Hmm.... that's weird, Clo-bee... I do not know.

Ok, so... my name is Mandi. I have a problem. I'm enjoying buying stuff way too much. I went to Pennington's again, cause I wanted one more, maybe 2 of these bustier type bras, cause I'm in love with the one I bought a couple weeks ago. They're already half price, and now their having a buy one, get the 2nd 40% off sale right now. Grabbed 2 bras, one in my current size, and one a little smaller. "Hey, I should try ANOTHER size 16 jeans on.", I think. Go look in the sale rack, find some for $24.99. Then I grab some 18's, just in case. (they're actually the EXACT same ones I have, but in a size 26!)

Once again, I think, "no way are these coming up", BUT THEY DO! I continually amaze myself. Now, like the other ones.... I just don't feel very comfortable in them. I MIGHT be able to be ok wearing them with a hoody. But... I got them, cause I WILL fit in them, SOON!

And besides, I'm a shorty (who woulda though 5'6" was short?), and they're too long. This time I bring them to someone to shorten 'em, I'm making sure she has thread that MATCHES!

That's my confession.

that's okay Mandi....it all relates to NSVs.....so shop away!!! (within budget, of course!!) LOL.

By the way, I'm 5'5" and I ALWAYS have to get pants shortened unless I can find them in the petitie length (then they are puuuuurfect). Mr Yoda gets a kick out of the fact that I will buy "capris" and they are the right length for me (ie. full length)....hardy har har!!!

Personally, I'd like to know who the hell these tall women are that the pants all seem to be made for....cause when I look around....I'm the average height....so where are these 5'9" women hangin' out?

How come other people's quotes come up nicely highlighted, mine just come up looking dumb??:rolleyes:

seriously though Cloe...you do press "quote" on the bottom right corner, correct? If you do and it still get screwy, it might be because you are editing the quote and thereby inadvertently removing the stuff that says "

" (as an example) stuff at the beginning and end of the quote. If you remove that stuff, it makes it not highlighted etc.

Hope that helps....(see I AM helpful sometimes!).

;)

You gals must have short legs, cause I am 5'4 and I bought petit pants by accident (they were on sale ...thought I'd get 2 pair one was P) and they were too short.

That's weird... and what *I* thought... that PETITE pants were for, like, 5'0"'s!

I'd also like to add, that I think I almost got dirty looks when I walked into Penningtons, from my fellow shoppers. Then I panicked a little when I thought of having to shop in a regular store. I hope I somehow slide into a size that's not quite THE biggest in regular stores.... ya know?

Oh, woe is me. :faint:

ummmm okay....ya....that's true.....I did neglect to mention that fact. *sigh* I do have realllllllllllly short legs.

For someone 5'5", my legs should be a lot longer than they are.

Tks for reminding me of my SHORT LEGS, Lila!!!

:nervous

Yoda, get a measuring tape, and measure the inside of your leg, from your crotch to the floor, and we'll compare! You too Lila. You're an inch shorter than Yoda, and 2 shorter than me.... we'll see what the difference. *I* don't think I have short legs!!

I couldn't find a real tape measure so I used a six inch ruler and a piece of string (looked real goofy!!)

My inseam is 30 inches and I buy normal length pants.

Hmm... I did the same, and I too am 30". I know sometimes you can find jeans (or pants) in many sizes and if you're lucky, varying inseams, but not very often for me. They always seem to be at least a 32"

I guess mine must be shorter, cause being 2 inches taller, my legs should be 2" longer. How bout you, Yoda?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
