I say screw you Lululemon



Recommended Posts

This isn't a rant about vertical sleeve, but more a rant about Lululemon, the fitness clothing company. I live in So. Cal. where the Lululemon logo is as ubiquitous as Starbucks and luxury car emblems...so, I'm feeling pretty good about myself, and decided to go to their website and check out a pair of their workout pants...and you know what their largest size is??? A 12.....which they have the audacity to describe as XL. Even when I get to that size I am very tempted to give a big F U to them on principal.

Wow...I've always been jealous of my friends who seem to live in Lululemon...that's disappointing!

Unfortunately, these companies can size things how they want. :( If being a size 12 is considered and XL, then I guess my goal is to be XL! Ha!

I do think that their whole brand is targeted at a luxury clientele that does a little yoga inbetween lunching with the ladies and redecorating the beach house...(snark alert, haha)...it kinda reminds me of Abercrombie only going up to a certain size because they only want their clothes on a certain body type. A shame, for sure...and stupid, if you ask me! It ignores a whole other consumer set and their money...which functions the same no matter what size you are.

I've never thought about their sizing...the only time I've ever been in their store is to purchase a gift card for my daughter's volleyball coach (who was a self-professed *lover* of all their things.)

I never bothered to look at their sizes because I couldn't get past their prices. :blink: Who charges that for *workout* wear? gah! Not my bag.

$60 for a sports bra, $100 for a pair of pants?!? Oh my... even if I were their version of an XL, they still wouldn't be getting the money that I don't have. :P

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
