Ok ladies, just cuz I'm trying to get in touch with my inner-selfie-ho, LOL, I have to confess to having Size10 envy from Silly's size 10 jeans. So I went and tried on my size 10 Gap skinny jeans and then remembered my sissy had given me her old size 8P brown jeans as an inspiration to "grow down to"!

And here are the photos! LOL. I should add, I actually wore the Gap jeans last night. And this morning--they were so tight, I have bruises on the front of my kneecaps where they bound me in. Who need Spanx with this guys! And I might add...no way would I have gotten these past my thighs if it weren't for the impressive and enormous amounts of lycra in the fabrics!!! ROFLMAO!

I found the Old Navy Tshirt for $1, and think the Gap jeans were either $1 on sale, or they were like $3 or something with senior discount at the thrift store.

Gap Jeans

Brown jeans (were so tight I might add that you can see my muffin top of loose jiggly puff skin at my waste!) ROFL!

Oh I might add, in the depths of my deep body dysmorphia and self-hatred-ish, I find it almost unbearable to look at these photos. Cuz I CAN see how far I've come, but rather than being proud of that, all I can think when looking at these is, "DG look at big my thighs are! And why don't I look like I'm a size 10 or 8? When my sis had the brown jeans on, she looked so tiny!!! She's about 1 1/2inches shorter than me and so petite. I still feel like Godzirra. UGH! :angry:

OMG! I just saw the vodka!!! Hilarious!!! I get it...you were being ironic. Right? ;) hahaha!

Mr. F used to ask me to mix vodka with his Emergin-C drinks. I forget what he called them... :lol:

And double btw, your measurments are LOVELY! And you are beautiful Green Tealael!

It's so weird how I am 100% authentic and sincere about my comments to you. You are so beautiful and have a darling figure in all the pics I've seen of you. You would fit very easily in these jeans! And you are a little smaller than me, but when I look at you--you look MUCH like MASSIVELY smaller than me. And I can't really give myself that same affirmation and love cuz I only see myself through critical eyes, I'm waiting to get to see a therapist, btw. LOL. Apparently, I have "issues." hehe!

Awwww thanks I appreciate the 💟, you look smaller than me tbh... And obviously gorgeous but honestly after flex fasting for the last month I've noticed a difference in how I look even if I don't lose weight, which was never my purpose, I can't help but feel like the fat is disappearing in different place than before. IDK am I crazy? I hope not...

Isn't that just so weird how we see ourselves??!! ((hugs)) I don't think you are cray. I think you are actively losing fat. And as someone here pointed out today (can't remember where), it IS possible to be gaining lean body weigh while losing fat so that the scale essentially stays the same. And the space occupied by 1lb of muscle is different than the space occupied by 1lb of fat. And IF is notorious for being muscle sparing while truly going for the fat first.

Ok! So I see you being MUCH smaller than me and adorable--nah--beautiful!!! I will try to take a pic of me in the only skirt I have now. Also a thrift store find. Liz Claiborne $1 no sh*t. And the same shirt from the other pic cuz they go together. :) hahaha And you will see how much smaller you look!! BTW I heart the color of your room. It's so happy and full of light!!!

BTW? Mr. F. called and said he didn't want leftovers and that he's had a hard day and wants to go to our cheap Italian place for dins. So he told me I have 45 minutes to get the fork out of my PJs (um, yes, still in pjs from this morning--although did wash face and brush teeth).

I'm either going to have my $2.50 chickie boob side with a small Grk salad for $3.50 (I will bring my own WF dressing) OR I will have the $2.50 chickie and the $2.99 spinach with garlic or broccoli. :) I do sooo love eating cheap! And buying clothes cheap!!! Kinda interesting how 2.5hours ago, the thought of making another meal was anathema to me. And now I'm like, "Whah? I don't have to cook? Meh...I could eat!" *sigh* (and I wonder how I got to be 325lbs... :( )

      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.
