Warning Labels in Plus-Sized Clothing?



Recommended Posts

Yep. Makes as much sense to me as the labels on cigarettes, alcohol. Perhaps next those who have to buy these clothes could be tracked and not allowed to eat anything of their own choosing because they are offensive to society and unable to kick their unhealthy habits. Hmm...:paranoid
The warning labels on cigarettes, alcohol and food are to stop you from doing something by warning you of the consequences.

The warning labels on clothes tells you that it is already too late to do anything.:faint:

Clothing for fat people are, of themselves, a warning against obesity; they don't need no stinkin' labels. I never realised before I got fat that I would be entering into the Land of Ugly Clothes. I think that one of the reasons that I got banded was so that I could wear natural fibres again.

wow what a way to make bigger people feel worse!!!! An intervention in your clothing?

Newsflash to clothing manufactuers...

WE KNOW WE ARE FAT!!!!! we don't need a blazing tag in our already high waisted taper leg disgusting make you look 50 pounds heavier jeans that we are forced to buy from you...

I am willing to bet they would start putting the tags in at like a size 12...

I push for them to do this... yes... as long as they put tags in the 00's saying

"Our jeans have concluded that your butt is nonexistant... doctors report that a nonexistant butt is a serious medical condition. Please consult a physican or the nearest McDonalds... included is a 10 dollar McDonalds Gift certificate...best used at one meal."

Yeah I would be in way more support of that to... or maybe they can start making skinny girl jeans ugly and claiming they had to use too litle fabric to make them pretty... maybe that would cure the true epidemic

Yeah, like all they have to do is sew one of those damn sequins onto the tag. Isn't that warning enough?

I think it's a great idea but the labels should read:

Warning: Although the size says 18 on this label - it's really a size 14. Buyer beware!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
