What Is Your Ideal Size?



Recommended Posts

I am anxious to have the option to buy cute and flirty clothes instead of fat and frumpy.

Yup! I can't even imagine buying cute clothes that I actually like, not just tolerate. Whoo Hoo!

I was in a store yesterday and got so depressed cause all the cute stuff is in a size 5... I don't want to be that small... I just don't understand why designers act as if big people don't want style... So... I'm a size 16 at the moment and hopeful.

Stay hopeful!! And find and store! That's crazy to only have cute stuff in a size 5.thats really small. Other places have to have a better selection. At 16 you are out of the plus size department... That is awesome!!

Funny you would say a 16 is out the plus size... I was led to believe plus starts at a size 12... I don't think I will ever see myself smaller... Unfortunately we don't see what others see. The verbal abuse I have suffered has been so damaging. Still trying to heal my mind along with my body.

Imani, it's so sad. Ill be damaged for years. :-( but we will be ok. You seem like a strong woman. I feel sorry for all of us who have had to endure the abuse.

Plus really starts at a 12w but regular clothes can go up to an 18. Weird!

12 is considered plus size!! That's crazy. No wonder so many women have horrible feelings about their self image.

Oh my gosh! How in the world can anyone consider a 12 to be plus size?! I would love to be that size! It shouldn't surprise me sine I have heard people say that Beyoncé is "thick". What a crazy world we live in.

I want to be a healthy size and stay on the lower end of my weight o. The little chart. 7-9 would be good, 3-5 would be high school not sure how I would look. Want to look healthy.

It is ridiculous wht society is doing to girls and women.

i was only ever in a 10 for about 2 weeks, sad sad sad, been much bigger my whole life, i am taller, but i think i will be happy at an 8 or maybe a 10. my husband doesn't want me to lose the round booty, but i hate it so we will have to find some middle ground. i am just afraid of not fitting in my clothes nicely because of excess skin.

I agree. I want to look good, feel good, and be within normal weight limits. No obese, no over weight... Just right! :0)

I am a size 26 and have been for 12 years. I will also be the 5th woman in my family to have weight loss surgery. I would love to be a size 14. I loved being that size!

      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.
