What Is Your Ideal Size?



Recommended Posts

Im a 22/24 now. At my healthiest I was a 10. Im also 5'10 so I think anything smaller would make me look unhealthy.

My surgery is scheduled for 2/25/13. I am a 60-year-old and fashion really does not concern me, my health does and it is in awful shape. All my extra weight is in the middle.

I would be happy at a 10/12, anything less and I think I would be sickly looking.

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.

I know what u mean about the abuse. Mine was mainly emotional from my husband and verbal from his GF. I'm healing my mind as well. I've come a long way, but still have more to go. Good luck!!!

I feel fine. Everyone keeps telling me that I look really frail and too thin. I feel like I should keep losing weight. It's like I'm not content until I feel skinny. I've been told that I looked my best when I was in my size 6 jeans. Im like you. I know I'm slim..but I don't feel skinny yet. I know that a size 0 must be skinny..but I don't feel skinny. I dunno, it's a mental thing. I'm still not happy with my body. I think I'll feel better once all the baggy skin comes off. I've already had a Tummy Tuck but my thighs, butt and boobs belong to an 80 year old woman.

Hello IDK if it has to do with not meeting my weight goal by age 34 which passed 12/7 I'm stuck at 127 and I see my surgeon(they change date to earlier) to this Friday. I wanted to be 125lbs either by the time I hit 34 or by the time I see the surgeon. I feel so down. I now feel I will never make it,and yeah I know losing 84lbs it's a lot,but i feel that if I didn't have so many stalls I would had made it,but oh well... Now I have a new goal to hit 125lbs by January 1, 2013 then if not then by my surgery anniversary May 30, 2013 if not by June 1, 2013 but I want to be 110lbs by then. I'm gonna make it. I have to.

I believe You're right about no such thing as perfection. It, in my mind, is similar to an opinion. Your perfection may not be my perfection, but every body has a sense of theirs. Yes we or some one will always have something to complain about :-(

I am 5'4". I don't know what size I would want to be but I know my goal weight is 120-125. I am at 204 now. When I was skinny I always had a butt, so I am sure that will stay with my luck. Boobs are getting smaller which I can deal with. They weren't that big in the first place but a pain working out. Lol. I want to be really toned. As toned as I can get. My goal is not to have to get any surgery to fix anything. Being 23 I hope my skin stretches back as much as it can but my skin loves stretch marks so who the heck knows if that will happen much! Nov. 2nd was my surgery. Once tax time comes I am signing up for my gym membership (since my brother just closed his which I was on :( ) and working hard!

The funny thing is I could never imagine myself skinny or small but I always wanted to be a size 14... to be anything smaller than what I am is a blessing!! I'm currently a 18/20 depending on the store but to know I could possibly be in the single digits is amazing and unbelievable!! I guess 150/160 would be a my ideal weight

You know I never really thought about it....just want to get off BP meds and be able to buy clothes in a regular store. I've never been smaller than size 12 other than one outfit that was a size 10. 12 would be cool but, I'm keeping things open. :)

      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.
