It’s a day just to run errands in town. This top was a clearance find in the junior section. I found in the women’s section some smalls are just to big on me. Have a great day everyone.

Question. I never shop or even look in junior sizes, at least since college. What in the world is the difference between a size 5,7,9 (odd numbers) vs. 6,8,10?

I’m old enough to remember shopping at Sears Lemon Frog Shop (US) and everyone wanted to wear a size 7. This was before vanity sizing, so I don’t know what that would be now.

I think Junior sized clothes are more for shape than size. Juniors are for body shapes that are not as curvy (i.e., hip to waist ratio is smaller)

EDIT to add: chest to waist ratio is smaller as well.

I definitely need to be shopping juniors then! Thanks!

Yep that's why I am a 17/19 on my way to a 15. I was a DD before surgery time, now I am barely a B. One of the first posters here said she was channeling Elle Woods, well my Inner Tomboy is resurfacing after 50+ years. Told my orthopaedic surgeon in Early Days I was an Obese sporty tomboy, he said "That's impossible!"--- Well Well Well Just look at ME Now! I am even returning to some exercises, okay* Even if I am 73* it makes me feel BETTER and PROUDER that I once again can do it without huffing-puffing- and doing myself an Injury! I'm not an Senior Olympic contender but at least, I'm back in the game!🌛🚴And it's NOT TOO LATE FOR ME!

Mornings are starting to get cold...the fall clothes are coming out of my closet...and so are the boots!!!

Can I say that since I was able to zip up a pair of boots over my jeans a few weeks ago, I've since bought 3 more pairs, lol

      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!!
