I went pants shopping today for, like, five hours at every store in a 10 mile radius of my house that sold a size 18. Not a single pair fit. There were 16’s falling off and 18’s I couldn’t button. 22’s that were cutting off circulation to my calves, and 2 pairs of 20’s from the same store, same brand, same cut, in different colors, that had a difference greater than 2 inches at the waist. The one pair of jeans that fit my butt, my waist, my calves, and weren’t made of tissue paper were, approximately, eight feet too short.
Days like today make me want to light people on fire. I just fucking want a pair of fucking pants. It’s so hard to remember that IT IS NOT MY BODY THAT IS FUCKED UP. It is the manufacturers and the designers who are the fucked up.
