Was just thinking and realised that even as a kid I didn't fit kids clothes :eek: ... Wouldn't it be great if.... :D
 
I think I was in that size at 4 lol :/
 
Yep ... My stones matched my years from toddler til 18! I remember not being able to fit into an adult skirt when I was about 13 ... So my mum had to make my school clothes.

Today I've had a massive loss - 5lbs! That puts me at 11 stone 10lbs! I have not been that since I was about 12 years old when my mum took me to a private doctor who put me on Amphetamines ...
 
Well done lilac! 5lb is huge, I'm lucky to do that in 3 weeks! Keep going at that rate and you'll hit your target in no time. X
 
Wow!

Fantastic weight loss hun yayyyyy!!
Yep I always matched my age with my weight with the exception of 16 and 17years when I went from one extreme to another. At 18 though I was back at 18st :sigh: and yep my mum made my clothes too. She is great at sewing but has absolutely no fashion sense what so ever. As a result I hate purple and don't ever show me pin stripes! The worst thing was a pair of crimpolene, chocolate, white pin stripe trousers with elasticated waist. I hated them with a passion and no wonder I found it hard to make friends with some of the concoctions I had to wear! Also I had big feet so fashion shoes were a no go :mad: Thank god there is not a lot of photographic evidence of my younger days out there :eek:
 
Heehee! Frankie, that is just my childhood too! Plus, the clothes (aka tents) she so lovingly stitched were always several sizes too big to allow for inevitable 'expansion'. When I started secondary school I discovered Etam, Miss Selfridge and other such trendy shops but soon out-grew the range which stopped at 14, and had to defect to BHS and the like which went to 18. By age 20 I was into 'The Fat Shop' ie Evans Outsizes as it was so attractively named then, with the odd bits from Gap's men's range (t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc). Wooooo M&S kids now .... At age 51 in May. Haha! xxxx
 
I'll tell you what ... I think I'm going to start a (hopefully) cathartic thread ... Posting a childhood photo. I think it would be very bonding for us as many of us share such similar memories and 'history'. I for one dread even thinking about those shots in the album but feel a need to address those emotions and put them to bed. I may even select a particularly hideous one - probably featuring a homemade bathing costume? Watch this space ...

I remember wearing a blue swimsuit which was rouched ! (Spelling) when it got wet it held onto water and became twice as long. Very flattering. Do you remember crimplene? I had two suits made from the material , yuck. Thankfully not a lot of photos were taken in the 60's and early 70's thank goodness.
 
Crimplene my mothers material of choice aaaaaaarrgghhhh!!
