I Don't Know How To Shop Lol......



Recommended Posts

So last night I went to a concert. I can slowly feel my self-esteem growing as my weight goes down. For so long I hated going out and hated taking pictures. My weight loss is slow but I am feeling great. Joined the Y and I'm loving exercising, Water Zumba is definitely my favorite!!! Anyway yesterday went to shop at Marshalls to buy a dress for the concert and I didn't have to shop in the plus sizes. I am so happy because my discount stores such as Marshall and TJ Maxx have horrible choices in plus size. I brought my dress in the regular section and it's a large. It's funny because I continued to pick out really large clothes to try on and they were too big. When I did try on smaller sizes I almost fainted because they fit. So to all my sleeve people the scale may move slow but it doesn't always mean you aren't getting smaller and toned.

I love my sleeve!!!

I understand what you're saying. I can't seem to get my head to look at clothes that I "think" are too small. It's getting frustrating because I have to try on 2 or 3 sizes to find one that isn't hanging off me!

But, I say we should enjoy this dilemma!! :)

You look great!!! Keep up the food work. I haven't gone shopping yet but my current clothes aren't feeling as snug as they use to. I'm ecstatic about that. I'm only 2 weeks out tomorrow so I'm hoping this time next month, I can shop a little bit!!

You look fabulous! Thankfully, I have a decade of yo-yo dieting clothes from size 12 to size 22. :-). That's the one good thing about having had the lap band already.

Everything I've purchased is flexible so i can wear it for awhile. I haven't purchased any pants or jeans cause i have about 60 pounds left. I, have a lot of long flowy skirts they are cool for the spring and have an elastic waist so hopefully they will last a little longer. I just dropped off a bag of clothes at gw. good luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
