I know we've been banded and i know we're gonna be healthy and beautiful... but i think the message in this ad is awesome about self acceptance regardless/.... we've beaten ourselves up for way too long, and how about loving yourself thin... i mean accept you have your faults, take time to work on them, smooth out the crinkles and it will come in time.. but we are all beautiful in our own way and fat, skinny, tall, short, black , white, purple, it's important to recognise your diamonds (the things that make you shine) ...

anyways thats my touchy feely ness for today..

love

jess

Great ad and so true. You know what annoys me, why does target rarely advertise the bigger size clothes you get pages and whole catalogues dedicated to skinny people but usually just a note at the bottom to say yes fat clothes on sale to. Is it the dirty little secret that alot of women are plus size? We only have target in geraldton so I dont know about the rest.

Bring on the fashionable clothes!!! you are on your way I have to wait til March but I have waited this long so its really not far at all. I hate it when I do get to Perth usually for work and I have a friend with me and they are going into skinny boutiques going "this looks big why dont you try it on!!" Yeah perhaps on my toe lady!!!

but I smile politely and say "oh I dont really need anything today".

Hey, how come the fat girl clothes are always at the back of Target and not at the front like the "Hot Options" stuff. Why do they get such a kitsch name for their skinny bitch clothes and we get "Options Plus". Since when did we have options?? Oh, and Big Advantage? What advantages do we have? Sorry if I offended anyone, it just gets my goat!

Man, I could go on ALL day! BTW I'm so glad they changed BIG city chic to just City Chic.

AND why when you go to Katies do they give you a bag with 16/26 in huge words across the bag. Do the skinny people have their size emblazoned all over the bag no!!. You might as well put a sign on your head "fat person shopping" (I think they changed the name but why cant it just be Katies like everyone else)

I hear ya greeneyez I could go on all day too.

Its my birthday today and I just got through a dinner that could have been laden with calories only eating turkey and salad. Believe me I picked up the pizza and then thought is worth feeling bad later? No, so I put it down. I was forced to have some of my birthday cake but for someone that could eat a whole pizza without too much difficulty I think I did well.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
