General

I can't be the only one with fat insecurities. For example, a large portion of plus size clothing, especially bathing suits, expect me to have either a huge rack or a shelf of an ass. But it all goes to my gut! It makes shopping for clothes even more of a pain. I want to here other people's stories about this

Bonus points if you have yo-yoing weight and the new gain comes back in an unexpected way. Example: lost some bulk in my thighs, regained it in my gut :/

There's no right or wrong place to be fat. The clothes manufacturers have a hard time because, unlike thin people, people at the same weight can be built totally differently.

You both make marvelous points. I suppose back to school shopping just got to me. You try on so many clothes, you start to think things are wrong with you and not that you just haven't found the right ones.
