One irritating area when trying to lose weight has to do with workout clothing for me. As I am a petite individual, I find it so difficult to actually find clothes that fit. (In principle, I find it offensive to have to alter workout clothing.)
Thankfully, over the past year I have found that a couple of companies are starting to make petite workout pants. They still assume that a petite woman will have the same top size and shape as a taller woman, which is not true... if it is supposed to hit at the hips, it shouldn't be hitting at the bottom of the hind end, in my opinion.
I was very happy to see that Nike (http://www.nike.com/) started carrying petite workout pants. The only problem I have found with them is that they don't keep a lot in stock and seem to be out or on backorder each time I find a pair I want to order.
Another company, that I randomly recieved a booklet from in the mail, also appears to carry petite workout clothes: Athleta (http://www.athleta.com/). I have not yet ordered from them. If any one has tried them out, would love to know if their workout pants can actually stand up to long distance running.
