What Is The One Thing...

[DebiC 181]

You can't wait to wear? Besides a swimsuit, what is the one thing you most like to picture yourself in once you are at or near your goal.

For me it is a dress (I have recently been looking at wrap dresses) with nylons and strappy not too high heels (I'm 6' tall barefoot) and I have always wanted to have a blazer to wear with jeans (a pair of jeans is the first thing I'm buying when I lose a little more!!)-Goodbye polyester stretch pants!!!!!

I have not been able to just go to a store and buy clothes for probably 20 years. Not only am I big, but I am also tall so tops especially have had to be custom made (so they are long enough to cover my belly and hips) because we all know that if our fat is covered with clothes no one will know we are fat underneath!!

I lost enough weight to actually buy a dress for my daughters wedding 10 years ago (I still have it) but that is the only regular store purchase I have made.

I am so tired of being limited to what I can order from LB and Roaman's and besides how can you tell what it will look like on you when their models are all a size 10 at the most?

Anyways, I just thought you might want to share your innermost clothes fantasy with those of us who can relate.

I want to buy a nice expensive pair of jeans, preferably in the single digits!! I love the blazer and jeans look too!!

For me, it was a sexy black dress.

Also - I know you said it didn't count ... but I wanted to wear a bathing suit in public and not feel self-conscious. Well, I got to do that last May in Mexico. It was WONDERFUL!

I want to be able to tuck a shirt into my jeans to show off a super cute belt and to tuck jeans into boots without looking insanely disproportionate. I also want to be able to wear a dress. I own two that fit fine now, but I'm so conscious of my calves (I wear jeans all the time, even in summer) that I don't wear them much.

Hey Debi! I feel ya--I'm 6'2" barefoot, but I have to tell you, you're going to feel totally different about EVERYTHING after a while. I used to hate wearing heels because I'm already so tall, but you know what? Now that they don't make me hurt all over (amazing what dropping 100 pounds will do for your feet, ankles, and knees!), I LOVE wearing my heels--I mean, seriously, I can't help being tall, and what's another 4 inches? LOL They're cute shoes!!

For me, the big deal was jeans. I have become a total jean baby--and I don't wear them to work, so these are just for me. I love my Eddie Bauers!! I have them in lots of different styles, from "boyfriend" to flare to whatever--and they FIT! I'm so glad that girls are getting taller in general, because most jeans come in tall lengths now.

Before I had my surgery, my general physician asked me what my goal was. I told her I wanted to be a size 16 (at the time, I was a tight 26/28). I'm currently in a 14 and may actually get to a 12 by the time I hit goal--it's just astonishing to me that these things actually FIT!!!

Enjoy the ride!!

I have serious height envy right now!!!! I'm barely 5'6'.... don't tell my sister.. .I've been swearing I'm an inch taller since college!!!

My dream is to be able to wear a little sleeveless dress, or be able to buy anything from Victoria's Secret!

[circa 333]

My shoes! I have an extensive collection of shoes - most are 3-6 inch heels. I used to wear heels every day until I got sick - I can't wait to wear them again!

Tucked-in shirt with jeans and a cute belt . . . I tried to tuck a shirt in today and I'm just not quite there yet, too much of a pooch still. )

Little black dress!!!

Sleeveless shirts in the summer (but this may still be tough, so far my batwings are lookin' pretty rough)

I'm waiting to wear sun dresses of all types during the summer! I'd love to tuck in jeans in sexy boots too but I really can't wait for the femine things.

[Amanda 3.0 140]

I can't wait to wear jeans tucked into some cute boots. I already got the boots, just need to feel comfortable in the right jeans!

[Amanda131 214]

Mine was what I term the "Blingy Booty" jeans aka Miss Me Jeans and a sparkly rhinestoned belt. I am excited to report I was able to buy both a couple of weeks ago.

[KristinaRN 54]

My biggest wish is to be able to pull tall boots over my thick calves! Also, I would love to be able to wear shorts in the summer, I have only worn capris for the past 7-8 years b/c I was so self conscious of my legs (I am very bottom heavy). Of course, being able to buy something pretty from Victoria's Secret would be nice too

Anything out of the FOX motorcross catalog!!!

[favoredone 590]

A nice sweater dress w/ a wide belt and some of my cute shoes that have been lonely in my closet for the last 2 years!
