How To Feel Fabulous!



Recommended Posts

Not wanting to waste money on clothes that I could not wear very long, I kept wearing all my baggy clothes.

I even had a box of smaller clothes I dug out and those were now to baggy.

I heard one of my favorite stores was closing (Fashion Bug), so I took a little trip there and it was true, she told me things were being reduced and soon they would close and to choose wisely because all sales are final. I bought a few things and WOW.

Wearing things that fit can really make you feel fabulous. Now when I go to work I know I look good.

Even tho I have not made my goal I do know that I look and feel so much better then I did 6 months ago.

So I encourage all of you that are still wearing those baggy clothes to go get a few new things, even if you can't wear them in a couple months it is so worth a hundred dollars to feel like a million dollars.

I was always amazed at how much more people commented about my weightloss when I wore clothes that fit. I think it is hard to do it when we are use to wearing baggy clothes to "hid". I even would go as far as to say clothes felt tight when they actually fit but the clothes I wore were so baggy I wasn't use to wearing them correctly.

Congrats to you and good luck!

I agree! I just did some shopping today. I was a 24-26 in January and today I could go into Lane Bryant and pretty much fit in to any 16 and some 14 tops. I was amazed! And yes, people do make more positive comments when your clothes fit you better. What a great feeling!

Congrats to you!

Congrats Grandma! Its so true that wearing clothes that fit makes you feel wonderful. I went shopping today and was thrilled, I now fit in a size 14! First time in 30 years. Bought 2 outfits, can't wait to wear them to work next week. We are so worth it! :-)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
