The MakeMeThinner Support Forum

Okay, I'm just venting here! I have to get dressed to go to this family function, and NOTHING fits me! Because I've gained so much weight, none of my cute clothes will even pull up. (I'm sitting here typing in a skirt with the top button not able to close,and the skirt is the uglies thing I own, but I have no other choices!) I hate this!!!

Alright, I guess this is a pity party for myself . I just can't believe I let myself get this way! For each of us I know it's at a different point and a different weight, but do you ever just get soooooo sick of trying to dress?

I can't wait till this flabage is gone! I'll feel better once even 20 more pounds or so goes so I can have a little breathing room, but I can't wait for EVERY LAST EXTRA POUND to go!!!!!

Sorry if I sound negative, I'm just so upset with myself right now! I know I'm back on the right track, but OMG, sometimes it seems so BIG a project and so long a road! I know we'll all do it together, but I just needed to vent!

sometimes it seems so BIG a project and so long a road!

Christy,
It may "seem" like a long road now, but in a few months you'll look back and be there and wonder where the time went.

There's so much flabbage gone since we started this forum, and it seems like just yesterday.

Take each day at a time and you'll be there before you know it...

I do hate it when I put on clothes that don't fit... and I cannot wait for every last pound to be gone!!!

But I think it's important to be able to present myself well at any weight... Maybe you could go out & get a dress or pants suit that fits now? Don't spend a lot of money---It won't fit in a couple weeks! But it'll be good for today...

Christy, its the hardest thing when you go to put something on and it doesn't fit! :x But, trust me, when you go to put something on that didn't used to fit and you have room....... ...its the best feeling ever. I've only lost 22 and I am already finding that. Hang in there....your day will come very soon!

[AlexisClaire]

Hon, I think we ALL know exactly how you feel. That's why we're all here isn't it? Just take comfort in knowing that there are a LOT of much harder ways to go about losing weight. You'll get there, and what's more, it'll be so fast your friends and family will be in total awe.

Personally there's no quicker way to get me into a "fat funk" than to try on clothes. It's always, "well it ALMOST fits...just another month or so." Problem is, I want to wear it NOW! Especially if you've got a big pile of skinny clothes that used to fit and you think "man I miss wearing those jeans".

One Shake at a Time.

Christy-

I bet you look beautiful just the way you are. It won't be long & that skirt will be too big!!

I can relate though: I wore jeans to church for a very long time because my dress clothes would not fit- I couldn't even pull them up past my knee!
Guess what, now they are all too big!

It won't be long and you'll be telling us you need new dress clothes.

Christy-- I too hate it when that happens.. makes me want to scream but like everyone else said IT WON"T BE LONG!!!!!!! and everything will be hanging off of your new trim body.. Oh what a happy day that will be.. My daughter bought me a pair of capris and a new shirt for my b.day and for me to go to Branson(6/16/05) she bought it way to small but even when I tried it on this weekand it fit(finally) I still have the fat roll over the top.. sooo I'm not going to get upset(right) but just try it on next month and hopefully it will be just right Hang in there girl... YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!! Martha

[monkeymom]

Hang in there Christy....before you know it you will be cleaning that closet out of all the clothes that are far to large for you, and it feels so awesome!
Once it startes, it goes pretty quickly. I bought a pair of jeans size 18 at Lerner several weeks ago, then a couple of weeks after I got them something fell apart on them and I went back to exchange them and they didn't have another 18, so I tried on the 16 that they did have...........and it FIT!!! I was dancing in the fitting room, let me tell you. (By the way, this is the first pair of jeans I've bought outside Lane Bryant in at least 6 years.........yipeee)

Hang in there.......you'll be doing the happy dance very soon

I know you're all right, and thanks for the support... I needed it!!
It was just one of those moments when we HAVE to come face to face to the weight thing! I've been "hiding out" in my standard 2 or 3 outfits that just cover up, don't really do much for me at all! And I hate to buy stuff just cause I KNOW it won't fit for long!! (For my job I'm off summers, I work for schools and Friday is my last day... so I don't need to worry about "work clothes" till late August, and then I'll get a few cheap things till I get to my final size...)

It's just so uncomfortable squeeeeeezing into something, the having it pinch, pull or generally make you feel self-conscious... I know the change will come, and I'm usually patient, but it's hard knowing that at New Years Eve I was wearing a size 10 (still a little snug... but definitely wearing it!) and now I couldn't get 1 leg into it! I have all these cute clothes, many of which are basically new, from my lower weight times, and I can't wait to get back to them! I know your all right, the time will go quickly, especially compared to other "diets"... Thanks for all the support!

I call that motivation. I really think we should all keep one shirt, pants or something that fit us when we were at our maximum weight. That way when we are finally to our goal and are tempted to go back to old eating habits we could try the item on and decide if thats the way we want to look again. Bet we wouldn't have that second helping or decide a bag of potato chips is our best friend!!

And soon Christy - nothing wil fit again! All my "skinny" clothes are too big and it seems to be just as frusterating!!! But in a good way! I am not a big clothes person and don't particulalry like to buy clothes, so I know it's hard! You'll get there! Thanks for coming here to vent instead of grabbing some food to ease the pain. That is a huge step in the right direction!

Ya know, I never thought about that! That was a good choice huh? To come here instead of grab food I mean! The funny thing is I didn't even think about food, I was just so frustrated about the clothes/body/etc... hmmm..... progress, me thinks!

I think it's a good idea about keeping one outfit from our biggest times, I'll keep that darn dress! And looking forward to the day it's so big it's a "baggy tent dress"... won't that be the day!

I had another victory of sorts... the family function I needed to dress for was actually the calling hours for an extended family member of my SO. Today is the funeral. And even in this stressful situation (where it would be all too easy to give myself the green light to eat) I have stayed true to MF! No sandwiches or cake for me when we all gathered back at the house. I had my peanut butter bar...
