    You are going to need suits for work, SP.

    After another 6 months of this diet I will be about 30 inch chest and will be able to wear any clothes.

    30" chest? are you aiming to be a broom handle?
  • I'm a 42" chest and i've never found a problem buying a suit..

    You probably won't need a suit for work also.. they're a lot less common than you think

    The whole idea of an interview is to present you in your best light, whilst giving the best impression.

    I bought a new suit after graduating to wear to interviews. I wore it twice in a week (for interviews) then it never saw the light of day for a year... it's just the way it goes, but it was part of me getting a job and it was worth it

    Trouble with suit jackets are that because I am very broad across the shouders I can never get a comfortable jacket.
    How about a strait jacket, no problem fitting into one of those !! :rotfl:

    A 30" chest?? My dog wears a 34" collar.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.

    Having a 40 inch chest is a pain too as you can not get many clothes to fit.

    I am near killing myself eating 1200 calories a day as it is.

    If you've having difficulty find clothes to fit a 40" chest then you looking in the wrong shops. 38" - 40" is considered medium, so 30" must be extra, extra small and be even harder to find!

    Many Places I go in only sell jackets to 40-42 max,

    I look at [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] in a suit anyway so I am not keen on going for interviews as it is. Maybe soon if I can be that bit thinner I will look and feel much better.
