Little Casual Friday Victory!



Recommended Posts

Totally random story yall may appreciate.

A month ago I bought 2 pairs of skinny jeans from Old Navy, size 22 and size 20. I decided 20 were too tight and returned them. I went to put on the 22 today for work and they were kinda tight too but I thought they would loosen a bit once I moved around. They did and I started thinking I looked pretty good!

I got to work and went to the bathroom and I realized that these are the size 20 and I returned the wrong pair and the 20s fit and looked good!

Little victories help me through the day!

Anyone have similar stories to share?

If you notice in my profile pic, I'm wearing a red long-sleeve shirt. This picture was taken last fall when I was around 260 lbs. Now that I'm at the halfway mark towards my ideal weight, I wanted to take the same exact pic (next to the statue of Morgan Freeman) with the same clothes on as a "dramatic contrast" pic. I thought the shirt would still fit; however, when I tried the shirt on I nearly drowned in it.

Awesome victory Lisabelle07! That must have felt sooooo Awesome!!

@gustavo52874, You need to wear something that fits you now for that picture! You've lost a lot of weight so far so you have to show it off by wearing something you are not swimming in because it will hide some of your accomplishement. Time to buy a new red shirt! Still waiting to see that new pic with Morgan! Make sure you save your jeans though! When you reach your goal, I love the pics of people standing in their old jeans with room left for an extra person! Mine are the only thing in my closet I haven't given away. That, and a few outfits I held on to from skinnier days that I hope to fit into once again (and then get rid of because they are so out of date!!)

      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. 🤞
