It’s hot today and I’m working at home. But!!! I fit in these comfy size L shorts! Okay, so they are Lucy, which runs big, but still!

And, to think I thought it HOT here in our sub-tropic parts this summer!... Actually cool compared to the heat generated here with the ladies in their gorgeous new bodies and outfits! Congratulations! Loving the fashion show. So nice to be in regular clothing departments again, right? I'll post in the future when closer to my goal. ;]

I meant to comment on this last night: holy crap is it adorable! The skirt and tights especially. I love the colors together.

Thanks. It’s actually a dress. I love wearing funky tights but they are so hard to find in the shops, all they seem to have is boring black.

Has anyone noticed how hard it is to buy clothes. I ordered a heap of dresses etc online and had to send a lot of them back as they were miles too big. That would have been fine if they had a smaller size to swap for but they didn’t. The one dress was really cute and even had pockets but it just hung like a sack!

I had a conversation about this with a pal the other day. We were talking about my planned arm lift later this year. She asked me why i felt the need to get it done, and that I should not care what anyone else thinks.
I explained that I don’t care what anyone else thinks (Edit: I also care about what those near and dear to me think, like Mr and the Kid, but they think i’m awesome under all circumstances, so it’s all good [emoji173]️), but I care alot about what I think. Like the sleeve surgery, I didn't do it for other people, I did it for me.
I really dislike my flappy arms. Its a feature of my body that I try to camouflage, like an annoying pimple in the middle if my forehead. Now, Im not going to circle this pimple with a red sharpie, but I will probably put some concealer on it. Lol.
Good analogy about the pimple

Tuck. Always tuck. Shows off your figure [emoji4]
I've been tucking a lot more lately. And that's when I get the most comments about how I've lost weight and look good.

yeah...sometimes I resort to child size clothing (*sigh*). I have several items in my closet that are hand-me-downs from my 13yr old 🙄

@336Mike: did you get your tattoos before or after your weight loss?

I'm also considering buying some child/junior sized clothes. I also find that my kids clothes fit me better because I'm short 😭

      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.
