XP: Got called too skinny today!

I got called too skinny today! (by the ex, but still…) I texted him to tell him I had bought a pair of sz 4 jeans and sz 4 shorts yesterday and I couldn’t wait to wear them and he texted me back saying I was getting too skinny and needed to gain some weight back! Lol I was like “OH hell NO that will not be happening". Keep in mind, they’re a fluke because a) they’re Old Navy and ON runs large, and b) I’m normally in a 6 (and I have a sz 8 pair work pants). I’m under no impression that I’m ACTUALLY a 4, but it was nice to see that size on the label! The dress I’m wearing to work today is a Small, but again, it’s ON- I’m normally a Medium/Small in some things.

 

He kept asking me when I was stopping, so to mess with him I said, “I’ll stop when I get to a 1 and an Extra Small. How’s that sound?" haha I actually will stop probably in about 25 lb but 15 lb is my first goal. I have no idea what size that will be, maybe a 3/4? No clue. My gut is my problem, so I have no way of knowing.

 

Just thought it was funny that *I* got called too skinny. ME?! No way! BTW I look a lot smaller than what I actually weigh. I’m 5’4.5 and weigh 145. First goal is 130, second goal is 120.

Congrats!  The compliments can be weird sometimes considering skinny was never in my vocab ever before WLS. 

Good luck with your goals!

I agree prior to having wls i never thought i would ever hear the word skinny, or even too skinny for that matter. But I get that too. But then again, before that I was too big. Its like I cant win. O well. As long as your happy and healthy is what truly matters!

i feel totally weird when people call me skinny, in fact i hear it every single day at work, and im actually a little tired of it, when i started losing people told me that i look good and called me skinny minnie ( still do) and i of course took it as a compliment, now im like omg!! people, im only 6 months out, and i kno my weight loss is/ was rapid, but ,i now have people telling me im getting too skinny and i need to gain weight, and i even have people ask me if im sick?????? are u kidding me?? i laugh at them because they are ignorant, there is not one person at my job who doesnt know i had surgery, and i think some people out of jealousy say " is ur health ok"?

lol..sorry about this rant here, but i feel ya!..

take it as a comliment, and BTW u are smaller than me, im a tall girl im 5'9 and i weigh 189 pounds. im currently in 11/13 jeans and medium/ large tops...( i have 19 pounds to go, and would be happy if i didnt lose another pound too).i can only imagine what people are going to think when im in a small top and even smaller jeans ( i cant even imagine that myself..lol)

all i can say is take it as a compliment, and u sure have accomplished alot..keep up the hard work, and u one day will be in a pair of size 1 jeans..=)
