Gastric bypass question? (family member)?

Hi everyone,

A close family member got that procedure gastric bypass done. Well when she got this procedure she didn't tell anyone ( which was fine her business). She started losing weight rapidly. When we told her she looked good, she would say I been working out Or I know I look good. Then turns around and tell all of us we have horrible eating habits lol and we should excersice more . Well long story short we all found out she got it done. All lot of us were angry how she was treating everybody when she was losing all this weight. Now she is this monster!!! She called me the other day out of nowhere and asked what size pants are you I said 9 she's was like wow that's big. She goes around and gives all her clothes that don't fit her to the plus size women in the family and say here these are my fat clothes they'll fit you. I understand she proably grew up feeling bad sometimes about herself but, no one in the family has never made front of her. I just want to know why is she being so mean? Seriously she has became a very hurtful person. We are very happy for her weight loss and very supportive but, It just makes me so upset that she lied for a year and stared picking on everyone's weight and eating habits meanwhile she didn't workout or stop her eating habits. Any ideas? Thank guys!!!!!

Clothing for large busted, but NOT plus sized women…?

I am a large busted young women and it has been very very very difficult for me to find clothing that fits my body. I am a size 14/16 MISSES but have a large bust (bra size is 40DD).

Any clothing stores out there for large busted YOUNG(21) adults?
