Sent from my iPhone using VST[/quote'] When I start thinking that I am still the pre-sleeve size, I go try on my clothes. The 1-2x sizes are ridiculous. Now I have discovered that some smaller clothes I had been hanging onto from my last 50-lb weight loss ARE WAY TOO BIG now! A little frustrating and scary. What am I going to wear? It's what is called a positive problem. 3 Tim H., mariamitani and Momonanomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michelle4873 113 Posted July 10, 2013 I feel the same when trying on dresses I thought I still fit into, although I love my sleeve it still bums me out lol ! But it's good! Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momonanomo 534 Posted July 10, 2013 Like Cindy, my clothes make it seem more real for me. I also find it helpful to go to a website called mybodygallery.com. Search for people at your current height & weight. Sometimes seeing other people with similar stats can help. The website is dedicated to helping women with body image issues. I think we all have that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark! 449 Posted July 10, 2013 When I look at jeans in the store, I see size 36 and 38, think no way in hell is my big ass getting in to those, but sure enough after trying them on, they fit. As long as I get relaxed or loose, God has blessed me with tree trunk legs, so tight jeans don't even make it over my calves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
