Feeling guilty



Recommended Posts

I feel guilty because I went to Dressbarn today with the intent to buy one shirt with my gift card from Christmas. Well, I walked out with a few more. I found 3 on the sale rack and the other 3 I paid full price for. They are all smaller sizes and I felt terrific trying them on. I'm sad to know they'll be too big in a few months and that I spent that money.

You deserve to have a few new things through every stage of weight loss! I am not going to wear my old clothes that look ridiculously big just because I haven't finished!! :)

You can donate them afterwards or I've had friends that have asked for things when I'm done!

I've been giving things away, but I just feel guilty about spending the money. I do know my confidence is up when I have on nice clothes that compliment me and my shrinking size. That feeling is amazing!

Go somewhere like Plato's Closet...they buy your clothes.

I feel the same way , I have lost 42 lbs went from a size 20 and 2 x , to a misses 18 and XL top ... so every time I go to the store i am happy to buy new things,,, but i have limited myself for the same reason ... I hate to spend so much when i dont know how long i will be able to wear it .... the thing that i have started to do , is to go to the thrift shops and if I find bottoms , I will buy some new tops or vise versa so that i can put together some outfits.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
