Confession: Discrimintation pisses me off.

I went into a store over here called Mervins and I was pissed off to find that they do not carry my current size, (18). They carried only up to 16 and for a moment I cringed at myself for no longer being able to fit the 14s and I got upset. Thats fine, I told myself, because Ive been doing well and hopefully soon I can buy the size 16s. Designers out there want you to purchase their high priced items, yet they cant even acknowledge that not everyone is a size 0. Thank God for ebay. I can purchase the high quality stuff for bargain prices.

Today is my first day off in a very long time. I got all my fabulous make up in the mail(brand new on ebay and all for under $10 and in the stores I would have paid about $70!) and I have been glamming it up. Today I feel all sherbety, I did my eye shadow in a light pink and then coated it with a darker pink. It looks HOT!! I sent my mom some very expensive roses for Mothers Day because I know back home my sister wont really be doing anything for her and well, my mom does allot for everyone so she deserves them.

Now Im off to clean the house really well. I need to do allot of laundry including towels, blankets and my clothes. Im debating whether I should just load up the car and take it all to the mat where I can get it done in under an hour or so versus staying here and just keep walking back and forth. Exercise is good but the washers and dryers are way small. I dont know.

I hope everyone out there is having a great Friday!

Sorry I've been MIA, it seems like you were too for a while. Finishing school up took so much out of me but it's done now (yay!) I'm glad you are working, and learning to love yourself, even if the designer brands have a cut-off line for sizes.

I know what you mean. I hate it that they have plus size stores. I refuse to go into them. It's discrimination. Honestly! When the average American is size 14 - you'd think they get with the program...sorry - had to vent!

I'm fluctuating between a 16 and 18.....thank goodness a few stores carry that size right along with the 2's and 3's.
