justlucky said:YES! Years and years of horseback riding did me in.I'm pretty much at my ideal weight now, and my calves aren't shrinking at all, so I just have to religiously try every boot that I buy, and hope that something will work. My best suggestion is to try wearing nylon socks under your boots There's a brand called "Sox-Trot" that runs about $10 (really outrageous patterns, too!), and they're made for wearing under riding boots. They might help streamline everything a bit. They work nicely for me. I know marystack.com carries them...just do a search for "socks".

Just go to a shoe repair place and they can usually stitch in a piece of elastic to make the top part of the boot wider.

Gincat said:Interesting article Duleeshab, I think men have always liked some meat on the bones. I read somewhere that for women, being thin has more to do with how they look in clothes than how they look naked!

When I was a size 6/8 I never had to worry about clothes. I liked how I looked in everything and I could buy supercheap jeans, supercheap shirts, anything for $10-50!
Suddenly when I gained a bit of weight (10-15 pounds) and I was a size 8/10 EVERYTHING changed. Clothes that were sexy or flattering or even just NICE were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to find. The super-long shirt trend has kind of helped that but seriously, it's so hard. I have to spend a LOT of money now to buy jeans that might look okay.
The REAL reason that I want to lose weight is to look better in clothes.
If someone who is only size 8/10 finds it really hard to find cool clothes THERE IS SOMETHING VERY, VERY WRONG.
I hate it!
