Goals: Buy Clothes at a Regular Store…Not a Plus Size Store
November 23, 2015Buy Clothes at a Regular Store…Not a Plus Size Store: The struggle is real; plus size clothes shopping can be a major hassle! The frustration of shopping on the "other side", limited styles in the store, or even having to shop online because the plus size collection is only sold there (and then later having to return it if it doesn't fit).
Not only is the struggle real, the stress is real too - according to The NPD Group, "63% of plus size women report shopping for plus sized clothing is more stressful than shopping for regular clothing".
It comes as no surprise that one of the top logged goals in the ObesityHelp Goal System is to buy clothes at a regular store, not a plus-size store! After WLS, when the weight starts coming off, and clothing sizes start changing rapidly, it is truly a fulfilling non-scale victory (NSV) to move beyond the dream of shopping in a "regular store" to achieving it.

I was shopping with my daughter when she was home for Christmas at Sam's Club. I saw a really cute sweater and immediately went for the 2X. It was way too big so we started looking for a 1X, no luck. Last resort was a Large. I put it on and to my amazement, IT FIT!
While looking in the mirror, my daughter told me "You can smile Mama, it's ok". BEST AHA MOMENT EVER, NO MORE X'S! - mamafox21
