Bad messages

I went to try and find some sandals in our local shoe shop, they had loads, just none in my size, what made it worse was that the shop assistant told me "most" women don't wear a size 8 and certainly not open sandals. She showed me the few pairs they did have which looked like refugees from a Mar-a-Largo pool party, were white and had heels, which I don't want.

I feel so upset, it's brought back all the old messages about being to big to be a proper girl, I've been hearing this message for 50 years, half a centrury of being told I'm to big and then people wonder why women my size end up with eating disorders.

Then I went to the bank to send my daughter in law some money for her birthday only to be told banks don't do cash transfers anymore! WTF?

    They all offer delivery, but then when they don't fit I have to return them and wait for repayment before I can start the whole sorry process all over again, if I'm lucky I might find a pair of sandals in the end of season sales. Shoe Zome stuff has never fitted me.

    In the past I've ended up in shoe shops surrounded by half a dozen or more pairs of shoes, none of which fit, having to hold back a melt down until I can at least get out of the shop, I used to live in a town that had loads of shoe shops and this would happen in everyone.

    Sadly it won't be the first summer I've spent in boots, or bare feet,. I think part of the reason I have so much foot pain is from years of ill fitting shoes, broken shoes, or no shoes at all.
