Ten years ago I bought a suit. It was my favorite, even though I did not attain the hourglass figure of the model.

On me the suit looked more like this:

I now weigh what I weighed when I bought that suit.
Oddly, the weight isn’t where it was 10 years ago. The belly and thighs were snug and the jacket was loose.
This is the suit today in 2026.

You’d think I’d be thrilled the thighs are baggy. But now I’ve got this upper body bulk that is just exaggerated by the only other thin spot, which is my waist, and I’ve gone from long-waisted to short-waisted so now the pants are high-waisted and I am low-bosomed and it looks worse than before.
