I am getting dressed for work

and nothing that I should be wearing to work looks right...totally makes me look fat or looks just a little off...just feel horrid looking. So I grab a blue longsleeve t-shirt and a pair of kinda tailored sweatpants thinking I can get away with it because I have to watch two kids in a dance class and make sure they aren't acting out as their state assigned aide doesn't do jack...so I put the sweats on and all of a sudden I feel all spiffy, pretty and not morbidly obese again. I feel so much better in them...sigh. Anyone else the same way?

 

You are such a girl!!!

 

I thought you said you lost alot of weight? How can you feel fat?

 

I always feel skinny in my work clothes...because they consists of leotards and tights, so I feel like a sausage...all the meat bound up inside nice and tight LOL.

 

i wish i could go back to work.. grrrrrrr..

 

Do you feel like a christmas tree whose rope was just cut when you take them off? Sometimes I feel like that when I wear certain clothing. Once it's off I swear I hear whhoooooossshhhh

 

lyns, i know it doesn't help at all, but it's all in your head.

 

Don't feel bad lyns, I almost always feel fat unfortunately. but I know what you mean about certain clothing making you feel certain ways. Some clothes make you fee fantastic, others, well...I was out trying on clothes today and put on a size 8 jeans, looked in the mirror, and thought "damn, look how freaking short and chunky I am". *sighs* It's a never ending cycle.

 

KC, are you calling Lynsey a fathead?!!!

 

uhum my appetite has been back for a few weeks now...I have an affnity for frozen yogurt, massive amounts of juice and cookies...I gained 20 of the 40 pounds back ): but feel fantastic!!!!! I'm cutting my calories back though I want to lose about 10 pounds by June

 

I know...it's just getting close to my 'special time' hah

 

erghhh I was an 8 a month ago it was sweet...almost worth being sick..I am 5'9 so it takes a lot of work or being really sick for me to be an 8 now I'm a 10 except in the boobs of course hah and I feel my tens getting smaller and smaller and pretty soon they're not gonna fit if I don't lay off kid like food I'm just a pb and j, cookie eating kinda girl

 

Buy a skinny mirror

 

where can I get one of those at? seriously...thats a good and simple solution and will save me a lot of time int he mornign as im sure no one besides me gives what im wearing a second thought

 

This is what I need to tell myself when I get discouraged looking at my clothing and deciding what to wear. I'm not out in the corporate world working. My only judges for what I wear are ages 5, 7, and 37. lol

Regardless I still like to feel good and think I look good.

I'm ready for a shopping trip.

 

You and me both! I love my peanut butter and jelly, and I love my cookies. I don't think I'll ever be super skinny unless I cut those kinds of things out, and you know what? You only live once, and those are some of my favorite things. I don't want to feel deprived just to squeeze into a smaller size!

 

Me too! I need some new clothes. I'm tired of wearing what I have, but I'm so gosh-darn picky when it comes ot buying clothes. I'll spend hours looking and come home with nothing. It's frustrating!

 

me too! I really want a new pair of pants, a couple new shirts but I have no spare money

I'm kinda picky too... mostly it's that things don't really fit my frame very well, they don't design clothes for short curvy people very well So I can go shopping for hours but find nothing that I like enough to pay for, it actually makes me really angry/upset when that happens (that is, when I'm actually trying to find something to buy, not just wasting time)

 

Oh my goodness, that's me to a "T". I'm short and curvy too, and so many of the clothes just don't look right on me, or fit weird. I hate it!

 

me too! Professional stuff is even harder to fit. I mean, it's a given that all my pants are going to need hemming. But I can't find a nicely fitted suit jacket to save my life! Seems like everything aside from really basic T's needs altering and adjusting to fit me properly. Drives me batty sometimes!
