How do you know you're a vet? You have at least one pic of yourself in one leg of your old pants!

Here's mine. Let's see yours!

Laura- Ven- now you've done it. I have officially lost sight, brain matter, and dinner after seeing that picture.

Okay I will share. I haven't done the pants things ON me so stay tuned...will have to try that soon.

Edited to add: funny these are both a pair of "capri" jeans, notice how much the length changes to accommodate the belly...

Here I am wearing BOTH of these shirts (before and after)

Here are the sizes of the shirts:

Before 4x

After L

Good job girlie!!

You look so pretty in your after.

Oh I like the pics with you wearing the shirts!

Man I was just going to say I wish I had one of me wearing the big pants back in the day, but honestly I'm glad I don't... If someone had actually managed to get a picture of that? I might not be living and breathing today (neither would they)

Honestly the way I ran from pictures! Ok waddled. And threatened!

It was self preservation, if I saw me in print I would be thrown into a bigger depression than I already was on a daily basis

So many family memories on film and I'm missing.

Thanks Laura...

I know what you mean about going MIA in family memories. That purple shirt, I thought "ah ha! I will get the 4X to cover ALL the rolls of fat" and then someone happened to snap this photo of me at my cousin's daughter's 2 year old bday party and I went HOLY SH*T I guess that 4X wasn't really working for me.

But that L, yeah it's not a M or S or XS, but I will gladly take it!

You look amazing!! You don't have to be a size S to be beautiful. You have done fantastic, I cannot believe the difference in the size of shirts.

Those pics are worth a thousand words! I love the shirt pic too, you look like a different person, and happier as well...they are powerful aren't they!?

Thank you ladies! SS - I will never be a size small but that is OK ...I'm fine where I AM...heck of a lot better than where I WAS!

Yes, thank you so much! I do look "depressed" in that purple shirt...ha ha! I wasn't really though, I happened to be looking down at the 2 year old who was coming up to the table I was sitting at and the photographer was trying to "catch" her in action (2 year olds move pretty fast when they want to) but she "caught" me sitting in a chair looking depressed instead. I wasn't happy about my weight but I wasn't depressed ...even though the photo looks like that. It's amazing when you *think* you look a certain way and then somehow the camera catches you and you finally see what everyone else sees instead of what you look like in your own mind...

I will never be a small, I am a large top. I'm just happy that the XLs are way too XL!

Agreed! The most I can hope for is a "sometimes" medium. Some brands. Most L! I have on. 2x hoodie in my house since it is chilly and it's totally unbelieving now of how LARGE it is!
