Should these stores exist?
Today I went and bought some clothes. The only store that has clothes that will actually fit me is the Casual Male Big & Tall. It takes over an hour to get there and I go to it once a year, or try to, if I can afford it. The clothes are expensive! BUT, they’ve got clothes that will actually fit me! So, reluctantly, I pay for them…well, tonight Dad did because he bought them as an early birthday gift for me (my birthday is next week, yay, will be 21, AND I’M NOT going to get drunk).
Anyways, back to my thoughts, while I was at the store today, I kept thinking, with stores like these…whats the point in losing weight? I KNOW, I KNOW, I honestly don’t plan on NOT trying to lose weight, but thats the thought I had. I don’t think I’m making any sense, lol. But, it just got me to thinking about how much fat people are catered to, I mean, fast food, drive thru’s, fat people clothing stores, all-you-can-eat buffets, etc.
What are your thoughts?

we must be clear on our own goal, losing weight is to restore our health & self-confident, forget about those fat people clothing stores, all-you-can-eat buffets, these are individual preference, decision still in our own hands.

Very true Vincent. But we develop a taste for these buffets and fast food, the high salt flavor and the high fat content. If we grew up eating them, we will develop foods with such high fat and sodium contents and it takes a while for our mind to accept foods with lower fat and lower sodium levels.
Now, on the subject of losing weight…you’re still fat, even though these stores exist. Still unhealthy and still miserable…even though you look FABULOUS :D! These stores only mask the reality (like so much in American culture….)
My two cents
