Underwear shopping...how hard can that be?
Jul 22, 2012
...does anyone else still find themselves shopping the plus size departments only to realize you're not 'that' size anymore? I sure hope it's not only me!My eyes don't see what others do and I wonder if anyone else has dealt or is still dealing with the same problem.
A picture is worth a thousand words and when there was a recently taken picture of my husband and myself I was told I looked like a little girl sitting next to him. I've also been told I'm not recognizable anymore. That's a good thing, right?
The sizes keep going down and down again and I do look at myself in the mirror everyday but I don't see the 'before and after' in my mind. (I do see that I am smaller, don't get me wrong but maybe just not as small as I truly appear.)
Sort of like when I look at an old picture I have of myself and CANNOT believe I was that big.
(I look like I was ready to burst at any given moment!) When you are that size do you ever really see just how big you are? I was in MAJOR denile. I knew I was heavy just not THAT heavy! :(
It's been one year and 3 months since surgery. The only issues that I continue to have are getting in enough protein. (thank God for protein shakes!)..and I still cannot stand the 'taste' of water. If someone had told me that prior to my surgery I would have laughed out loud! I was downing at least a gallon of water a day, if not more! I drank water and nothing else! So now I've become an iced tea junkie!
My portions have not gotten bigger but have remained the same and I am still finding that certain food items are over the top super sweet and I cannot tolerate the taste. (I'm not complaining...that is secretly a good thing! it's just something that has changed.)
I do admit I love meeting friends for lunch or dinner and totally enjoying their company instead of being so focused on the menu and what I'm about to devour! I always order an appetizer and end up taking even some of that home with me! My friends can't believe the little amount of food that I consume. It's not even a second thought to me at this point. I know if I ever ordered a
full menu item I'd be eating it for breakfast, lunch and even dinner the next day!
I am so thankful for this site. I feel so comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with so many who maybe think and feel the same way I do.
