Back when I had a BMI of 37, I hated shopping for clothes. I would look at a size 3xl and, i would have terrifying thoughts about that huge size not being able to fit me. It made me feel ashamed. Woman's clothing is particularly worse since clothes tend to be made small. I was forced to rely on men's t-shirts majority of my life because, they're obviously made larger and the elasticity stretches further. I was never able to shop in the woman's side of the store.
Even a sized large in the men's section made me weary. When it comes to plus sized clothing, it's a challenge to even find any clothes that are 1x and, above in my area. Even cheap clothes at the dollar and, thrift stores. Why? Because the demand for these sizes is high in my area. Majority of the population is overweight to morbidly obese.
So when new clothes arrive, they always end up being gone within a week. Basically leaving everything that's on the smaller side. Which is always is what made my shopping experience hectic. Now that im down to a BMI of 30, I can now wear a woman's Large. When I go shopping for clothes, I can actually find my size without any hassle.
No more reaching into the back of the rack for the biggest size they have. No more dealing with the limited number of plus sized clothes. No more ugly beige granny pants. No more guessing games of, "will a 2xl be too tight on me?" I'm starting to fit into normal sized clothes and, it feels great. As I continue to size down, the more cute fashionable clothing options appear.
I can finally wear a pair of 14 sizes jeans that aren't made from stretchy material. I use to be a size 24 and, I never want to go back to that point in my life ever again.
