Just wanted to say Good Morning!

I can relate to the mental issue of increasing mass. It wasn't about that I could wear certain size clothing, but the clothes I loved and that I looked good in started to no longer fit. The seams were bursting, armpits tights, jeans turned into 'stretch' style and yes it did make me sad because I just bought some, loved others and nothing 'fit.'

The comments from others about being Miss Muscles or too big for their taste didn't bother me at all, because everyone will always have an opinion. To me, mine is the one that matters the most and it was the feeling of being uncomfortable in your own skin issue, and I've adjusted. Still TRYING to ...

For what it's worth, I think the added muscle will look GREAT on you. Might take some getting use to but I am addicted to the way I look when I lean out with bigger muscles ... makes training so much fun when you see what you're working with

Best of luck!

Thanks SOOO much Bunny - I think you hit it right on the head with what you said...that is exactly how I feel...not sure how to handle going up a size in my clothes...I guess being able to deal with that over time...I still have not allowed myself to get too big for my clothes, YET!! But, I am so glad to know that others feel the same way!! Thanks so much Bunny for sharing and for all of your continued support and encouragement. YOU ROCK!
