At 22, you're still way young enough to be trendy and wear fashionable clothing. Heck, at 32, that's what I'm doing. Hoochy mama all the way at times! There is absolutely nothing wrong in wanting to dress nice and wearing clothes that are nicely tailored to fit. The difficulty is in finding them in smaller sizes. Many retailers are catering to the larger, averaged sized woman that wears 14-16. I'm a petite size 2.....children's are too short, junior's too long, ladies/misses don't have enough hip room and are boring. I do a lot of hemming!

Also, at 22, you are still trying to find yourself. You have to change many things about yourself to be happy with who you are. It's inevitable. Even without surgery, as you mature, things change. Change is a good thing, not something to shy away from. If you don't evolve, you become stagnant. Those that are afraid of your changes are generally the ones who are the most afraid and insecure about themselves. You are going from a catapiller to a butterfly. That's a big process. Enjoy it, work the through whatever agony that it may cause. Stay true to yourself and wonderful things can happen.
