I'm not fat! I'm big boned!

I know what you mean. I'm huge. And while some of it is fat, a lot of me is muscle. I was down to about 200 pounds or less for a while, and I am back up to about 250. At one point, I was over 300... With about a 60 inch waist. I am gaining mass, but not much fat. I am still tipping in at a svelt mid 40s waist. The rest of me has bulked out a lot though. Legs are bigger and more solid than ever, calves, my biceps are over 24 inches.

Kilt has drastically improved the view of my own body image. I am a BIG person. I am happy with that. And while I am still a little pudgy in a few places, I am not a fat person. I am well insulated.

The kilt does other things for me, like covers up the fact I have no neck... People are to busy looking at the kilt to notice that God bolted my head directly on to my shoulders. The kilt makes me look taller... I don't know how or why, but I am your typical stubby little dwarf. (In the Tolkien sense) The kilt gives me shape and form, and defines my outline... Which pants never did. Pants just made my stubby legs look even shorter.

And everybody that knows me says it... Kilts just make me look 'right.'
