Today I took a little walk down to our company store. My job requires that we wear shirts embroidered with the company logo, and I decided I needed a couple of new ones for spring. I grabbed one off the shelf, and took it to the sales guy so that he could order one in my size with the appropriate embroidery. He asked what size I wanted, and I replied XXL (all my other company shirts are XL and XXL, so I felt pretty comfortable with that).
The guy actually eyes me up and down, hesitates, and says, "Are you sure? Those shirts run small." I about smacked him.
Shit like that is (one of the the many reasons) why I'm tired of being fat.
On a slightly related note, I have to share my new favorite healthy lunch item. I'm a huge fan of Trader Joes, I do a lot of organic shopping there. Recently I found their "Reduced Guilt" Pizza Primavera in the frozen section. It's a personal pizza for $1.99, and it's covered in eggplant, bell peppers, yellow squash and zucchini with a smattering of mozzerella cheese. It's got a nice flavor of herbs and spices, and really fills you up with all those veggies - look at them!
