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!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
