Ok, I have 2 pairs of jeans that fit me right now. One fits fine the other pair is too big. I have 2 pairs of casual pants I wear for clinical, they are a bit too big for me right now and my damn ass is saggy in them but I really really don't want to buy another pair now when it won't fit me soon and I have other pants I can use in clinical but they're too small right now. Damn Pants!
On another note about clothing.. Why the hell can't all the brands actually be the same damn size! This morning I was getting dressed for clinical and wanted to wear my new Mossimo shit...its at size XXL and the damn thing didn't fit right, a little tight on the tummy but the arms were way too tight. So I'm standing there looking at all my clothes that don't fit and see another shirt that would go cute with my pants and pull it off the hanger. Its Merona, also a brand at target and its a size L. I'm thinking, right like this is gonna fit me; but I put it on anyway and WTF it fits....can someone please explain to me why one brands XXL is too small and anothers L is just fine. I really think that all clothing companies need to get together and make their sizes the same....thats just crazy.
One Woman...Too Many Pounds
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I grew up fat and in college I became Morbidly Obese! I was able to loose over 70lbs on my own with diet and exercise in my early twenties. Unfortunately; I encountered a major setback for me...a cheating boyfriend; which led me to stop going to the gym and I, again, used food for comfort. At my heaviest I was over 320lbs. The day I had gastric bypass surgery (5-5-05) I weight 292.2 lbs. After surgery I lost 108# at my lowest weight; which also happened to be when I met my husband. I would bounce back and forth about 20lbs and the day I was engaged (1.18.09) I weighed 210 lbs. I joined the gym and knew I needed and wanted to loose weight before my wedding. The day of my wedding (8.14.09) I weighed 192lbs, when I came home from my honey moon 1 week later I weight 184lbs! I felt sexy and thin and happy. Oct 26th 2009 I had gained about 10-15 lbs back and had a positive pregnancy test. Our beautiful blessing; Emma Paige Morris was born 6.19.10. I gained 65+ lbs during my pregnancy, weighing in at 265lbs the day I delievered. 3.5 months later I got back on my weight loss goals and lost 20lbs immediately. My baby girl is now 8 months old and I am STUCK at 222.2 lbs! I am 18lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight (well first trimester weight really) and 40lbs away from my post-honeymoon weight. I am struggling with this journey and thought maybe, maybe I can find kindred souls to share this journey with and maybe even help others in the process. I really, Really wanted to be back to my post-honeymoon weight on my 2yr anniversary (8.14.11). That date is only 5.5 months away; approximately 8lbs a month. Seems resonable but I am struggling. Please Join me on my journey. Share your own; commiserate with me and lets support each other as we become healthy and active. I know I will never be a skinny-minnie, I will probably never wear a size smaller than 12-14; but I want and need to be healthy and active for my little girl. I do NOT want to be an embarraseement to her; like my parents were/are to me because of their size, health, and inactivity.
