I hate my body. I hate Halloween.



Recommended Posts

I looooove Halloween but I've been trying to find a costume since August for a friends wedding on Halloween. I've been stressing out. I've tried on I know 50 costumes and I can't find anything. It's sooooo frustrating. So I gave up and I'm going to wear my black "funeral" dress and a cape. It's not fair. I was like bawling my eyes out in the dressing room when the ONE 3x didn't fit right. It's hopeless.

Have you looked for anything online? They usually have bigger sizes and more variety. Even if you just have a black dress you can still play it up to be Halloweeny with some cool accessories

I love Halloween but all this candy around is driving me crazy. But I haven't had a single piece!

I know how you feel. I haven't dressed up on Halloween for years because I could never find anything that looked good on me. The last time I bought a costume, I was around 165ish and I was so convinced I looked cute. I had this super cute purple and black tutu, and lacey stockings, and this black corset top. I put so much effort into perfect outfit- the fat ballerina. Then the guy that I thought I was going to go out with on Halloween stood me up and went out with other people...dressed like a big stupid banana. That was around 5 years ago I think. I kept a picture of myself in that costume to remind myself that I would never, ever be stupid again and think that I could go out looking cute for Halloween. Babbs if you are reading this, I hear your voice in my head telling me that this was a silly thing to think! :)

Funny enough though, he and I are still friends and now that I am thin and fabulous, he would love to go out with me and yet I have zero interest in him.

You will get your turn...maybe not this year, but next year is coming. All of the misery of the surgery and losing the weight will be worth it when you slide your hot, sexy self into next year's costume. :)

I am going as a ballerina this year... a hot damn ballerina that never needed that big ugly banana anyway. ;)

My husband gave me 25 dollar budget. Good luck finding a plus size for that.

I'm not all about crotch sparklers. Sorry. :-/ lol.

I'm sorry but you wouldn't even be able to find a regular dress for that price

if you like, send me a picture of the dress you have, I'm pretty crafty maybe I can give you some ideas on how you can spruce it up

@@Tssiemer1 it's going to be awesome in all the future Halloweens.

@@Elode nailed it. Think about how fun the costumes for next year's Halloween are going to be.

Make the best of it this year, but keep in mind where you will be this time next year. Let it cheer you up. You are going to be able to do any type of costume you can think off......or more importantly, you'll be able to do costumes that you haven't even allowed yourself to see wearing. It's going to be amazing.

Hang in there and know there's going to be all types of fun times ahead.

So how did you all do for Halloween? We had an HOA dinner and movie and of course a costume contest. As for the dinner there was not much I could have eaten if I had the surgery all ready. But since I am still on the 6 month supervised diet I did have the main dish of Pasta,,just a small amount.

As for the movie we watched hocus pocus. Someone dressed as Dorthy from the wizard of oz won. I went as a devil. Here is my picture. How about the rest of you?devilgrowl_zps1tobi9o8.jpg

      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.
