Like many of us I have struggled with my weight and fantasized about what I would wear if I wasn't fat. I've tried to maintain a tidy and maybe even slightly fashionable look, even at my highest weight but come on, let's get real! There are some outfits that just don't hang well on a bulky frame.

I think everyone's got their thing; that secret sartorial thing that we've longed for and that is symbolic of getting where we always wanted to be etc. For some it's mile high heels, for others the perfect pair of designer jeans.

For me the ultimate would be a string bikini, the kind that ties at the sides. Aside from that, I want to wear a clingy sleeveless tank-style above the knee dress, in the kind of material that shows every dimple and chunk if you aren't totally sleek. Hey I said these were dream outfits!

What's yours?

My biggest size was 28W / 3X tops. I was squeezing my big butt in them too.

I lost 50 Lbs all on my own before band surgery. I noticed I was having trouble keeping it off so that's why I looking into WLS. Besides I still needed to lose 130 Lbs!

After banding I got down to 227, and was in size 14 / XL and sometimes L. Those weren't womens sizes either!! It was so nice being able to shop in normal clothing stores and picking out practically anything I wanted. YEAH!!! I hadn't worn that size in over a decade...

Well then the problems started and the weight regain began. I'm back up into 22W / 1X!!!

I personally would just be sooo happy to get back into all these clothes in my closet... really. They are so cute and I spent alot on them. It would be nice to be able to wear a shirt and it be more form fitting and I don't feel so self conscious about my huge belly. :sad0:

I'm hoping by this time next year I will be able to wear a cute sundress. Actually any type of dress/skirt and not have sweat run down my legs as they rub together!

an above the knee skirt with a pair of black knee boots and a sleeveless top.I have a very sporty style reguardless so Id also like a pair of J-lo Camo carpentar Capris with a tank top is that too much to ask? LOL..Hell I would be satisfied with a pair of printed Aeropostale sweats and a fitted T...Damn I cant wait..:thumbup1::bananahuge:
