デブですから。Because I am Fat.

I get annoyed when people insist that I can find clothes and shoes in Japan. Especially people who have never been to Japan, or have never tried to find clothes in L or XL sizes in Japan. :\ And shoes for that matter. I have wide feet. That is a FACT. I never ASKED for wide feet, so I totally don't get it when people insist that I have small feet. Um, they are my feet, I think I'm not that much of a retard to know how big my own feet are?
I mean seriously. I might exaggerate my size at times, but I don't wear a pair of distortion glasses! It is a fact that I am larger than the average Singaporean, and Japanese, because I enjoy food and detest exercising (unless it's like, swimming, or soccer... but hey, whatever).
So here's my gripe. I cannot stand people who insist that I can definitely find clothes easily there. :\Hello, I've been to Japan five freakin' times, please don't try to convince me that it's easy to find plus-sized clothing there. I have tried many times and have left shops EMBARRASSED because they do not have anything larger than an M, or sometimes lo and behold an L but still I am too wide and protruding to wear something. Tops are still a hit-and-miss affair. I can fit into an L from the women's department, and sometimes an M in the men's department, but even that's a longshot. Don't get me started on the jeans/pants. I cannot. Cannot find anything in shop fronts that fit me. I remember going to Edwin jeans and being VERY EMBARRASSED. But yes. Whatever.
But fat girls in Japan have to have get their clothes from somewhere, don't you think? No offense to morisanchu or our lovely beyonce impersonator, but I need to know where they get their clothes from. I've only found Nissen's Smile Land which doesn't sell frumpy plus-sized stuff, so that's good. It's an online store though so I can't actually try anything on...

Yup! I am definitely going to try - harder haha, because my trying in Singapore has failed very badly - to lose weight in Japan! Yeah! I think I'll be walking a lot more too :D 一緒に頑張ります!
