While I was out of the house yesterday doing errands (we have no duty for 2 days, Thursday and today), I received a text message from a colleague GJ. She asked me, “What is your size?” It came at 1:15PM. While I was typing my response, my mobile phone rang, and it was GJ. She asked me what my tee shirt size is. I kidded, “Extra large” but she said, “you are not stout, why XL?” I responded, “You know my size, why do you still ask?” and we both laughed out loud. She reiterated that I must join the reunion. I told her, “Can you hear my voice? How do I sound?” She said, “Like having stuffy nose and productive cough”. “Precisely”, I said, “I am sick, so don’t force me to come. My immune system is so low”. She agreed, “Yes, you should not be in a crowd”. GJ understood me; I know my colleagues and classmates (of 3) will understand me as well. GJ then told me that we can have our own class reunion (of 4) after the grand reunion. I said yes, as long as I am well. How about you, what is your size? I am small, but I would like a medium size.

hmm! I think not, my friend. I don't know how you may look like, but I think you are of regular size.

I am a small too, but sometimes I buy medium size sweaters because I like them a bit larger than my size.

@ridingbet I agree, I also like small T-shirts, but not too thigh and too short. I do not want to look ridiculous.

I like medium when I use sweaters, but small t shirts. I do not like the extra small t shirts, the ones that show one's belly. I look sarcastically at some women who wear very tight and small blouses/t shirts that "flaunt" their body figure. They look funny.

that is okay, but when you wear big t shirts, I think you should not use those tight-fitting tee's because you will look like a spring roll about to burst.

I think I am average size. I'm okay with that. I used to perceive myself as being larger than I actually am. I think that most women struggle a lot with body image. But as I age, I'm just trying to be healthy physically and more accepting of mu body type and size,

welcome to mylot. i have gained weight, but i am still of the small or average size when it comes to tee shirts. i think we look bigger when photographed; it conceals our real body structure.

@ridingbet Thank you! I agree about photos, they are not always a very accurate representation of how a person looks face-to-face.

LOL . . I guess you have some parts (since you are not fat) that are really huge - that is why you want XL t-shirt, kabsat! Now your post reminds me of my article about small, medium, and large bananas! Mine is medium . . . I mean the size of my t-shirts!

hahah! Bad, kabsat! I have a big heart and it does not need an extra large size. hehehe! I am medium, really. and yes, I recall your medium size... bananas! and if I wear XL t shirts, I will look like a "tikling" ( the flightless bird where our national dance 'tinikling' originated from).

I am a short, nana.... was very little all my life, up until the last few years I have started putting on weight. I have had to work to keep it off now. I used to smoke years ago, and I don'tknow if that has anything to do with the weight gain or not. But I try to stay ahead of it. I used to not even have to worry about what I ate.. but now I can look at a candy bar and gain ten pounds : smiles ::

yes, I posted that picture on BB. I think you really wear big size tee shirts. I would rather see you wear big than those medium sized shirts and you cannot breathe normally.

I'm really only a medium (though a little larger round the waist than I used to be) but I like to wear XL in tee-shirts because I prefer them to be loose and airy.

when I wear t shirts bigger than my size, I roll the sleeves at 2 inches up. That makes me boyish too, which I like.

Even though I know my sisters size, I always call her and ask her too. It depends on the clothing but I prefer Large for my top and Medium for my bottoms. But then it varies between brands also so it's hard to say.

Many of us like things not to fit so tight, so would ask for a larger size than needed.

I remember the year we discovered that XL anywhere else in the world won't fit Americans. We bought dozens of T-shirts for a trade show but none of our Americans would (or could) wear them.

I think the XXL is for those who are so big, with big bellies, who are so tall, or the extremely obese. The XL I think is right for the regular-sized Americans?
