Is there anyone comfortable with buying clothes in a store anymore?
Is there any chubby girl that is comfortable with it?
What about underwear?
I feel like buying underwear in a store is even worse.
I'm a girl of bigger size. I never fit in anything small ever. Puberty gave me a J-Lo butt but didn't spare me from having the rest of my body fit the new curves.
Online shopping became a thing when I was out of the woods, when I was old enough to have the damage of judging, skinny girls in trendy shops embedded in my mind.
There is nothing worse than standing next to your friends that pick the cutest outfits, and you just know that the biggest size in the store is maybe a 6.
Well, there is. Having a saleswoman come up to you, looking you up and down and telling you they don't cater to your size... Have been there. I cried for the rest of the day.
This is why I love online shopping.
Sure, we can go into details about how it's terrible for the environment to order things and send them back... But the feeling of safely trying on stuff at home?
Not having to stand in front of mirrors that, combined with the harsh lighting, make you hate yourself?
Being able to take the clothes off and just send them back if they don't fit, without the looks of a skinny woman on you?
It is indescribable. It changed my life and my relationship with my body.
Sadly, sometimes you are out with your boyfriend... And men rarely struggle with their body image. They definitely can as well, don't get me wrong, but a sweetheart like Spencer that never has to watch his calories because he stays a skinny pretty boy no matter what? He isn't fully aware of how women still compete with each other when in stores.
