clothes

I just wanted to say HI.. I'm around checking things out still.. just dont have anything to say. Wtih all going on in my life, weight loss for me right now isnt working.  :(     still havent heard anything more either way about anything. I finally bought a scale for home, I'm bouncing around between my highest weight and the lowest i go is 5 lbs.. but then i go up again.. i just bought myself a used recumbent bike, i hope to get into some kind of a daily routine riding it.. slowly i am sure.
there are so many things i can do right now to help myself along, but i'm at the state of not caring too much right now, bad attitued that I have.

I was wondering wtih everyone that is losing. Does anyone have anything left for clothes in size 4x and 5x?? I need a few more things for going out in something a little more dressy then every day wear stuff.. just thought i would ask.

Congrats to those of you who are still losing and who have lost, that's awesome.. I wish i had your will power.

 I have been where you are and I know how hard it is to make changes.  But I would encourage you to continue to try to adjust your eating and exercise any way you can even if it's baby steps in the beginning.  Any and every change you can make now will benefit you now and down the road.  I hope you hear back from Regina soon but in the mean time you owe it to yourself to take care of yourself!   I wish I could help with the clothes but I brought all mine to the last meet and greet.  Take each day one at a time and do your best and remember every step big or small is still a step in the right direction.  Good luck.  

I haven't taken all the clothes to the person who is selling them. I believe there is a bin with 3-5 X clothes in them that I have, I think most are pretty casual. I can take a look through them in the next day or two and let you know what is around.....  I gave most of my 3X-4X stuff at the meet and greet and my friend who wore that size....

Another place to look is plus size auction wars on facebook. It seems that lots of people post higher sized clothes and they seem to more bidders on the smaller stuff... so you can often get some great stuff cheap.

I will most likely have some clothes in those sizes at the meet and greet on Sept. 15th.  I hope you get some news soon from Regina, I wonder how long their wait list is.  The bike is a great idea, good luck. Maybe with a scale in the house now you can stay focused on loosing weight.  I used to leave myself notes in the fridge and food cupboards to remind myself to eat healthy.  sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.  I hope things turn around for you soon.  Barb.

Hi there

Don't give up, its been 18 months since I started my journey with WLS in Edmonton and surgery is around the corner.  I will have some clothes after  I get back from Edmonton, early September.

Thanks

Thank you Ladies I do really appreciate your encourgement.

Hi Trish!

Please don't fall into the trap of beating yourself up. We have all had issues with weight - that does not make us bad people! In fact, I have found that the people on this site are quite wonderful regardless of where they are on their journey.

Please feel free to come here for support whenever you need it. We have all been there!

I find that when I used to beat myself up for my weight (still do it) I just make sure that I don't go up any more pounds. I try to give myself credit for maintaining a steady weight and if you are saying at the same weight good for you! That is great.
