Fitting into Size XS Shirts

10:03 AM (of Thursday, February 20th, 2025)

Today is Wednesday, February 19th, 2025. Today, I worked pretty much all morning to get some work done and submitted before the workday started. I woke up at around 3 AM and just worked until I completed the project at around 9-10 AM. I also exercised and walked outside for around 30 minutes during that time. I ended up completing all of my workouts today, except for 10k steps, of which I only took around 9k steps. It was close though.

After around 9-10 AM, of course I just continued working until the end of the day. Nothing much really happened. I had a meeting at 5 PM and that was nice and fun. Some bugs and issues were assigned to me at the end of the day, and I worked on those for a bit, I stopped when I couldn't resolve the issues right away.

Then I went to Marshall's at night. I bought some dried fruits and edamame. There were a ton of dried mulberries stocked, so I ended up buying two bags. They are quite expensive at $4 a bag, I might buy more later, but two is good for now.

Out of curiosity, I also went to the shirt section to try out some shirts. I went to the small shirt section, and picked out a few different ones to try out. They all fit me, and were even a little loose. Buried in the small shirt rack, was one single XS size shirt. There were no other XS size shirts in the entire store as far as I'm aware, I looked. There's no XS section, there's just a small, medium, large, and XL, and XXL, and so on, but no XS section.

Just for fun, I brought this XS shirt with me to the tryout rooms. I was super stunned to find that this shirt fit me to a tee, no pun intended. How? I am not even thin. I have a lot of fat in my stomach left, so I was surprised that this fit me perfectly. No, I am not even sucking up my stomach or anything in the photo. It's not even tight on me, it fit me just fine. So odd.

I think I just have a smaller frame than most people. I think maybe I am supposed to be 120 pounds as my optimal weight, maybe? Maybe it's an Asian thing? I have a big head, fat stomach, flabby fat under my arms, I'm not thin. I don't look anywhere close to thin, and yet i fit in this shirt just fine. How is that?

What else did I do today? I did all of my brain training, all of my exercises (except 10k steps), my vegan activism posts, and of course I worked. I think overall today was a good day. At night time, I did indulge in my vices a bit, I brought my laptop back into my room, inexplicably and unjustifiably too. I could have finished taking 1k more steps, which would have just been walking for around 10 minutes, but I didn't. I read one manga chapter, and then fell asleep.

Anyway, that was my day today.
