I went clothing shopping this weekend. Went to one of my trustworthy stores that HOLDS PLUS SIZE FASHION FOR PLUS SIZE LADIES.
I haven't actually went shopping in a year for new clothes from the mall. I've just made do with what I currently have. Anyway, the MAX size this store carries is a 3x shirt and 24 size jeggings. And to much disappointment, the 3x shirts fit PERFECTLY and the 24 size jeggings BARELY fit! Then it dawned on me! If I don't continue tracking my eating habits and if I don't make major changes; I'm going to OUTGROW this store!
The shock from that just made me sink into a hard reality check. I remember when I VERY FIRST realized I could only shop in the plus size section when going to the mall. When I first learned not all stores carry my size. When I learned to take more feminine looking men's shirts from XL AND XXL sizes in the mall and to add jewelry to make them more girly. I was in highschool when I learned these lessons of a fat girl. How to be fashionable. How to honor that side of me. How to look cute and feel pretty at my sizes. Age 15 to 30. I learned to shop for the size XL -XXXL; size 18 - size 24! Ever since puberty hit, I've been a plus size girl. What the heck comes after plus size if you can't shop the plus size section anymore?!
Now a friend informed me after my shock, that torrid does carry size 5x! I was actually shocked. More power to Torrid for carrying extra sizes. But I really want to ask them WHY? I figured I'd be reduced to Walmart sizes and sweats if I passed up size 26 jeans.
Torrid is so expensive! And this is seriously just my opinion. But if you can spend $120 on a size 5x jacket... why not spend it on bettering your health? Why hide behind the makeup, leather jackets, dyed hair? And instead shed it all and be real with oneself? Spend the money on gym memberships, workout classes, nutrition coach, online coaching, workout dvds, better foods.
Again, this is my own inner-monologue. I'm not coming for anyone.
But I am choosing to quit wearing makeup, cute clothes, curly dyed hair, fake nails, jewelry. And instead be workout ready. Puma shoes, leggings, hoodies, pony tails.
There are enough fashions today to make it work appropriate.
Everyone has their wake up call, and this was MINE.
I remember the first time I started losing weight. I wanted to shop in the NON PLUS SIZE section. Now I want to stay in the dang mall!! haha.
I really hope this did not offend anyone. It was my own personal moment.
