About a week ago I was in town looking in the sport shop for some new trainers since the ones I usually wear were completely wrecked therefore it was time I invested in some new ones. After I found some trainers I wanted I proceeded to look around at the rest of the shop to see what clothing they had and if I would like any of it which I did so I went to look at the sizes to see if they stocked my size so that I could buy it and to my shock this shop only stocked up to a size 16.
Okay size 12/14/16 may be the average size of people now a days but I don't fit into that size and there are also a lot more people that also don't fit into that size.
Of course I'm used to most shops not stocking my size, it happens to me all the time but I really couldn't believe it when a SPORTS shop only went up to a size 16. Have they not thought that it's going to be mostly bigger people wanting to lose weight (like me) who are in interested in getting some sporting gear (also like me)? Obviously, they aren't the only ones that won't to lose weight, keep fit, do sports and all of that - there are smaller people that like to work out too so they have to keep that in mind also but there is this huge thing going around at the moment about "so many people are overweight now a days" so surely they should stock bigger clothing sizes that the people they class as overweight can have something to wear to work out in because I don't know about you but I don't fancy working out in my jeans thank you very much!
This post is just about once specific store that I saw this in so there may be some sports stores that do stock bigger sizes but to be honest I'm yet to find one that does.
Please bare in mind that this post is not meant to be offensive to anyone no matter what size they are I'm just expressing my opinion on the fact that there are no work out clothes available for me to wear when trying to lose weight as I myself am overweight and would like to change that. Although like I said I know that people of a smaller size also like to work out so I understand why there are smaller sizes, I just think bigger sizes should be added onto that range as well.
