The plus size debate hits home.

Hey,
        So I know alot of you will be aware that especially in the UK there is a massive debate on as to if the words "Plus Size" should be banned, as you may or may not know I am a "plus size" girl, but then I think most women these days are plus size as, while researching plus size brackets this morning I was horrified  to find that most online shops I visited started plus size ranges for women's UK size 14's. Let me tell you I would kill to be a size 14 instead of the size I am!!

I don't find the words plus size offensive infact I couldn't care less what bracket i get put in i'm fat I know I am, I dislike being fat so I am doing something about it, what I do Despise is that shops have such massive differences in sizing, I range in 3 dress size bracket's depending on what shop I am in or ordering from, I also despise that because I am a plus size that 90% of the clothes available are either,
A) Black
B) Gran's curtain floral
C) 40's- 50's style rocker skirts
D) Just plain frumpy
E) Way too expensive

I want to be able to know what size I actually am because my body doesn't change 2 dress size's by walking two minutes to a different shop, I also want fashionable clothing, i'm 25 and i'd like to dress my age not have to dress in clothing to suit me in ten years time.

I also have a difficult Bra size and because of that I have to spend a fortune on decent Bra's or just bare bad fitting decent priced ones. I'm pissed off with being put in a bracket where you have to spend a fortune to clothe yourself and where you never know what size you truly are!

And for those reading this thinking well do something about your weight, I am, I hate being the size (size's) that I am, I hate having nothing nice to wear but it took me a long time to gain the weight I did and it will take a long time to get it off again so in that time i'd like to feel nice about myself and with the range available at the moment I don't feel that's possible for me and that's what pisses me off.
