Sightseeing today!

I never thought this is where I would be at 50 years old and a grandma.

Outfit of the day. I love having girly moments in dresses, but this is what I normally wear.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I’m currently in Brazil so everything I got is pretty casual.

I just realized after reading @Saved4Ever post that I never bought plus size clothing because of vanity sizing that is available. I could still wear JJill xl or even L in certain things for sure. I simply wouldn’t buy anything if it didn’t fit in “regular sizes”. I think it gave me a warped view how big I actually was while I was gaining. It is crazy an obese person can wear brands that are labeled regular to boost sales. It did more harm than good for me.
Looking back I realize it was getting harder to find things and that was when I asked my Dr about options.
To answer your question I donated my clothes.

So, everyone is looking amazing! What did you do with all of your other (should I say, Big clothes)? Someone made the statement about shopping for cheaper clothes and still look good. I always fret when in Catos, instead of going over to the right after entering the door (the "Skinny Side") I am hoping no one is paying attention to me going to the left (obese side). You have to feel AWESOME to know you no longer have to shop in those sections of the stores anymore!

This was an awesome thread! You all look Fabulous, Amazing and down right Fantastic! Great Work and I know you are all feeling GREAT! Thank you all for sharing!

I'm heading out for an early dinner, meeting Boo's son for the first time. 😳 Trying to look uber casual, like this is nbd. I totally didn't try on 10 outfits, or anything like that .... 😬

I think this is a combo of body dysmorphia and not wearing fitted enough clothes.
I think that your jeans and your dresses are at least a size too big, and not making the most of your figure.
There is also the self critical factor. We are the same weight (you're 1" taller & +5 lbs in these pics, so the same), and you'd tell me I was crazy if I said my waist is thick and my thighs were fluffy, right?

I'm so impressed and inspired by all of you wearing sleeveless tops. My Elle Woods outfit is one of the few sleeveless outfits I own, and I had some trepidation about wearing it. Goes to show we are all more critical of ourselves, than anyone else is.

Date night (and it’s about 100 degrees today)

POD-doctor's outfit.
So seriously--damn you body dysmorphia. At 133lbs I "feel" thin in my body. You know? Or at least normal. I can now look in the mirror and think I just simply look normal. Right? But when I look at these pics in outfits I used to feel thin in, I think I look heavier than when the jeans were on the tight side. They are now on the loose side of life and I need to go down to an 8 in them. And my waist looks so "thick" (and clearly so do my fluffy thighs). *sigh* Anyone else have this issue even in their super hot outfits?

Adorable!!! Can I be you when I grow up? (Or alternately, can I just lose 15 more pounds and come live in your closet? )

Off I go to Wrigley! Hydration will be number 1 concern today.

Off to a Christmas in July day with my quilt group. I'm going to need a couple more layers before I venture outside, its freezing.

Practically everything I own is polka dot or striped. I love all these outfits. This is my super cheap comfortable t-shirt dress I live in. Nothing fancy, throw and go.

Ok, here was yesterday's dress. I gotta say though, I feel great and thin in it, but it looks too big for me in the pics! And now I feel like I look frumpy in it a



After seeing all y'all bangin' bods and adorable dresses!

This is what I put on to go to the grocery store earlier today. It's actually a swimsuit coverup...but its the only tank-like summer dress I own that fits me at the moment (...and the "arm up" pose is to camouflage my batwing 😉... I should walk around with my arms up all day 😂 )

Too darling! Are those the Old Navy Pixie pants? So cute!

Joining because I need a boost 🚀😁
Im swollen and puffy but still wearing skin tiight jersey dresses. Accessory of the day... Electrolyte Water 😂

Polka Dots today! Have a working session in a very casual office today

Cute outfits! I’ll play too.
