Due to training I've been losing body fat & upper body muscle but gaining trunk & leg muscle. So as I'm going to a wedding in a few weeks I thought I'd better check out my suits. So I find that all of the jackets no longer fit. They're all lose over my shoulders, which wouldn't be too much of a problem for a tailor sort out, unfortunately they're also too tight around the waist, which I think is going to be much more of a challenge to sort out. They're expensive suits too

As long as I breathe, I attack.
I cant buy trousers off the rack that fit properly anyway , if i get the right waist size they are too tight across the thighs so i end up a size up with a tight belt .

I used to get that when I was slim and wore jeans. Even with a waist size 2 inches bigger than my waist, the legs were always tight because of my big thigh and calf muscles.

I always wear loose clothing now, since wearing tourniquet-tight trousers literally nearly killed me last year!

Yes - makes me look a lot older facially. Puts years on me and people ask 'are you ill?'.
