Last Saturday, my hubby brought me to Jaya Jusco at Alpha Angel to purchase some new clothes for Chinese New Year. As usual, I would find the cheapest deal in the store. So, I bought a piece of blouse and a pair of long pants.

Throughout these years, I have problem finding pants or skirts to suit my body size. With my eating habit and living style, I gained 15 kg in 5 years. As a result, I seldom shop for clothes especially for lower parts of my body because of my size. So I always wondered why all the boutiques in shopping malls are selling apparels for small-sized ladies but not women like me.

I remembered a funny incident on last Saturday when I was trying to “hunt” for large-sized pants. While my husband was queuing at the cashier counter to pay for my blouse, I spotted a column of long pants with funny tags on the racks – 6L, 5L, etc. With my little intelligence, I knew that the 6L must be representing 6 Ls, i.e. LLLLLL size pants. What a big surprise! I never saw anything like this before! I quickly grabbed the 6L pants and attempted to check on the size. But….it’s too big for me! Then, a salesperson approached me and ask of favour to help. So I told her that I wanted to try on pants with 4L and 3L size. Unexpectedly, these two sizes just slipped from my waist down to the floor.

I approached the salesperson and asked her for help. She took a peep on my hip and gave me 2L and XL to try on. I tried on 2L first and found it’s quite okay. But when I tried on the XL, I’m so glad that it actually fitted very well! Without thinking much, I bought it home.

There’s another case which is not so pleasure. Yesterday, my hubby and I went to the night market at Kepong to hunt for his new year clothes (JJ’s garments for male are quite expensive for us). As we passed through the stalls selling shoes, I saw some attractive long boots which I wanted to buy long ago. My hubby encouraged me to try on some of them. What a shame! My leg cannot fit into those boots…

I always wanted to slim down but I don’t like to do exercises and doing exercises alone is boring. Apart from that, one of my interests is eating. On top of that, I used to take contraceptive pills for 2 years which claimed that it will caused the increase of weight. So, these excuses “cursed” me so that I can’t slim down. I’m hopeless…I know I can’t blame anyone for this. It’s my fault of being plump…
