I think so. Not just because I am self concious about being plus sized. It is the worst when I have to shop for clothing, they have skinny minny sales associates who have no idea the troubles plus sized ladies have. They tell me how great the clothes look, but I HAVE A MIRROR. There isn't a lot to choose from that doesn't look like a tablecloth or a nun habit. Bigger and Better discusses these issues and more.

Have you ever noticed that in places like walmart you have to walk through all the skinny cloths at are in syle and cool to get to the nun habits and table cloths that they call plus size? That is what depresses me the most. you cant just go right to the plus size and pick out a table cloth to wear. No they shove it in your face like Oh dont you wish you were thinner so you could get something pretty that doesnt make people think you should be a curtian or furnature?

When I was at my heavyist - 380 - I was window shopping and walking into one of those stores that caters to very small women. Immediately a salesgirl rushed over to me and loudly was saying, "We don't have your size in here!" which she repeated several times. I couldn't believe the ignorance of this woman. I said, "I was shopping for a gift for a friend but don't worry -- I'll buy it somewhere else."
