Congratulations! You look great!

I, for one, do not care if I never wear high heels for the rest of my life. Life is too short!

@@jenn1 Being that I live close to Vegas I'm sure I can find a Hooker...don't know how much I will have to spend to borrow her heels though.

high heels can be torture devices. i have worn combat boots, no make up, hair pulled back or cut off. At work for years. It paid off to look like a guy. I'm having the time of my life. High heels, make up and dresses. They are simple pleasures in life for me. I'm making up for lost time :)

I'm curious...Would it be a fetish situation? An extra charge to wear her shoes? Hummm..I've said too much :blink: .I'm walking away blushing in my high heels. :blush:

@Elode -- That photo? That is one hot shot. Tell me something. Did you pierce that ugly pumpkin with a heel as practice/prelude to something else?

Beware, here comes a serious NSV report which, alas, I have since undone. Way back when I was making a killing with my band, I noticed that, when I crossed my legs, the knee-down portion of the top leg hung parallel to the knee-down part of the lower leg instead of sticking out at a noticeable angle. And the top leg made it farther up the lower leg so that more of the lower knee was visible. That's the best I can describe it at this hour. Anyway, I want that again.

@@jenn1 No addiction yet. I use to hate buying shoes! It was like buying a car...yuck! I don't have a lot. Between school and scrubs there wasn't a lot of "cute" shoe time but it's growing on me. I really like boots! I'm working on the heels.

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch Lol! No! That pumpkin came from our garden that my wonderful husband planted too early. It's the only one that made it (it was pretty at one time). I think we are having separation issues with a side of being too lazy to drag it off the porch right now. Worry not, we have a beautiful one carved by a 6 year old that you just can't see in the picture that makes up for it. ;)

Love the shoes! I have always worn heels and have what we affectionately call "the wall" with shelves of shoes. The trick to starting out is to have a bit of platform in the front versus a thin surface like yours. Those hurt more and the platform, even the smallest of platforms in the front, helps a ton for stability and comfort. Just a little suggestion for newbies :)

@@VDLT Thank you! I'll take all the help I can get. My mom was a nurse and in healthcare also so she never wore heels. I think they are pretty and admire people who can pull it off. My finance coordinator at work always wears them even out on the floor. I don't know how she does it. Just give me my comfy ugly nursing shoes and I'm good!

I actually bought those particular shoes for grand baby's baby shower. I was barefoot after 20 mins :) My grandson is 4 months so it's been awhile, I thought I'd try it again. Still painful!

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch You'll be relieved to know the ugly pumpkin has deflated, therefore it will be kicked over the edge to the pumpkin graveyard.

Not at all relieved. Somehow, this year, a Trader Joe's copywriter charmed me. I never read their circulars, but somehow I noticed this month's chockablock with pumpkin food products. One jumped out: the copywriter described one as having been "pumpkified." For me it was love at first sight.

Does it look like a deflated basketball? RIPP.

When I lived in Atlanta I passed a shoe store every day that specialized in large-sized high heels.

There is a booming transvestite and cross-dressing community who love their heels.

Our burn pile had a whole bunch of pumpkins growing this year because that was where we dumped the ones that look like yours last year.

      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!!
