Bye Bye Plus Size Stores!



Recommended Posts

So today I went to the mall in desperate need of new jeans. All my jeans all falling off me and I don't have any at the next lower size. Anyways all the jeans in the plus size sections or stores are too big for me! Yes- I was finally able to purchase jeans again in a regular store! Been a long time and I was so happy to be back. It was like seeing an old friend! I'm here again and this time to stay. I will not go back to the plus sizes!!! What a great feeling- can't wait to wear my new jeans!

That's great! I have bought new tops, but have been holding off on jeans, but probably in the next couple weeks I will go jeans shopping!

Wow, congratulations! I am also looking forward to someday kissing the plus size stores goodbye. Heck, I'm not a fancy person...so I'm kind of looking forward to having more choices at the thrift shops, but I am also looking forward to having more affordable clothing options at "regular" stores. :)

I can't wait until this happens to me. I think plus size clothing is so unflattering and unstylish. I used to think my clothes were so cool but now I see they were meant to hide my hugeness. I'm at size 14 top and 18 bottoms right now so I hope I go down quick so I never have to shop in a plus size store like Avenue or Lane Bryants again!!

Congrats & I totally understand how all of you feel ... I was a size 22/24 just 5 months ago, and now and squeezing into a size 14 ... when I was first able to squeeze into a size 18 jean, i was thrilled! I hadn't worn anything with a fitted waistband for probably 15 years .... it was so thrilling! I never thought I would be able to wear jeans, and now I can't stop myself from buying them (but inexpensive ones - like levis at TJMax or even Calvin Klein's at TJMax, since I know in two months i hopefully will be packing them up & buying next size down - yeah!!!) ... I am totally loving my sleeve! I have packed up all my plus size clothes (some really georgous stuff from Eileen Fisher) and hopefully will have a yard sale and sell fabulously cheap to other plus sized women in the spring! :-)

I LOVE THIS!!! It is such a great feeling! I remember feeling completely overwhelmed in the "regular" section of the store...like a stranger in a strange land. I got over that pretty quick and am wearing 12's and even 10's in some things (down from a 22/24!) I dont' feel like such a stranger anymore, and am generally still amazed that things fit. B)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
