STOP IT!



Recommended Posts

Will whomever keeps putting the size 36 waist pants back in my closet stop it!

It seems like I go through my work pants every week and remove at least one pair of 36" waist pants (I wear a size 32).

Who keeps putting them back in there?????????

Doesn't it feel amazing to get rid of the "fat" clothes? I've been giving Goodwill bags full. The other day I found more size 16s and I'm a 12/10 now. I don't want that negative talk in my closet. Congratulations on your success!!!

@@Redmaxx Good for you .... Every time i went down in size, i cleaned out my closet and brought it all to a local second hand store (not goodwill) Now my closet only had 4 & 6's in it....

I packed a whole bag a few weeks ago. I started a new bag recently. However, I not only put clothes in there that are too big. I also put clothes and shoes in it I haven't worn in ages, e. g. I put some gloves and hats in there I no longer wear as well.

I just moved from TX to LA, and we're still in temporary housing. When I packed, I threw all my dress clothes in Rubbermaids and brought them with me to temporary housing. Some mornings, I grab 3 pairs of pants before I find ones that will stay up. Yesterday, I finally started going through the Rubbermaids and tossing out anything over a size 14 or an xl shirt. This means I'm now down to what clothing I've purchased since moving to Louisiana! All that space those Rubbermaids took up in the car was wasted! Doh. Ah well. Live and learn. Now to find the local salvation army to donate all those clothes to!

@@agirlhasnofluff what part of La? I always donate locally.... like a st Vincent's, or we have a local one that help mentally challenged people...

Or, donate to a shelter.

I stopped giving to salvation and goodwill after i found out how they handle things.... I rather give to places in my community.

I'm in St. Tammany. Salvation Army is actually a very good, reputable charity. They give back to the community and invest in actually helping people. Goodwill, however, does not! Salvation army is the only one I donate to, but I'll look into St. Vincent.

Although we all choose who our donations go to , it is worth considering it they help your community.

I happen to donate to a give back thrift store( $250k back to community organizations thus far) and animal help resale. But I do not choose to donate to some religious charities that are anti GLBT.

      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.
