I went shopping today, yes again. I bet you guys think it’s all I ever do! I went with my lovely mum but ended up feeling really bad for her — she had an operation several months ago and has been unable to work out since, so she’s gained quite a bit of weight.

After I’d come out of the changing room with arms full of size 12/14 clothes that I liked and wanted to buy she complained that nothing she’d tried on fit, it all made her look fat and she wished she’d never bothered

The thing is I know how that feels, I was there myself only a year or so ago…so I also know that having someone tell me ‘There there’ or ‘I am sure you looked fine’ didn’t help matters or make me feel better, so I sort of just said nothing and now I am kicking myself. She probably thought I didn’t care and I ended up making her feel worse any way!

So I was just on Simply Be looking at their large ladies clothing section and have been doing some research into what will look good on her body type/shape and ordered a Womens Catalog for her and will hopefully be able to walk her through it, find some stuff she does like how she looks in and make her feel better
