Part 2 of the taboo.

PLUS-SIZE STORE.

DUN DUN DUN.

I never considered these. I never considered that I was plus size. And I might've held the stereotype that there was nothing stylish in these stores (For that, I apologize). But seeing as I was desperate and I just want a pair of pants that doesn't feel like a torture device, I walked in.

I found an ENTIRE rack of jeans in my size. They were a bit expensive...I mean, $60 a pair. I don't buy anything for $60 per pair. That's absurd. But then I found an ENTIRE CLEARANCE rack of my size! I picked a few (I mean really, I've never seen so many size 14 pairs of jeans in one place, in my life) and tried them on.

(Sidenote, they also have graphic tee's. I LOVE graphic tee's. And they aren't tight. They're modest. Amen.)

Lo and behold, the perfect pair was found. You know what I mean. The pair of pants that you put on and you just know. It fits in the right places, you can breathe properly, your pelvis isn't curving inward. You feel like the heavens are shining down on you. You're debit card starts glowing. (Ok, I'm joking about that one. My debit card starts screaming in agony when I buy something.)

Anyway. I looked at the tag. $20. If you don't know, that's cheap for a pair of jeans. I smiled at my luck and took my purchase to the counter. The (very friendly, mind you) sales clerk engaged me in a conversation about my purchase and my life in general, actually. Then she said, "Oh, good news. These are ten dollars."

I almost starting dancing the disco in the middle of the store.

Oh and...they have one of those rewards cards. I love those.

So tell me, why I have I been agonizing over jeans for so long?

Here's the big question: Am I going to try to lose weight?

I don't know. I think dieting and making a big deal out of weight loss is stressful. I mostly just try to make good decisions all the time. Everything in moderation, you know. So I might try to make more of an effort to exercise more. Or eat less sweets. But really, as long as I'm healthy and happy...I see no reason to stress about weight. It's no big deal. :)
