unable to bypass the fat lady dept.
ok, i am now in 18’s and 16 bathingsuits but when i go into the department
stores i first cruise the plus size department. i burnt out at the wall of
available bras in my new size in every color and pattern imaginable and had to
leave because it was too much information for a lane bryant girl. (by the way i
cancelled my catalogues).
any imput about how long it will take before i can walk into a store and just
underestand i can fit into the regular clothes in the regular section? lol,
intellectually i know all this stuff but i’m still cruising the biggest clothes
i can find.
love, ida and george the wonder beagle

OH MY GOD! i was just about to send a question to the list about a similar
but there is something about the
when i was over 450 lbs, i had no qualms about going out without panties, it
so anyone experience this? (not the thong thang) anybody have thoughts as
problem!
i tend to buy clothes that are too big, cuz i like them loose on me. if i
buy clothes that fit, i feel somewhat “vulnerable”. i can sense that when i
have on clothes that fit, the weight loss is much more noticable and i get
tons of comments and compliments from friends and co-workers. i don’t mind
that at all, i love hearing them
clothes fitting so closely to my body that is weird! i feel “different” and
move “differently” and i am not sure how to explain it. i have a couple of
dresses that fit me perfectly and i look damn good in them if i do say so
myself! however, i am trying to work up the nerve to wear them!
i too am buying underwear like crazy. matching lingerie, what a concept
was no big deal to me. now almost 200 lbs less, and i almost have a panic
attack if i don’t have on bloomers! again, i feel “naked” without panties
on. once, i hadn’t did my laundry, no clean panties, oh no! i was forced
to wear a pair of thongs (which i had vowed never to wear, what’s up with
having a string between your butt?!?) that had come with a nightie that i
bought. u know i am a new convert, they were actually quite comfortable
to what’s going on? appreciate any and all comments…

And even as I struggle with my vulnerability, I am *loving* wearing clothes
I could wear 10 Levis if it weren’t for my pannus. For now, I thoroughly
that fit. I keep thinking they are too tight, but I can fit things in my
pockets… my hands, change, etc. so know they aren’t too tight at all.
Plus I grill those around me to make sure I am not deluding myself that I
can wear something that really looks stupid on me.
Mexican women all wear “fajas” (girdles) immediately postpartum… well,
usually always, actually… but, I explain to them that American women don’t
do that, but that I use the “faja de Levi” and I make them laugh.
enjoy seeing how small I look in those 12s. Small small small. Wowie
Zowie. Is that me?
