i was looking around for malls in the detroit area to visit my friend and there aren't Lane Bryant's around in some of them. i can understand not having Torrid but Lane Bryant is a staple for me!

the thing that REALLY pissed me off was this store. 579. 579 is a national retail apparel chain operating in the continental united states and puerto rico, carrying trendy junior clothing featuring sizes 00 thru 9

WTF! it's bad enough i feel fat! the only store i don't feel fat in is target because the 2xls are too big for me! EVEN AMERICAN EAGLE GOES UP TO SIZE 18 ONLINE!

sorry for people who shop there, but i think this store is lame, and is affecting anyone above the size of 9 who has heard of it. this is how we get lindsay lohan skinny and it's.... GRR!

u heard mine, express your view.

^ That's a little cruel, dont ya think? Yeah, if someone gets to the point where they're 300 pounds or something - then that's definitely their own fault. But girls who are just overweight, not so much. Alot of girls who are overweight arent any more lazy than a normal sized girl. Alot of times they have something going on that gives them a low metabolism. That was my problem - I found out that my thyroid was all out of whack. I've been trying diets for years, but it wasnt till I was able to treat my thyroid problem that I finally lost weight. And alot of girls are thin because they have a really high metabolism - not because they're just less lazy.

I was just joking about potato sacks. ;K

But, yeah, my mom also had thyroid problems, and she used to be chubby until she got meds. I think girls that are a little overweight can fit into regular sized clothes. Most normal stores do offer a wide range of sizes.

I think it's fair to say that there is an equal amount of girls who also work out to keep their good figures.
