to accept their bodies and themselves
if they are constantly shamed and alienated
by the sizing available on the shelves?Many retailers now offer a range
of sizes available in their designs
yet so many stores neglect to include them
offering only for you to purchase online.It saddens me to think they are happy
to cater only for those who fit into their mould

and left completely out in the cold.In a world where it's encouraged to be accepting
of all people regardless of their differences
it's still normality for people of different sizes
to be left feeling ostracised.
