Nvs... Smaller Clothes



Recommended Posts

So I haven't seen the scale move in about three weeks. This can be somewhat discouraging considering I only have 11lbs to goal. However, my cloths are getting bigger and bigger. I'm in a 5-7 jean now and it is a little strange for me I have to say. I don't know that I want to get much smaller.

Is that weird? I'm at a normal healthy weight. I am exercising now and my muscles are toning up very nicely. I started this because I wanted to get healthy and I know I can still lose more but I don't want to start looking sick, drawn up, and old.

Here are some before and afters. Tell me what you think.

The last three are from today.... In the last one I was only trying to give you and idea of how thin I am under the shirt. Sorry about the tummy showing.

I think you look fantastic. This is a personal question but I am going to ask it anyway!! lol. I noticed that you have bigger boobs? Did you keep these boobs after your weight loss or did you have plastics done. I am very worried about my boobs because they are big and I don't want them to turn into tube socks lol. Sorry if that question is off limits.

No that's a great question!! Those are all me. They were very much bigger to begin with but I think what I lost and what I kept evened out very well. I was told that if you had them before you gained the weight you were looking to lose, you would probably keep most of what you had. That was the case for me.

That all being said... I have a great VS bra on and it helps keep the girls where they should be. I'm a little worried about the fall they have taken but my BF tells me they are still perfect. :)

I don't think that is odd at all. It's a very healthy thought to be able to go "I like me HERE". It can be difficult for us to begin to really be OK with our bodies.

Awww...its a very cute (slim, lol) tummy! Be happy!

thanks Julie, It makes me feel so good about my decision when I see women that have done as well as you. There will be a VS near me soon so I can't wait to go in and try so "real" bras on not sport bras.

You are going to do great! Just remember why you made this decision and everything else will fall into place. I know as a woman we hate to loose the things (breast, in this case) that make us who we are but in the end, we have to do what is healthy for us. Even if you lose what you have, know there are always alternatives. :)

I was a 38 (overflowing) DD or E in some bra's. I am still a 34-36 D Depending on the bra. When I was 12 years old I was a D so I didn't expect to lose too much. Was kinda hoping to lose some though. Just think back to when you were a teenager and that's probably where you will end up. Now that's not saying they won't be pointing in some other direction.LOL! :rolleyes:

      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.
