Default nsv: "those jeans are for fat girls"
yesterday, i had a bad day all around, and instead of stress eating, i decided to go shopping for some new jeans.

my size 6s had become loose but were not falling off, so these new pants were really just an ego boost.

the store that i went to had a sale on jeans- buy one get one 50% off and i was looking for two pairs to buy. the salesperson informed me that all the jeans they had were on the sales floor and that they wouldnt be getting anymore shipments until school season, so i was looking at what they had.

i pointed up to a shelf and saw the size i needed (4 short, it's annoying how no matter what size i wear, i need short still), and asked the guy what kind of jeans they were.

he whispered "that cut is more for fat girls"

he was being blunt, but then it hit me

I NO LONGER QUALIFY AS A "FAT GIRL"!, for the first time in my life.

Yay for new jeans!! I just bought a new pair of jeans for the first time in 2 years and I know how good it feels!
However, I still feel like even when I'm thin I'll be insulted by comments like that and it would probably cause me to walk out of the store. I guess I'll find out eventually.

Congrats!

I agree with this. I mean, some cuts of pants are going to fit a plus-sized figure better but couldn't he have just said something like "those pants work better on a different shape than yours or they would be more flattering on a plus-sized figure"?
