Topic: My boring life
I've been biking after work for almost five months now, but have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of cycling clothes in the stores for larger women. I walk into a store, and find that a "large" or "extra-large" is what used to be a "medium" or "large". I was in my local REI the other day and noticed that depending on the brand, that XL cycling shorts seemed to be somewhere between a 14 and 18.

I want to be healthy, I want to keep pushing, but it's not fun with just three pair of shorts - and one pair is getting pretty old. I keep seeing news stories about how obese Americans are getting, but if we can't buy the proper clothing to DO SOMETHING about it, it's extremely easy to just give up and crawl back on the couch with a bag of chips and a remote control or laptop.

Grrr.
