Goodbye last of the fat clothes



Recommended Posts

We all must have been doing the same thing over the holidays.. I have also finally gotten rid of the last of my too big clothes, the robe was the final piece. It was a crutch. I starting thinking that if I kept a wardrobe of bigger clothes I was kind of giving myself permission to gain, and I was prepared "Just in case". I finally decided screw it, if I gain enough to go up a size, then I deserve to Pay for it... literally. We all have our comfy clothes, that's differnt. A whole wardrobe bigger is my fat girl mentality. And I want to leave her back in 2013.

Happy New Year!!

At two years out I have a totally new wardrobe. I was a 16 and now anything bigger than a four is gone. It seemed like it took forever to get to 12 and 14 then it went very quickly. I have been pretty stable for the past six months and left no room for me to gain. I refuse to buy bigger clothes. The first batch was really hard, then it seemed I had a constant donate pile for a year. It feels good to buy clothes I can hopefully stay in forever. Even my feet are smaller.

I am so looking forward to these moments. I am down to wearing:

my last stretchy black dress ... bursting at the seams

my last stretchy work skirt... bulging at the waistband

my last pair of legging... hardly ever wear these as leggings are so unflattering

and precisely ZERO pairs of jean... as I just can't face wearing super tight jeans and I refuse to buy any more as over a certain size I don't wear jeans at all :(

Still nervously waiting preop for a date for my sleeve surgery.

Hit the thrift store girl... then give them back when you shrink out of them. No need to punish yourself at the last minute!

I just went through my closet again for like the 4th time... I still managed to find a black garbage bag worth of too big cloths to give away... I thought I had given them all up except two pairs of giant pants for the record!

      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
