I went shopping a few weeks ago, and I learned the hard way that size 28 has pretty much disappeared. That's my size. I used to go into Walmart even and find myself welcomed by an array of jeans.

They just aren't there anymore. You're lucky to find a 26. There were a few 25's in the LEI's. But nothing in my size.

So I was depressed that I couldn't find anything that fit me, my best friend in the entire world and I went to the mall. To Layne Bryant, Debb, and all those stores that serve big girls. And I was even to fat for those stores. Strange that they also only cater to people up to the same size as Walmart.

I was so depressed OMG.

Amber was with me, and I love her. In that moment, at every fat girl store in the mall, nothing fit me, you can only face that with your best friend. As only a best friend could, she suggested the the maternity shop.

Nobody else could have suggested that, there I was able to buy jeans, in size 3x, with the stretchy prego girl tops. They fit me.

I cried.

So a light at the end of the tunnel. . .

I got an email from The Avenue. Sizes up to 32.

I'm so happy to see this email, I can't wait till i have the extra cash. I just have one question Avenue, as my new hero, the store that carries my size.. Why are all the models size 14 and under. Id really like to shop online after that last horrific experience, but clothes that look good on a size 14 aren't going to go well with my saggy stomach.
