    • Heck yeah! I lost this weight and I'm showing it off!

    • Nah...*I* know I look good. I don't need to flaunt it.

Okay, I thought I'd try and get something going in the thirties. When/as you lose weight, would you wear a mini skirt? I'm not talking obscene, just pretty short.

I find I'm having to re-evaluate everything I wear. Is it appropriate. Do I look good enough to wear it. Husbands are no help! :-)

Just thought this might be fun. What are your thoughts?

I voted no as well. I do, however, have a mini skirt that I have worn. I'm only 5'0" tall so it comes to my knees. Nothing mini about that. I really won't go any shorter than that.

I buy long shorts as well. I do have some that are a little shorter but I'm not comfortable wearing those out yet.

Oh - and no DH is no help. He's wanting to buy me leathers to get on his motorcycle. I think he wants to show me off way more than I do.

For DH's eyes only, if he wanted me to, yes.

In public, no. My thighs look like socks full of quarters. Add to that the baggy weightloss skin making skin folds on my inner thighs. As if that weren't enough, I'm knock-kneed. Anyone turned on yet?

I also do try to be age-appropriate. I know, not always a popular notion, but it works for me.

And oh yeah, the height thing. I'm just shy of 6'. A "miniskirt" would fit me like a belt.

I voted no, lol. I'm 40, the LAST thing I want to be is mutton dressed as lamb. I'm really not into that whole high heels, mini skirt full face of make up kinda look on anyone over about 25. Not my style at all.

I'm quite happy to wear a just above the knee skirt though, in fact I just bought myself one and a nice pair of boots.

I'll be 40 or close to it when I finally reach goal, with lumpy, saggy thighs. I'm thinking I should skip the miniskirt and stick with some nice, fitted jeans, maybe with Spanx underneath to smooth out the lumps. :tongue_smilie: People will thank me for sparing them the horror.

But then, I couldn't pull off a mini even when I was the right age for it and skinny. Some women, slim or not, just aren't... sexy. Kwim? It's like dressing your Pug in a frilly bonnet. It's cuter without the hat.

At 6ft tall, I think I would scare most folks away...I always fear that I will look like a dude dressed as a woman.

Oh, and Jachut..mutton dressed as lamb is one of my FAVORite expressions. too funny.

I don't really wear skirts as my thighs rub...ow's that for sexy?

Dude, you so offended me. Just bc you are 6 foot doesn't mean you can't rock a mini skirt! DUDE!

I voted no, mostly cause My inner thighs have saggging skin issues. Lol.

Oh me too! Everything I wear must be knee length. I even wear a sarong with my bathing suit to cover those suckers!!!:thumbs_down:

same here - at 5'1, there are no such things as mini's, which is a good thing because i've not had a dress or skirt on in at least 8yrs. got married in jeans & tee, then again it was vegas.

hubby - another story, he went online and ordered me SHORT Shorts from wicked weisel??? there is absolutely nothing attractive about those:eek:

Um, no. I have little kids and I am always bending over, sprawled on the floor, reaching for something on the ground so me in a mini skirt equals problems. Big problems!

Ha! I was a sarong CONSTANTLY too! From mid-thigh up, my legs are grotesque (to me). From mid-thigh down, I think they look great! As long as a skirt goes to mid-thigh, I think I'd wear it :-)

BooBooKitty,

I am not just 6ft tall, I am muscular and very broad shouldered...I seriously would look like a female impersonator. It's just not pretty. Trust me!

Dude,

      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.
