I totally know what you mean about the "girls", mine are pretty shrimpy too. I always tell DH that when I get to my goal weight they'll be gone!
I am so bottom heavy it makes shopping hard, when I buy shirts I could fit football pads on the shoulders and the pants all look like clown pants. They fit in the butt, but then the legs have enough extra material for another pair.
But my biggest complaint is when the designers just make bigger versions of the same stuff they sell to the skinny, trendy chicks. Sorry, but at my weight I am not interested in trying to dress like Brittney Spears. Those size 3X tank tops with the spaghetti straps can go straight to the bargain rack. And I have yet to find a T shirt that is long enough to cover my belly, I am just not interested in showing off the roll hanging over my jeans! And then they figure that if I'm not Brittney, I must be Grandma, and so they offer up the polyester stretch pants with the matching stretchy t-shirts (that still don't fit right). Style isn't an option.
Every day when I get dressed I think of how great it will be when (someday) I can buy clothes that look good and fit right.
