Lululemon clothing is smaller than the majority of Americans. It would be nice if Lululemon had models who are more average the size of most Americans. The sizing of this store is a real downer to the reality of life today. It is really cutting out a large number of potential customers who want to get there with their bodies. It is our social media that has put this out there and it is most unfortunate. It has nothing to do with the culture. America is a melting pot. It is about perceptions....

Your experience in Italy sounds amazing. I'm not sure if we'll be seeing a store in Italy in the future, but we would love to(it would make a great excuse to visit!). In the meantime, we do ship internationally from our website for a flat fee of $30. ~ Jordan Hey Kristy,

Mon, 09 May 2011 16:39:34 +0000 http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/?p=16440#comment-31806 Well reading this just made me smile as I live in Italy I married an Italian and am raising 4 italian/canadian kids, (I was born and raised in Vancouver and moved out to Rome in my 20's). You are right, italians just don't beat themselves up about what they were born with (or without ;-)) I think it also helps that the italian men also love all shapes and sizes, they look at the skinny minnies but they also gawk at the curvy 'normal' women too. Alot of sunshine, fresh food and good wine also helps!! On another note......when can I expect a Lululemon shop out here in the land of pizza?? We are desperately needing one, my (italian) friends in the gym do nothing but complement me on my (Lulu)clothes and are so jealous when I come back from visiting Van. all loaded up with the latest goodies. thanks for the blog. Ciao for now xo Well reading this just made me smile as I live in Italy I married an Italian and am raising 4 italian/canadian kids, (I was born and raised in Vancouver and moved out to Rome in my 20′s).

At any given time of any day you could see no less than 10 people eating gelato there!

Not until just recently, this slightly overweight mother of two who goes to yoga class and is fearless and strong on the mat, have I learned to truly love my body. Feeling strong and powerful has made me so much happier than feeling "beautiful"... because strength is beautiful. I never loved my body even when it was in line with the (distorted) ideal.

My daughter bonked my blackberry. If you work hard to stay fit mentally and physically you would love this post to.As a 37 mom of three and committed exerciser person, I marvel at comments that suggest exercise is done for anyone outside of self.

Anyone from Italy would say your insane.. and you should eat a gelato instead! Our body image is directly related to media and trillion dollar industry that is telling us we need to lose weight .. that being said we are all suckers, Including lululemon who the majority of the time features smaller then average clothing models. Love yourself as you are. That's it. Life is way to short to waste it dwelling on negative thoughts about yourself.
