Argon's Activities

Mandi,

Happy shopping. I said that I would not buy more clothes for a while. I have many sizes put away and I should be able to get away without having to buy some. I did buy something to wear to a wedding I'm going to next weekend, and of course another pair of shoes.

How many of you are like me? I hated (still hate) shopping for clothes but shoes, that's a different story. I must have bought about 10 pair of sandles this summer!!!! The ones I wear the most, a pair of flip flops I bought at Walmart, not Walgreens!!

Oh.... same with me! I HATE shopping for clothes. If I go into a store that I know has nothing for me, I automatically go for things like bags or purses... or shoes. I can't wait to be able to find things in my size at almost any store. How great would that be?!

I've got a problem in the foot department, too. My feet are big, wide and boney. I take a 10 and a half, and very often I can't find shoes in my size. They are all sold out or they are all ugly. I've taken to calling my foot size "drag-queen size." Winner's doesn't stock many cute shoes that are larger than 9. Just like they want to punish us with ugly clothes when we are fat, they want to punish us big-foots!

I too have big feet. 9.5 if I can find it... last 'running' shoes I bought were 10's. Ugg... I feel your pain.

So... Moncton went ok. I couldn't find ONE pair of pants in a size 20! (at old navy) I could have tried an 18, but that's just setting myself up for disappointment. BUT ... I got this cream coloured v-neck sweater and 2 super thin tank tops for underneath. It was an XXL, and still a little tight for me to comfortably wear in public. Those sizes are MESSED up. I'm hoping by the time it's actually cool enough to wear something like that, I'll fit it better! Maybe I'll take some pictures for you guys!

It's always fun buying new clothes. For the last number of years I've been having to buy mine in bigger and bigger sizes and that hasn't been as much fun. And it is harder finding nice clothes in nice fabrics at size big. I am glad you got the sweater and the tank top in Moncton. It's great that they are only XXL. Congratulations! You should be feeling good about yourself. Do you ever shop at Cotton Ginny? That store has been saving my ass for years now.

green, Addition-Elle and Pennington's have been saving MY ass for a while!

loreily, thank you!

Wheezy, I know, I know.. I should have tried some 18's, but I'm so used to disappointment in trying on clothes, I just didn't want it again!!! It says 59, but it's really 58.6!

I've got to lose 1.8lbs a week for the next 14 weeks to be 200lbs by Xmas!

      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.
