How To Feel Fabulous!



Recommended Posts

Not wanting to waste money on clothes that I could not wear very long, I kept wearing all my baggy clothes.

I even had a box of smaller clothes I dug out and those were now to baggy.

I heard one of my favorite stores was closing (Fashion Bug), so I took a little trip there and it was true, she told me things were being reduced and soon they would close and to choose wisely because all sales are final. I bought a few things and WOW.

Wearing things that fit can really make you feel fabulous. Now when I go to work I know I look good.

Even tho I have not made my goal I do know that I look and feel so much better then I did 6 months ago.

So I encourage all of you that are still wearing those baggy clothes to go get a few new things, even if you can't wear them in a couple months it is so worth a hundred dollars to feel like a million dollars.

I was always amazed at how much more people commented about my weightloss when I wore clothes that fit. I think it is hard to do it when we are use to wearing baggy clothes to "hid". I even would go as far as to say clothes felt tight when they actually fit but the clothes I wore were so baggy I wasn't use to wearing them correctly.

Congrats to you and good luck!

I agree! I just did some shopping today. I was a 24-26 in January and today I could go into Lane Bryant and pretty much fit in to any 16 and some 14 tops. I was amazed! And yes, people do make more positive comments when your clothes fit you better. What a great feeling!

Congrats to you!

Congrats Grandma! Its so true that wearing clothes that fit makes you feel wonderful. I went shopping today and was thrilled, I now fit in a size 14! First time in 30 years. Bought 2 outfits, can't wait to wear them to work next week. We are so worth it! :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
