Hello losers! :) hope everyone is doing great! I just wanted to share something that happened to me at a retail store (kmart) i was going through the clothes section cause they had a summer clearance sale and i was browsing for bathing auit and summer dresses but i wasnt looking for anything in particular when this male employee touches my arm and says! Uhn.!! Excuse me ma'am uhh.. The clothes in your size are not here there are over there and points out at the plus sizes!! Agghh! I was so caught off guard i did t said anything back i just went away and left the store i was so embarrased and coming from a man it was just so ahh... Have no words people have no clue how they are hurting somebody! Just saying!.... :(

I would have had some words for that employee and the manager. That s rude. What if you were jist shopoing for someone else. It really isnt that idiots business. I would have words and then leave an never go back to that store.

What a horrible thing to do to someone! I was just out shopping two weeks ago for my daughter before she left for her dad's for the summer. I felt the same way since I was looking at size 9/10 and large shirts.

I can't stand it when people are so insensitive.

so sorry that happened. But I would have done the same thing....right out of the store!

It doesnt matter who you were shopping for... he should have left you alone! I am sure he's not on commission at Kmart...what's it to him.

Hang in there .... you'll show him!

Definitely an issue to bring up with the manager. If it's a chain store I'd bring it to the corporate office, too. With today's economy no business can afford to lose customers and they would have lost me for sure, along with my friends and family. And I'd definitely perdue the discrimination issue - no business wants to deal with a mess like that. You'd be helping to prevent anyone else to be embarrassed in that way in the future. At the very least that guy needs some retraining and sensitivity training.

K-mart is owned by Sears and they definitely cannot afford crap like that. They have been so close to bankruptcy over the years that they have had to close several stores including K-mart stores. I would write a letter of complaint to Sear's Corporate office, talk with the manager of the store or cc a copy to him.

It's amazing...fat discrimination is still so accepted. Insensitivity abounds and it's really hurtful. I would definitely make management aware.

      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.
