leggings ARE pants!



Recommended Posts

@@liannatx I am so excited about fall fashion for the first time! There are so many cute clothes to wear. I don't look good in everything, I try to dress for my body type but I think even before I looked ok in some clothes I was made to feel not fit enough to wear. Like probably these leggings. My give a crap meter is busted!

Funny you mention that....

On another bariatric site I kind of stalk, but don't really interact in, they have a "What are you wearing today?" Thread that's been going on for over a year because several members will post pictures daily what they are wearing, size, where they bought it from, etc....we may have to start something like that!

You look great in them!! And bag humbug to the naysayers.

I'm always amazed when I see that people won't wear things because of their size. Like you, I know some things don't flatter everyone... I know I'm not at a place to wear what you have on. But I do go sleeveless, wear dresses, shorts and even (thick) leggings! Now I just look better in them!!

@@dhrguru Thank you! I'm envious of women who have the confidence at any size to wear what they want! I always have been. I'm getting that confidence but still have some obstacles to get over. It's all one big process!

Rock it Elode! You look great. Who gives a damn about the fashion police. I find it kinda funny people can get offended by what you are wearing. I love to see people step out of the fashion cookie cutter and wear what makes them feel good. If you or @@Babbs start the what are you wearing today thread. I'm in.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
