Another NSV for me! Wearing a dress!



Recommended Posts

A dress I was able to find in their clearance section in a size 12! I was so excited!! Shopping has been so awkward actually looking in the "standard size" sections and grabbing a size too big instead of too small. It's taking my brain some time to adjust to look for a large or even a medium sometimes instead of 2XL. post-257611-14704373843926_thumb.jpg

I always knew it was black and white!! All kidding aside, you look great!! I, too, feel like an imposter in the regular section. It's such a weird feeling!

Haha my husband said the same thing. He's like isn't that the dress everyone was debating about?! Lol guess it's still popular

I also feel like an imposter in the standard size stores also. I still feel like people will stare at me and be like whys this girl shopping here?

I also have a hard time dressing myself because I really started packing the pounds on at 27 transitioning into wife and mom phase, so now at almost 33 I know that I shouldn't be looking at the junior section even though I think some things are cute but in my head I'm like am I too old for this look? lol

I've always been a curvy girl and so I always carried my weight in my breasts and in my hips and thighs. So I've always been proportionate to say the least. But I would love to lose 100lbs in total. I think I would be ultimately happy in the 150-155 range. But I may need to get a breast reduction to achieve that! And thank you for the compliment! There is always room for improvement! Congrats on your surgery 28lbs down already is amazing!

You look amazing and at 33 you can totally shop in the juniors section. A little bit! Be a fashion editor and pick out a few pieces.

      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.
