No Moo Moos for Me, Thanks.

I am so tired of being punished by fashion designers for being fat! What am I, blind?! Seriously, you think just because I have a big ass I should be denied beautiful, well made, natural fiber, affordable clothes? The only thing you can find for me to wear is a nasty, floral, polyester tents?

What's with picking the absolute worst pieces from your regular line of apparel to make into the plus size line? Wal-Mart doesn't sell plus sized v-neck or crewneck t-shirts without some kind of nasty ruffle or lace, or embellishment. Target had lovely semi-sheer lightweight layering-style tees this summer, but offered them in putrid pea green, gaudy gold, and pukey puce. The simple cotton tank and t-shirt dresses by Style & Co. at Macy's were not translated at all into a plus sized option, but you could buy an array of lovely two ply polyester numbers guaranteed to make you sweat like the disgusting hog you are. Sweat-dampened polyester stuck in the crack of your ass. You'll stop traffic, alright.

It's sad, depressing, and demeaning. Fashion is supposed to make you feel wonderful, not amplify your insecurities and imperfections.

To be fair, this is not the case with every designer's plus size line. Eileen Fisher makes absolutely fabulous clothes from fibers found in nature: cotton, linen, silk, cashmere, wool. These materials are classic. Pieces constructed from these fabrics stand the test of time. Only one problem...Eileen Fisher doesn't come cheep. Neither do Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, or Michael Kors. The few items I do own by these designers are usually last season final clearance items I obtain at 75% off.

Sure, it's my fault I'm fat. I should not have ignored my bad eating habits and lack of exercises for so long. I take full responsibility for my extra layers of blubber. In fact, I have joined the gym and am actively trying to turn it all around. I have gone down a pant size. Still, I keep motivated by going to Macy's and browse through the 'regular' size clothes to inspire my continued motivation. Look at all the beautiful clothes I could wear if only I were thin! Screw your health! You could be wearing THAT if you lose the weight!

Its terribly unhealthy to be overweight. Obesity should not be condoned. However, I don't feel individuals struggling with being fat should be punished further by forcing them to wear god-awful clothing. Perhaps if individuals felt better about themselves thanks to a beautiful dress or great fitting sweater, they would be more compelled to take better care of themselves.
