I bought clothes in Singapore!
As an American woman in Singapore, there is not one item of clothing on this whole island that fits me. If you've ever seen Asian women, well, they are size 2.

Work out or read more MFP posts . . .
I've become addicted to reading the community pages on MFP. I've been sitting here for 2 hours thinking "I should go to the gym. . . . but let me read just a few more first!"
