Hi ,

You are so right. One of my mini goals (dreams) is to be able to walk in to a

'normal' size clothes shop and find things to fit me. It seems so unbelievable

to me to think that one day I may (no, let's be positive, WILL) be able to buy

clothes that I choose because I LIKE them and they look good. I have spent the

last 40+ years being grateful for anything that fits - no possibility of

style/design/colour of choice or considering if I actually like the clothes.

Just finding something to fit without looking too revolting is a minor miracle.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of being grateful for such 'small mercies' - I want to

able to enjoy clothes shopping for the very first time in my life. I figure if

the clothes I want don't exist now there are two possibilities.

1) Someone will bring out a brilliant new 'large size' range with

wonderful designs, lots of choice and well-priced

OR

2) I do all that is in my power to lose weight - mainly for the sake of

my health but there is also a goodly dose of vanity lurking in there too.

I have chosen to go for option 2 but I know that there are thousands (probably

millions) of overweight people who would find option one preferable. Surely it

HAS to come - this is more than just a 'niche' market and it HAS to be money

spinner beyond all imagination.

Cheers,

Marie
