Friday's clothing

I thought I would ask: What are you wearing today? I am sharing because I had a bit of a wow moment this am. I bought a pair of dark denim size 8 Levis with a straight leg - they still had the tags on them at goodwill - what a steal! Anyway, they sit at your waist and have the levi design on the pockets. I know that before I lost weight, I would have NEVER, EVER worn something that sat at my waist - too much above it AND the jeans had to be pocketless or have small pockets with no design because you know that makes your butt look smaller, don't you? Who was I kiddding? Ha! Ha! I hope some of you can relate.... I am amazed at how they look, pretty good, if I can say so myself and I already got two compliments today and it is not even 8aCST. I am wearing a lighter colored denim button down shirt with black shoes. I am also wearing my princess cut diamonique earrings and a pearl necklace. I don't know but I think my head has finally caught up with my body because I can look in the mirror and not see the "fat girl" staring back at me anymore. I hope this is the beginning of a great weekend for me...it sure feels like it! What are you wearing today? Has your head caught up with how great you look now? Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, I'm wearing my size 6 levis that sit just below the waist. I never would have worn these before WLS either.. course they didn't make them in 24!! So that in itself is an accomplishment. They do look good they would look better if I hadn't lost all my a** BUT..I'm not complaining. lol I still look in the mirror though and see a "fat" me.. my stomach is still sticking out there like I'm six months pregnant. I so want a tummy tuck..but my DH will never let me get it without insurance approval for fear something would go wrong in surgery and I'd have to have some emergency thing and then we would go bankrupt. I know I know..he thinks of all the extremes. Oh well... I'm working on getting over it and moving on and just trying to be happy with where I am..because it's much better than were I was 2 years ago! Hugs, Anna

Rhonda right now I am wearing my PJ's. I am being lazy so far but will be up and moving in a few. My head has it's days where it catches up with my body but then it might change the next day. I had on jeans yesterday and my hubby and daughters both told me my ass looked good in them. Made me want to wear them all the time. Hugs, Chris

Hey Rhonda: Congrats on your WOW moment...it is awesome to have them this far out... Lately I have not been dressing as nicely as I had in the summer months. But I still get compliments on my wardrobe so I guess I am doing okay! ;) Today I have on my size 10 black Gap pants and a size medium top from New York & Company. The shirt is the "mock" kind of shirt that is really one shirt but looks like I am wearing a sweater vest over a button-down white shirt. It is nice...and low cut which is always good! The thing that amazes me most about this journey is not my clothing size but my shoe size (and my ring size). My shoes were an 8.5 wide. Six months ago I was wearing a 7.5 regular and then they got too big!! Now I wear a 7 regular. That is bizarre to me. Also, my ring size went from a 8.5/9 to a 6!! But I still look like I have fat fingers! Go figure! Have a great day and congrats again on your wow! Hugs, JM

Congrats! On your wow moment! Size 8, I love the Goodwill! As for me I am just wearing blue slacks, a black tank with a sheer top over it. I am at work. It is raining in California finally first rain in 7 weeks. We need it with all the fires. Now we just have to avoid mudslides! Take Care & Congrats! Norma

I love friday, I am wearing jeans from Abercrombe they are the only ones that fit on my now non-existant butt and a dressy sweater that is very comfy.. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND TORI

Hey Rhonda! Well is just darn cold today in Chicagoland. Very windy and hasn't even hit 30 yet I'm wearing a burgandy v-neck fleece top and dark denim jeans. Top is an XL and jeans are a 14. Also wearing socks (which is something I hardly ever do) cause it's just too darn cold

Just call me ghetto girl!!!! I have on a black hoodie, sz s with a black long sleeve tshirt under it, sz s, american eagle jeans, sz 6 (ae runs big so it's really an 8, i have to lose 10 more lbs probably to get into my 6s again), black belt, and hat thingy I wear all day that says Linkin Park, cuz........ i like it and cuz it's below zero with the wind chill here in WI!!! ~Renee

oh yeah, and the lower the pocket is on your butt the smaller it looks, at least I think so... http://www.obesityhelp.com/photos/albumId,11399/uzone,photos/action,gallery/curPhoto,20152 3/ good pix of a couple of the tats i got since surgery too, heh.

I am wearing levis - size 16 and a red sweater that zips in the front. Pants are so weird. I just bought 4 pair of pants last week and another pair a few week prior. The levis I have on ate 16 and the ones I bought a few weeks back were 20's ~ freakin 20's. The 16's fit better than the 20's. I do not get the sizing. I wore black mules while I was out today. I usually wear the same jewelry every day. Bezel set diamond earrings, wedding band, 3 carat diamonique 3 stone ring, my mother and grandmothers engangment/wedding rings and a gold cross with a small bezel set diamond. I had my hair parted on the side and pulled the front part back in a small clip. I am feeling fat I HAVE NOT LOST MY PREGNANCY WEIGHT B/C I EAT ALL THE TIME. I see fat when I look in the mirror. I try to remember that I am still 108 pounds lighter than my heaviest weight.
