always being the biggest one in the group meant that i couldn’t ever shop where my friends did. nothing ever fit me in the places we’d go and i wouldn’t dare suggest we go to the one store\/section which had things i could try on. the only thing i could buy when out with others was shoes. so i did. i bought a lot of shoes.<\/p>\n
now, thankfully, i have friends who i can actually shop with. it’s a still a novel experience and so much girly fun to be able to throw things over the changing room walls to share the awesome and\/or hilarity with. even though i’m still bigger than everyone else, sometimes i can try on the same things and it is good.<\/p>\n
