Geting Rid of OLD JEANS



Recommended Posts

YEP, I am feeling pretty darn good today even it is raining , gray and an all around crappy day.

GOOD NEWS:

I took a pair of jeans off of the hanger, and was able to slip them on WITHOUT unbuttoning or unzippingthem..

BAD NEWS: My bras are to big now and at $45 a bra, I cannot afford to replace them right now . I'll buy a new one today and do the wash it out every night --:)

Just a suggestion - have you tried going to Goodwill as you lose weight for the intermittent sizes you will be? Maybe not for intimates such as a bra but they do have other nice clothes, sometimes you even can luck out and they still have the tags on them.

Do you have a Saver's in your area? If you turn in 5 things you get a 20% off your entire purchase coupon and all their money goes to Big Brothers Big sisters. I got some awesome stuff there and know my money is going to a good cause!

Congrats on your continued weight loss! :) Have you looked at "Justmysize.com" for bras? They always have bras on sale. This is the only place I get mine. I refuse to spend more than around $20 on a bra. I have bought them for as little has $15.99 each (plus s/h). This is still a great deal. Walmart also has bras at reasonable prices. Hope this helps.

I have also been getting stuff on eBay. They have a ton of stuff new with tags on there. Perfect for me, as I'm in between sizes and don't have the $$ to spend on 5 different sized wardrobes LOL

Also, consignment shops have really good deals too. Not sure if you have those in your area---always good to check it out.

I'm a 'Just My Size' bra girl. I hate bras but they fit so well and they even carry some without those torturous underwisres...and, as someone already said, they are very reasonably priced. I only paid $16 a piece for my last couple.

Thanks for the info.. I will have to check out JMS website and as for the goodwill.. I cannot handle the smell of the one here.. I start sneezing and get a monstor hedache from the place ..

Don't have a Savers near by.. May have to do a mini-road trip.. BUT also have some old clothes that did not sell at my yard sale 2 years ago-- may try them on .. Would be like a whole new wardrobe again.

Congrats on needing new bras! I need them too so I went to JC Pennys and got 2 cheap ones. I'm a bra snob and I hate wearing the cheap stuff but the ones I like are $75 - $85 per bra and dont want to get good ones again till I am down another 30 pounds AT LEAST!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
