Tales from Taiwan - 2

This one is one that made me laugh out loud, especially when one has to remember that my youngest sibling is not overweight in any way and in fact is a classic size 10/12 in the UK.

The Changing Room

Today ladies, I made the serious error of clothes shopping (never a good
idea when you're on your period let's be honest, but in my case it was a
necessity).

Cut to me unsuccessfully trying on a variety of clothes (all in XL, XXL
of course) while sweating profusely in a tiny little changing area.
What happened next can only be described as a particularly low point for
me in my lifetime shopping experiences to date.  I could hear two
Taiwanese girls nearby giggling away.  I looked up, and lo and behold
they were pointing and giggling at me (a common occurrence of which I am
getting used to).  Then one of them whilst beaming at me so, so sweetly
and politely proceeded to meekly walk up to me, tickle my tummy, giggle
and exclaim "Ahhhhhh, you so fat!!!!!"

As I said, a low point of my shopping experience I feel!

As she wandered back to her friend, giggling and still smiling at me. I
politely nodded, returned the big beaming smile and muttered a line of
profanities through gritted, smiling teeth.  Small victories ladies,
small victories.  The little bugger caught me at my most vulnerable -
bent over in my big period pants, with my chub hanging out over the
elastic.  I never stood a chance.  I just didn't see it coming!!

Suffice to say, I strode out of the changing room proudly with my XXL
items, head held high and in defiance started rifling through the S/M
items!

Unsurprisingly my shopping trip proved fruitless and I took my fat body
home.
