WARNING!!

Okay, my beloved July brothers and sisters! If you are easily offended...stop right here! I was hesitant to post this until I saw a chubby girl with low-rise plumbers crack yesterday! I almost lost my lunch and decided then and there that the WORLD MUST BE WARNED!! And I was just the big-mouth to do it!! I know several people who have had wls surgery and I have seen many post-op patients in my Dr's waiting room and I myself know how exciting it is to go down in size instead of the reverse, but I have one thing to say: (Please don't take offense to this! This is not directed at ANY of you, it's just a general observation. I say this tongue-in-cheek!) Okay here goes: Just because you can squeeze your a$$ into a revealing outfit or the latest trend (designed for size 3), doesn't mean that you should wear it!! For heaven's sake: If you have saggy arms...wear sleeves not spaghetti straps, if you have fleshy, cottage-cheese thighs...wear pants not mini-skirts, if you have strecth marks on your tummy...please, please don't wear low-rise jeans with a crop top!! It truly becomes the only thing that will get noticed. It's like carrying around a flashing neon sign that says..."Look Here!" I see so many beautiful women who are trying to be an 18 year old sex kitten and just can't pull it off anymore! Of course this doesn't just include wls patients, but it seems to be very common among this group because of their new found excitement for their bodies. Can I blame them...No! For so long, I just wore what ever made me look the least fat (who was I kidding)!! Ha! I'm not saying that we should walk around in tents, or be ashamed of our bodies, just remember as we are all shopping for new clothes, play up your positives. Everyone has something striking about them to compliment and we all have a few things that could use some camouflage (sp?). At least I do!! I have checked out most of your profiles and I'm proud to say that there aren't any offenders in our group!! (that I know of) You all look fabulous! Bathing suits and work-out gear are different. These things are unavoidable. My promise to you is this: If I'm ever a fashion offender, it will be for totally different reasons! Ha! Like wearing last years trends or tucking my boots into my pants! Good heaven's can you believe that's back in style?!?! Until my plastic surgery scars have healed, you will never see me in anything inappropriate for my age or saggy condition. Take care! You guys are awesome! C Leigh

amen to that, sista.

Well put!! I couldn't agree more! Thank you for opening your mouth!!!!! ~grace

I totally agree with you ... no matter what size you are, always look classy, dress your age, and show your best assests ... not your worst!!

THANK YOU for saying that! I am always so disgusted at the way people are dressing!!! It's nervewracking. I'm always amazed at the teens and younger adults who have belly rolls and stuff, but STILL wear low rise jeans with short tops. It looks AWFUL!!! I can't stand it! I want to go up to them and yank those jeans up over their head! I say all of this, but I wore a miniskirt Sunday! BUT - I had on dark tights and made sure that ALL of my cottage cheese was covered! LMAO ps... it was a size 8!! HUGS Kimberly

Hi C Leigh, I couldn't of said it better You are so right. I shop so conservatey and try to hide those wonderful spots that the whole world should NOT see. I think they need 101 How to wear clothes. I would love to wear a pair of low risers and show off my belly but that's excatly what I'd be doing Cheri

I say to each his own. If these chicks feel like showing themselves then why not. doesn't offend me any. They are proud of themselves as classless as we may think it is, I say go for it. If your comfortable in your own skin show it baby!!!!

It is funny that you mention this. Over the weekend I found some cute boot cut pants at Costco. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have always been too big to shop at Costco for clothes. I was SO excited. I bought them (Levi's Bootleg, totally hip and cute, less than $20! Yippee!) I rushed home and tried them on. They were a little tight and despite numerous tries to pull them higher I finally re-checked the label: SUPER LOWCUT Bootleg Jeans. Doh! Let's just say that I returned them as a favor to all of mankind. It was not a pretty sight. Very diappointing, but if there is an upside it is that I can now fit into their jean, assuiming I find a more appropriate pair! Keep up the great work ladies!
