Stop with the catalogs. Please!

Dear Mr. Postman,
Take me off the mailing list, please!
I would really appreciate it if you wouldn’t bring any more larger-sized women’s clothing catalogs to my house. I have called the companies and asked them not to send them any longer. It took 15 calls to Lane Bryant for them to finally stop sending them to me. I must admit that it was the only way that I could buy clothes for decades and they are fine companies but I don’t need their garments any longer and I don’t want their catalogs delivered to my house any longer.
The reality is that I haven’t bought anything from a plus-sized catalog for over 4 years so I am surprised that they waste their money sending them to me. I told a friend about this last week and she asked me why I was so bothered by the junk mail that came my way.
It made me stop and think, and I told her that I didn’t want to know that they still existed. Long ago, I donated all my old clothes so I didn’t have an escape hatch for my diet. I know that you can still buy larger clothes but I have put that idea of that out of my head. I haven’t kept any garment that is more than a two sizes too big unless I am going to workout in it.
95% of diets fail and I don’t want to be a casualty. If I can’t fit into my skinner clothes, that is my sign to cut out the sweets and hit the gym. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
Thank you Mr. Postman for not delivering any more catalogs.
AMEN - I have the SAME problem. Well, not exactly the same. Lane Bryant isn’t showing up at my door, but I still get multiple copies of the “King Size Men’s Company” catalog every month. The last thing I ordered from them was a size XL winter coat. XL is the smallest size the carry. Like you, I bought all my clothes from them for years, but have given all of them away - thousands of dollars worth!
I was joking with fellow Joy Fit Club member Jodi Davis about the irony of that company’s name - “King Size Men”. All of my clothes had a tag in them that said that. Obviously, the company must be run by someone skinny. Who wants to have a tag like that in their clothes? Why don’t you just call yourself the “Fat Ass Clothing Company” and sell stuff on the novelty market as well? Geez…
Somehow I ended up on the mailing list for Fashion Bug Plus too. I think it’s because I bought my sister a gift certificate there one time. Now talk about embarrassing. In a small town like the one where I live, I’m sure the postal employees crack up about putting Fashion Bug catalogs and coupons in my mailbox. Egads!
