Today I am grateful for the powers of internet shopping. If you live in a small town you expect limited choice, but the truth is, even in the larger towns, my choice is pretty limited. Shops that used to stock larger sizes seem to have slowly stopped. Marks and Spencer and then Tesco left Evans as my only choice.... Their clothing is expensive but not always of great quality....

The internet gives me choice. Not as much as a thin person, but choice. I am actually able to buy clothes that fit.... which is a good start. I love all this choice, where a small artisan has as much chance as a huge shop. All of these shops at my fingertips.
