Obesity And The Dress Code
Trying to camouflage the un-camouflageable is extremely difficult, requiring great skill and a great tailor.
Slowly, all my old “skinny” clothes had to be replaced by FAR more expensive custom-tailored clothing.

mother-in-law, a wonderful Ukrainian lady, and a FABULOUS cook, openly worked hard to fatten up the skinny
boy her daughter married. She, with my very willing help, succeeded beyond our wildest imagination.
I never went to a Doctor. I had no idea I was obese until my boys inadvertently let the fat-cat out of the bag.
