I think that your jeans and your dresses are at least a size too big, and not making the most of your figure. There is also the self critical factor. We are the same weight (you're 1" taller & +5 lbs in these pics, so the same), and you'd tell me I was crazy if I said my waist is thick and my thighs were fluffy, right? No way would I even think of you as fluffy. I see you as svelte and slim with a perfect figure/proportion and smokin' hot! I just think I carry my weight differently (in my lower abdomen and booty/thighs in a jiggly loose sorta way. LOL. And yes, of course you're right...it's BD and a highly self-critical lens. I see myself very harshly and I don't apply that lens to others. *************** And of course you're right. It IS stinkin-thinkin lol!

My stomach is nowhere near flat, unless I will it to be with spandex. Even then I have a small pooch, which I am embracing as my "feminine shape" 😂 You're giving me too much credit and you too little 6 Bastian, Orchids&Dragons, Uterno and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you EVER heard anyone tell a Charcoal Briquet they are looking Especially Slim Today? Nope, me neither! So Frustr8's Sartorial Rebirth? Colors, prints, Maybe polka dots? Leggings, always envied others wearing them, Now I do in 17-19 JUNIORS,my original goal was a 15 Junior, so Achievable? Oh Yeah!.And a NSV - type Victory? Saw my profile as I passed something Reflective, I am still a Larger- than- Life person, this regenerated Tomboy will NEVER BE PETITE, but no booty protruding in the back, little if any Pooch in the front, I actually look like somebody You might want to meet and greet on the street instead of a Train Wreck of Flesh, And I Think I actually look Taller now! And you'll please Excuse my 💦 of Joy because although it too also happened for OTHERS it never did before for ME! Although the Bariatric Clinic has gone out of their way to ignore and frustrate ME, Thank You Again Dr Needleman ! Between your skill and my perseverance ---A Miracle has been Wrought! Frustr8 is Absolutely, Positively Fantabulous!🌈😛😛😛 4 Bastian, Lynnlovesthebeach, Aprilgal and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now please reassure me that no Spanx or tube socks were harmed in the making of this at home casual photo?

I've tried so many time to buy them, but it's like "Advanced" work for me and my eyes end up crossed and I get stalled with indecision about which is the correct version! And the foobs are still fine, but I still use the padding that came with my sports bras from Big Lots. They are perfect little bra stuffers to make you look full and fab!
