Fat Clothes Sure Take A Beating!



Recommended Posts

I'm down about 70 pounds. And I just realized not only was I abusing my body, but damn my poor clothes took a beating. Trying to squeeze into something that is tight as he!!, stretching shirts out, trying not to dry my jeans so they wouldn't shrink, and forget about the chub rub on my pants. I'm just now going down a size, it's not because I haven't lost enough weight, it's because I was always in denial trying to wear clothes that didn't fit properly.

Needless to say I am enjoying wearing my clothes, especially now that they fit appropriately.

That's funny. I couldn't figure out at first, how I had lost so much weight, but was not in new sizes yet. Then I realized that my clothes had stretched over time as I gained weight. Being overweight is also very abusive to shoes! Mine never last very long, but now that I am slimming down, I am hoping that my favorite pairs will last more than 4-6 months!

You are right, I just gave my favorite sweat suit a proper good bye last month. I wore the mess out of that suit cause it was the only thing that fit. Now I have a good variety.

Chitowngirl..you must be my sister from another mister! I did the exact same thing!!!! It's a wonderful feeling to be able to purchase clothes that fit. I am enjoying just going to regular stores and shop..how cool will it be when I can shop in the regular section instead of plus size!

Very funny. I still have all my plus size. Still can't believe, I will never wear plus size again. Was 22w, now 12-10 regular size. I still go straight to the plus size when I enter the store.

      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!!
