Clothing ---- rammble
So I have spent all weekend looking for size 8 shorts and capris. Yesterday went to probably 15 yard sales and 10 consignment / thrift shops. I even sent a message to my friends on facebook letting them know that I was looking for size 8 clothes and if anyone knew anyone who was cleaning out I would be glad to buy them. I have bid on several lots on ebay and lose out at the last minute. I have been checking out craigslist 3-4 times a day. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?
It's frustrating because when I was bigger I could never find anything in my size . Now I still can't. I am finding 6's and 10's but no 8's. There are jeans and such available but the weather here won't start cooling until October. Most of the chain stores have already brought in their fall clothing.
So, If you see me out and about and I have the "sag" going on I appologize in advance. I am working on it.

I'm really surprised you couldn't find any at thrift stores. I find it much easier to find my size in thrift stores now than when I was really heavy. Unfortunately, I'm a size 8 too or I'd send you some of my stuff.
You can alway**** the thrift stores again in a week or so, because they constantly get new stuff in. In the meantime, how about going to Walmart or someplace like that. It won't be as cheap as a thrift store but you should be able to get one or two pair of shorts for not very much money. If you get something like denim shorts you can wear them several days in a row and no one really notices you're wearing the same pair of shorts.

I can so relate to this, I am still in a size 18/20 and although easier to find now, it's tough, everything is a 16 (too tight) or a 22 and way too big. I finally hit some clearance racks at Kmart and got some nice denim capris for $6.00 a pair, they won't fit long but maybe I can get through the summer until I need jeans again, it'll cool off here in about 8 weeks.
