of other better
fitting clothing - but I was so
busy trying to alter this one -
and force it to fit and look good,
until one day, I realized - I was
wasting my time.

When the fit is right and the
chemistry is good - the passion
never dies - but only gets
stronger with time. I know.
I've been there and done that>

This time I did it right.
I quickly dumped all the wrong fits,
and held out until I found a perfect
fit.

As a woman, you should know that
clothes shopping can be fun.
And a good fit - makes you look and
feel like "magic".

Happy Shopping.
