Moving on with my project, let’s discuss the second reason I came up with to lose weight: so I can shop for sports clothes more easily.

You see, I am not that fussy when it comes to sports clothes. As a total amateur, I don’t need specialty fabrics or designs. I just need them to be comfortable, really, and long lasting would be a nice bonus.

Living in Israel, plus sizes aren’t really sold at regular stores. You have to go to one of the special plus size shops. They never have actual sports clothes and the best they can come up with is stretchy lycra pants. It’s not a bad solution, except for the fact that they’re usually very expensive. I’m talking $40 and upwards, which is fairly steep for a pair of tights to sweat in, IMO.

Regular shops have tons of simple functional and cheap tights. Wrong size though.

So, assuming I am not about to change the local market, I guess I need to adapt my body to the market, huh?
