Motivation Clothes



Recommended Posts

I was on holidays just before christmas and bought 3 gorgeous tops and a skirt that are all a little too small for me and I am going to hang them up in my room to motivate me. Up until now I have been loving the fact that some of my clothes that haven't fitted me for a few years now look great.

Interesting thread - I did have some smaller sizes hidden away but ...

NOW I'M WEARING THEM!!!

I have a skirt I wore 10 years ago to a Christmas party, size 12 that I wear quite a bit and love it. I don't have anything smaller then a 12 right now and I'm slowly losing so it might be a long time til I fit into a 10 but I have all this Christmas cash to spend and I'm so undecided on what to do. Should I buy the smaller sizes and wait to get into them or buy stuff that fits and I'll be out of in a few months... what to do? what to do?

Sigh....decisions, decisions. Target.com has winter coats on sale for $30 so I bought three new coats in smaller sizes....but now I'm afraid that by next winter they will be too big!!

FairyFacade, rather than my mothers, I am getting my daughter's hand me downs as well as another bandsters clothes. Right now I'm shopping cheap and buying very few clothes until I lose more weight. I need to buy a few more pants, I can get away with the tops cause its winter and I can pretty much keep a sweater over the tops. I'm so excited about wearing my daughters clothes (she has been such a doll about sharing). I'm 55 and she's 35, so some are not too frilly for a old lady like me. lol

Yeah that's how it should be.. moms 'being able to' fit into their daughters clothes. My whole life was going to stores, we find something super cute & trendy.. and they don't go plus. But my mom could wear them. I know I cried many times about that. I use to try to squeeze into her clothes when I was younger. Before they had the trendy plus size clothes, I remember getting a pair of her jeans under my belly but couldnt zip them.. and I wore it with a huge sweater over it, so you couldn't see the jeans were closed. Dark days lol.

dh purchased a size medium leather coat for me for x-mas. at first, my feelings were hurt, because i didn't want to be reminded that i am fat on x-mas eve (i haven't lost weight). then the more i thought about it, the more excited i was. so, i'm hanging it in my closet where i will see it every day. (he thought that was only one size too small..thinking that i wear a large, but i wear a 1x, so....)

haha..the last time i could wear anything of my mother's was 4th grade (and i did not become overweight until college). my mom wore a size 12 in little girls when i was that age, and she is 4'10". i couldn't even wear her shoes because she wears little girl shoe sizes. when i was in high school i was a size 5 (i was thin, but had wide hips), she wore a size 0...yuck!! now she is a 5, so maybe one day!!!

that's okay bandster, we will get to that size 12, gosh, I'd be happy to get to a 14.:clap2: LOL

I think I'm losing inches rather than a lot of weight but nevertheless, it's leaving.

My dh is going to go buy me something that he wants to see me in (if you know what I mean). The only thing I told him was to get it in a size 12.

i went to kmart today and Walmart on christmas eve

and got some 16 petite pants and XLG tops. they fit now.

today i tried on 14 petites and i could get them over my hips

but they weren't too comfortable around the waist. i need to work on that area more. now i'm loving getting clothes that fit me instead of the 3X, 2X, ETC. it's great to get into some smaller sizes. i have a size 12 bathing suit waiting for me. lol

Well...my birthday is in a few weeks, so I'll be getting more mad money...I'm sure I'll be purchasing some more motivation clothes with my birthday money. I always buy clothes with my birthday money, because the sales are so good, I'll just have to guess a little at the sizes now. Right now I'm mostly sticking to XL tops which is basically one size smaller than I am now. I wear a 20/22 in jeans now, so I have bought some 18's and 16's. My absolute goal is to be able to soon fit back into my all time favorite pair of size 16 Gap jeans (but they fit more like a 14).....wish me luck all!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
