Anyone wear skirts now but didn't before??



Recommended Posts

I've always loved skirts and would wear them even when I was bigger. But now I'm in "normal" sizes, I can't stop buying new clothes and I especially love skirts and dress now. Buy what you like

I wouldn't normally wear skirts, but a friend of mine who is also losing weight gave me a bunch of her skirts that were too big on her. I've found that skirts are much better than pants during this weight loss phase. My pants get baggy in the butt and look pretty unflattering when they start to get too big, but the skirts still look fine when they're a size too big ... they just start to ride a little lower on the waist.

Skirts are also MUCH easier to take in while your losing also. Something I did for years instead of buying new outfits each time I lost. Was take in some of the clothing. A skirt can be the easiest thing to take in without ruining the look of it.

I actually have become obsessed with wearing jean skirts...instead of shorts i now own 5 skirts and love them!!!!! I guess its because i feeel good in them and confident... and not to mention girly for once instead of wearing clothes that never fit right and made me look like a blob/manly so to speak... I never want to go back to being that person again...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
