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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
