Passing For Thin - Support Thread for Those Approaching Goal



Recommended Posts

It's really nice losing weight. I just love it. But I hate shopping!

Is anyone else tired of buying something new, and having it not fit the next time you want to wear it? I really need to hit up the thrift stores. I am really sick of shopping, even if I did get a good deal on it. I buy it because I like it, but then it's too big already.

Yeah, that has been happening to me too. I keep on giving clothes away. I have been taking hand me downs from friends, like doing a clothing exchange type of thing. I have also been digging into the box of clothes that fit me years ago in a short time I lost weight and I thought would never fit me again! And they fit now and even getting loose!!!

I am the same way. I hardly ever get rid of anything. I have a huge attic. I have clothes I am wearing from 20 years ago before I had my kids. Nothing out of style, just t shirts and I love flannel shirts.

They are getting too big too.

What's worse is when your not quite 11 year old wears bigger undies than you do!!

DH folded the laundry for me a couple of weeks ago, and had put the larger (DS's) undies in my drawers thinking they were mine, and given DS my undies thinking they were his! The following morning DS comes to me to complain that his undies are too small. Guess who's undies he was wearing! Poor little bugger was so freaked out that he was wearing Mum's undies! I haven't laughed that hard in ages.

OMG Chickie!!!! I hope he has not been scarred for life, poor baby! :D

OMG, poor poor boy....rotfl......funniest thing I ahve heard lately!

I only buy sale items now and shop mostly at a resale shop. I take my clothes there and sell them. SO I get money to buy new clothese there. It is a really nice shop too, mostly "high" name brand at lower prices! I can not wait to know what size I really am going to be so I can buy some business suits. I have not worn one in about a year to work, and it is killing me! lol...

Update on my progress in "Passing for Thin"

I've been trying to weigh a little less often -- like maybe 2-3 times a week instead of every day. This has been easier to do since I've been recuperating at my parents' house and am not home in my routine, which involves the morning weigh in. Anyway, I'd decided to maintain my weight while I was home. Losing is always exciting, but I need to try to maintain for several reasons, including being strong enough to jump straight into another surgery in a month. Anyway, I've been eating bandster quantities and making many good choices, but eating many more treats or restaurant meals than I normally would. I woke up this morning freaking out that I might have gained a couple of pounds. I looked in the mirror and my chest didn't seem as bony, my legs seemed a little heavier. So I went to weigh and low and behold, I was down 1/2 lb.

All this goes to show is that I'm still frustrated with my inability to see what's in the mirror. I guess that will come with time, once my body quits changing.

      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.
