Sorority girl wearing maternity clothes despite not being pregnant
Just a rant: Like the title says, I (23F) recently started wearing maternity sized clothes although I’m not, nor even have been, pregnant. I’m in my final year of college and joined a sorority a few years ago. Ever since then, I’ve gained a considerable amount of weight from the excessive partying/drinking lifestyle. I’ve since gained a decent sized beer belly, and that’s mostly where the weight has gone.
I was complaining about my favorite sweatpants not fitting right and my amazing roommate got me a new pair she found on clearance. However, what she thought was an “m“ for medium was actually for maternity. Since they were a gift (and she couldn’t return them anyway as they were final sale clearance), I kept them. I tried wearing them and realized that they actually fit much nicer than any of my other clothing, mainly cause of my beer belly/weight gain. Ever since, I’ve had a few maternity items (largely pants) in my wardrobe and I’m scared others will find out and think it’s weird. So far no one has commented on them but I’ve heard people gossiping/whispering about my overall gains before.
