Its weird, I come on here, start a blog, and then I get discouraged and erase it.
LOTS of shit going on, not really diet wise, although I do have some pet peeves there, so I'll get start with that stuff, since this is a weight loss blog(well, its supposed to be anyways!)
Ok I dont like get how if you were to go into a store and it was divided by race, this would be illegal, yes yes? Or if it wasnt illegal there would be SOMEONE trying to change this but yet, EVERY department store made in America sections of the fat people from the rest of the world. At Kohls, they dont even have a sign that says PLUS SIZED. Its just a picture of someone heavy set and its just so offensive the way all the other clothing is organized all nicely and the plus sized clothing is just thrown onto a rack as if to say,"Youre fat, so we owe you shit!" I just get so flustered and irratated. Why is it ok to be a druggie or an alchoholic or even a friggin child molester but God forbid you not be a size 2 and the the world kind of either shuns you or forgets about you entirely?
OK. Im done.

I hear ya girl! Most shops here are more discrete about their Plus Sized sections luckily... though it is still awful having to shop in those sections, you feel like everyone is looking at you as if you are a second rate person. I hated it.
I know, its retarded! Even when I do lose all my weight, I'll still feel bad for the "others."
New to your blog, but I have to add an 'amen.' Here (Memphis) they add insult to injury by having the "Women's Department" right next to "Petites". That's a feel good moment, lemme tell ya.
LIke I didn't already feel like enough of a frump.

I'm new to your blog, too, and you're dead on about the separtaion of "average" sizes and "plus"... it rots. I had a student a few years ago who was upset that she couldn't shop at the GAP stores, only online because of her size. It demoralized her.
