One of my pet hates is finding clothes to exercise in. Everything is fine if you have a waist line of a Barbie Doll. Barbie can go to the likes of "Lorna Jane" or "Rebel Sport" to purchase her groovy sports bras and teeny weeny running shorts. HOWEVER, what exactly is out there to where if you are over Size 18???
Every day I hear how obesity is bad, and obese people should get off the big bums and exercise. Good, great, yep we hear what you are saying but what the hell would you like us to wear whilst we exercise??? Au Natural and go nude???? I can't even purchase a decent sports bra in my size, yet I'm suppose to try jogging with 'my gals' bouncing up, down and here and there! I have noticed the likes of BigW sell an exercise brand, but long tracksuit pants in this hot and humid Queensland tropical weather??? Go Figure I guess!!
So due to lack of gym wearing gear, I exercise at home ... in my teeny weeny size 26 shorts and normal wire bra. {I'm dreadfully sorry for putting that vision into your brain on this Friday. LOL.} Today I once again exercised in our eating area, facing the kitchen. I do this by listening to talkback radio and reading Michelle Bridge's book. She also says to her 'weight watchers' to purchase a good sports bra. I wish I could Michelle, I wish I could!!! I also jogged in the one spot for a longer period of time and I'm happy with that achievement :0)
Tonight I am thinking about having a wine or two as I watch the movie "Ghost". So love that movie and I am an emotional wreck at the end of it every time!!
He He!! Yep, I could visulise the sight of you in your exercise short and normal bra! But I have to agree with you, I've lost almost 20 kilos and I'm still way too big to fit into my size 16 exercise gear!
ReplyDeleteConsequently, I walk and bike-ride in cut-off jeans - not great but as you've so rightly pointed out, what's the option for we larger size ladies?
Keep on keeping on and one day you too will be able to purchase some teeny-weeny exercise shorts!!!!
All the best - Gae xoxo
Thank You Gae :0)
ReplyDeleteWhen I lose another 6 or so kilos, I'll probably fit back into the sports crop tops I used to wear. But with the humid crappy hot weather at the moment, I'd have to bend myself inside out to get into them at the moment - LOL ... not a pretty sight LOL.
Good luck to you too :0)
Hi, have you tried looking online to see if you can find something? I have a friend who is "well endowed", not a large girl weight wise, but large anough on top to make sports bra buying a real pain in the ar$e! She buys online, I can't remember the name of the site but. I buy stuff from Autograph, who also have an online service. Three quarter length pants and normal singlet tops. I find them pretty decent, maybe give them a shot too? Good luck!!
