The scope of this report:- *Brief review of economic trends and how they impact retail, explaining how we believe key economic metrics will evolve over the next two years. *Forecasts of how overall retail and retail sectors will fare over the next nine quarters, examining volume, inflation and overall growth rates. *Category level forecasts are provided to fully inform growth strategies. *Forecast for online retailing, analysing total online spend, split down into food and non-food. Highlights Another difficult year ahead with stronger growth in Q2 but entirely driven by inflation. Even with soft comparatives growth is set to be weak and continue to be so. Retailers are going to have to work much harder to win share of consumer spending. Easing food inflation depresses growth, due to falling commodity prices and fewer seasonal fluctuations. Within non food only clothing & footwear and health & beauty are expected to see any growth in Q2, both driven by inflation, with the return of VAT to 17.5%. The weakness of sterling and high cotton costs place further inflationary pressures.

Sweaters were my best friend when I was having eating issues. I really didn't want the more unsightly aspects of that time to be visible, to myself or others. Some of my friends were worried regardless.
Even though I know I shouldn't care, I can't help but think of my appearance whenever I think about my health and weight. My figure (what little of one I have) is important to me. It frustrates me, because I'm all about being accepting of different body types, yet at the same time I want the 'ideal' figure for myself.
I see this all the time. I'm overweight, but I'm not unhealthy. I mean this as in I go to the doctor and my BMI registers as obese (what a loaded term). But then you look at my other indicators (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc,) and I'm in the normal range. I'm 5'3" and 185 lbs for those of you familiar w/ US measurements.
I now eat (mostly) healthy and I exercise for one hour 2-3 times a week, in a high intensity cardio setting. In addition, 2-3 times a week I exercise leisurely in walks or swims.
However a few years ago my blood pressure was getting disturbingly high for someone in their 20's and I had to admit I wasn't exercising hardly at all. So I started these activities that I now love. And of course, when doing these activities, I got the feedback that, "Oh I'm sure you'll see the pounds just come off soon!" Or "don't go shopping, you don't want to buy clothes that will be too big in a few months."
But it couldn't be about weight for me anymore. If I want to be healthy, I have to get my mind in the right place first...meaning I have to accept my body as is. When I didn't, I was too ashamed to try things...like yoga or kickboxing, which are actually great fun for me now.
I totally agree. Thank you for sharing. The "will to health" is such a powerful moral imperative in our society and I've seen very few feminist analyses of what that means for women's bodies, which are always policed to meet the ideal beauty standard (whatever that is).
As a woman recovered from an eating disorder, I look back now and see how frighteningly easy it was for me to cover up my illness because I was doing what was "healthy" (in terms of diet and exercise).
I'm now in your situation, too. I strength-train to improve my mood and feel stronger. (Plus, it's good for your bones if you have had an ED.) And I get the same comments! I really wish people would stop warning women away from strength-training.
Thanks for posting so honestly about your experiences.
I've had similar issues regarding the assumption that thin=healthy, and that people only pursue health because they are trying to lose weight.
I work out every day for half an hour, and a lot of people will make comments like, "You don't need to work out, you're already skinny!" --as if weight loss is the only reason for exercising. Actually, I'm trying to get some nice biceps because I think strong arms are sexy. Weight loss has nothing to do with it.
A few days ago, a dude at a cafe said, "Why would you want green tea? You don't need to lose weight!" and I was infuriated. I don't even believe that green tea has an effect on weight loss. I drink it because it's a kickass antioxidant and tastes good.
My respect for women who go against the cultural status quo and build some muscle is enormous. I don't think that there's anything masculine about it, especially given how much harder it is for women to bulk up. I also have much respect for women who do real pushups.
I am baffled by the cultural pressure that women are under to avoid becoming stronger. It is totally awesome to have your girlfriend able to carry her end of the couch. There is so much pressure on women to accept that they are weak and should be weak, and that sucks in a bad way.
Yes, exactly, agreed, well-said. I went to a nutritionist when I came home from Peace Corps, because I wanted to start a habit of eating well. And that's what I told her. Within ten minutes, she said, "We'll get that weight off you." and I was majorly taken aback--because I never said I was there to lose weight. She just assumed.
