I like the preppy style for men. It's classy and timeless.

I want to fit into all of my old concert tee shirts! I would never wear them in public, but just to be able to wear them as lounge around shirts would be fun. I feel like my personal style will stay the same. My favorite place to shop is Old Navy and they carry the same stuff for regular and plus sizes. The regular sizes are just cheaper... wayyyy cheaper. I'm looking forward to shopping at the Gap. I love the timeless look of jeans and a tee. And being able to shop at places like Loft, J Crew, and the occasional forever 21 spree lol. 90% of the time though, I wear Chef's whites. They make these cute feminine cut pants and chef jackets and I'm looking forward to wearing those instead of the shapeless unisex ones.

Aside from personal style, the person I want to be is free and fun loving. When I hit my goal I want to treat myself by going to a music festival like Coachella. I know I could goto one at any size, but I would enjoy it more without all the extra weight holding me back. When you are surrounded my music, you gotta do a lot of dancing :)

I'll probably still wear all black, not because it's slimming, but because it looks bad ass. ????

The style I know I'm going to go for will be like this:

I'm a city girl and want that effortless chic look, sleek hair and a classic red lip. Ok the hair and classic red lip I have it's just the neck down that needs some tweaking! Hahahah

The only downside? The cost of shopping :P

Also, I used to have trouble finding my size on a rack. I'm finding that's still the case. What's the deal with the lack of smalls on a rack??

this ^^^^

I have just as much of a problem finding clothes in a small (or XS) as I did in a 3X. Doesn't seem fair! :wacko:

I'm discovering that I'm apparently a total basic white girl. Since getting near goal, I love to wear long sweaters with scarves, skinny jeans, and boots. Just stick a Starbucks cup in my hand and call me Becky! :rolleyes:

I'm 50 years old and wear pretty, feminine age appropriate clothes. I tend to like to be more conservative and wear longer sleeves and longer skirts. I want to get some cute cowgirl boots to wear with jean skirts. I like other boots too and want to wear really feminine dresses/skirts but that aren't too tight. I've been looking on Pinterest to find cute styles and outfits.

I want to wear a sheath dress, pencil skirt and a button down shirt (not together of course). And never have to shop at a plus sized store again. I am close but still need to wear a 14W in pants.

      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!!
