    Great story! I totally know how you feel with the shopping. Although the highest I ever weighted was 283 lbs, it was still very difficult to shop. I used XXXL clothes and 52 in. pants. It is very difficult to get decent quality clothing at that weight.

    It was depressing and it made me angry.

    Being out of those stores is really liberating. I am glad I can shop pretty much anywhere now.

    I too had trouble walking and with my back.

    Congratulations on your accomplishments!

    Wow. I don't know what to say.

    You captured exactly the way I feel about shopping at Lane Bryant (a place I refuse to ever shop in again). Your writing style is amazing and fluid and your story is absolutely captivating (and too familiar). Well done...I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished...it is nothing short of completely AWESOME! Congratulations!

    At 5'7" and 399 -- I had this same moment..... The entire moment. From the trashy car, the pain from walking, the shame of going to the "Fat Girl" store ---- the immense shame of outgrowing the Fat Girl store --- the sadness, the anger, all of it.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing.

    And, thank you for sharing it so eloquently. I believe we are better people for having lived that nightmare....
