the shirt too small...



Recommended Posts

Don't we all have one? I have this awesome tan button up shirt, cut in at the waist, very clean fitting and tailored. I would try this shirt on randomly through the last couple of years watching it slowiing slip away from being able to button it, much less being able to wear it. So..there it hang...in the very back of the closet.."maybe one day I will fit into it again", I would say.

That day would be Sunday, this past weekend. Looking for church attire, Wanting something to fit my new in transition body, I searched for anything to wear, and there it was. "Oh why not try?", I thought to myself. Yep, it fit. another small thing will a huge impact. My old "new" shirt made me happy. I wish all of you old "new" shirts. Keep up the good work!:tongue:

That is a great feeling. But, unfortunately, soon you will be unable to wear it again as it gets TOO BIG!! I had that happen with some favorites. You will find plenty of new favorites for the new you.

I have a dress in the closet, that I never wore. It is about five years old, but brand new! LOL.

I want to fit into it!!!!!

Not sure I will ever wear it once it fits, as I'm not sure, I'll still like the style after all this time. But I am keeping it until it does fit and then I hope it eventually gets too big.

I'll be sure to post, if I get into one day!

Oooh - I had one!! It was a white button down shirt that my sister bought me over 3 years ago for my birthday. It never fit.

I put it on last Sunday to wear to church and it finally fit!! Not tugging over my chest or nothing!! And, wouldn't you know it, the top button popped off before I left the house so I didn't actually get to where it :frown:

I'm with you Kristen. If it weren't for the non-scale victories, I wouldn't know that I had lost an once. I never really saw myself as being that big (even at 277lbs) except in pictures, so I guess it is only fitting that I can't really see the loss. It kinda worries me though, I have lost 102 lbs now, how much will I lose before I can see it? Will I be satisfied when I reach my goal? I hope so.

By the way, there is a thread in this forum for non-scale victories and it would be great if some of you shared your stories there too. They are inspirational!

      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.
