Even before I started losing weight, it was impossible to find flattering clothes, because everything is made to disguise the fact that you're fat. It's kind of hard to feel like going out and being social when all you have to wear is polyester and sackcloth (or something similar).
Sure, some people are OK with being heavier - and that's their prerogative. I certainly have no business putting them down for their reason(s) - just as they have no reason to put me down for wanting to lose weight.
Anyways, I was going to say that no matter what the situation is, it's always nice to have options when it comes to clothes. And considering that so many clothing stores that carry plus sizes only go up to a 24W, and Old Navy is going up to a 26W, well, I like that.
If it means that more women can go in there, and come away with bags filled with clothes for themselves - as opposed to bags filled with tchotchkes and clothes for others - then, even better, I say!!
