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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
