> I keep gaining weight, but I don't think it looks too bad. I'm not sure though.
<<Congratulations on not being obsessed with being thin, with being happy with your current self!I agree with what one of the posters said, though, it becomes worrisome if it affects your health. Is your diet healthy? Veggies, fruits, lean meats....If this is purely an aesthetic thing for you, then you go girl for not obsessing about thinness like so many people(me) do. I just read an article in Health magazine that other people generally think you look thinner than you perceive yourself to be, too....

> I keep outgrowing my clothes though. I just can't decide whether dieting is worth the trouble.
<<Replacing clothes is expensive. Then dieting become a practical issue. Is forgoing food on a regular basis worth not spending so much extra cash on clothes? :-)Again, way to go on being flexible about what's pretty and what's not. Think of a little weight gain can make you voluptuous and curvy, rather than fat and ugly. Attitude. It really does matter. :-)
