Aeropostale was uncool even when I was in high school. Forever 21 must be doing so well because of all the fat teens I see everywhere now, they got that plus size line ready for them to squeeze into. ;) When I was young the fat girls had to shop at Lane Bryant or sew their own clothes from bedsheets. It was a good incentive to not balloon. Nobody wants to be twinsies with grandma.   If you breastfeed, the weight will fall off (at least until the baby starts eating other food, which is not for six months). You can eat like the Hulk and still lose weight. I don't know what these hams are packing down their cakeholes if they are not losing weight while breastfeeding.
