Never Worn Jeans



Recommended Posts

I'm 47 and never worn jeans... Well not as an adult anyway. I've lost some weight since surgery 6 months ago but I still need to lose a fair bit more.

I go into clothes shops and automatically look at dresses as I feel most comfortable in leggings

Dresses and boots don't even take a second glance at the jeans.

I'm now in a uk size 16 which I think is a US size 12? But still don't feel ready to try jeans they will be too tight, my legs and thighs will be enormous and I won't be able to breathe in them. I just can't imagine even trying them on as it will be a body failure I reckon.

I was shopping with myr granddaughter and she was trying on jeans. I said let me try them. I got them on and they felt good, the only problem was the rise and they gapped in the waist when I sat down. Did not have time to venture into another pair. But I will go get a pair. Never had regular jeans, only pants made out of jean material with rubber around the waist. I am 67 yrs old and I will get a pair and wear with pride. Go for it.

Im with you music, by my name, it hints to something about jeanz:) My goal is just that, to wear a pair of jeans, its been 14 years since ive been able to wear any, I mean any! I am so excited for my surgery date of Dec 30, Lord willing, and once I even get the sense that i can try on a pair, I AM. I will take a pic, and model them, and love them, lol... Its truly a dream of mine, other than to be healthy and able to run again. Good luck to you, but at a size 12, I think you should at least try a pair, I dont even know how to buy them, size wise, b/c Im so use to xxl this or that in the stretchy stuff, so idk. And even if they dont fit, look how far uve come, and how close you are to finally wearing a pair. So y not, you dont have to buy them, and just think, you know ur still losing so you dont have to worry so much over the yo yo-ing that we dieters do, so perhaps go to the salvation army and try on a pair just to play around with and u might just be surprised, you owe it to yourself:) Good luck and God Bless your journey continuously:) Dee Dee

I was always on the lookout for jeans that fit my shape. Wide leg seems to do it for me, though not all work all the time. I'm bottom heavy, even after losing a good chuck of my weight. New York & Co. make a nice wide leg jeans. I think it's all about the fit you feel comfortable in. So go and try a bunch on and enjoy yourself!!

Jeans nowadays have spandex in them for stretch and comfort so I've no doubt there are some out there for you. It takes effort to find them but they exist!

I have a teeny waist (relatively) to go with a round ass. I have gap issues so I need curvy cut jeans. I've discovered Levi's 520s skinny (whuck?!?) are perfect for me.

Old Navy has curvy cut, too. They are awesome, but are usually boot cut. I am too short for boot cut. Blech.

I love the new boyfriend jeans, too. They are a little lower and looser on the thigh, cuz I'm "sturdy" through the legs. Read that: fat.

      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!!
