I heard that Marilyn Monroe was a size 16, did some research on it and was disappointed to find out that with the sizing we have in today's culture, she was actually a size 10. I'm currently a size 20/22/24 depending on the style. I don't remember ever wearing a size 16.
And since I found this place, 16 isn't even the goal anymore.
Yeah, I'm going for that size 10.
It'd be so nice to be able to look through the store without automatically ignoring the clothes that aren't marked PLUS.
And the ability to wear a teddy for my guy without being completely self conscious would be great too.
I may have just started my journey, but I know I can go as far as I want to, with you guys. ♥
I want to wear a bikini again, but I gained over 30 pounds in less than a year so I have a LOT of strech marks on my tummy and hips. So if time and TONNES of vitamine E don't do the job, then I'll settle for a sexy monokini. But most of all I want to fit into whatever I want to wear. I never again want to be disapointed when I see that the cute dress I like only goes up to a 10, because I'll be a size 10 and it will look great on me.
I'm only 22, so I hope to be able to wear shorts in the summer (nothing very short, just like bermuda-style) and short-sleeve shirts, though I don't know if that'll be possible because I expect to have flabby loose skin on my arms. I really would be happy wearing what I wear now (cardigans and blouses, jeans, cuffed pants) just in a size 12 or so.
I'm not into tight-fitting clothes, even when I was a "normal" size (size 11 junior, 135 pounds during high school). I never even wore shorts or swimsuits in public then.
I'd love to be able to wear jeans and not have that squishy stomach fat bulging under the waistband, but I recognize that I'll probably never get rid of that because of loose skin that I'm sure will be left after I lose more weight. Kind of depressing now that I think about it
Skinny Jeans..and not being embarrassed to say that they are skinny jeans. ooOOoo and pencil skirts oh how i miss them!! I've stuck an outfit to my wall that I want to wear.
This is my favorite past-time! And sorry to necro a thread for it, but I couldnt resist!
I see lots of "Thai" style clothing. Stuff like the harem/genie pants on Etsy, babydoll dresses, etc. I want the fat to just slough off so I can wear those freaking things! ARGH
I think this is a great thread to resurrect, I enjoyed reading the responses and thinking about it.
Realistically I think I'll probably wear mostly the same things I do now, but smaller, because I really do prioritize and comfort and cost over fashion. But I daydream about wearing skirts and heels once in a while without it killing me for days after between the sore feet, twisted ankles, and chaffed thighs. That will be a real reward! And although I started losing weight and changing my life before my best friend started planning his wedding, I do look forward to being a smaller size and finding a dress more easily when I'm his maid of honour this spring!
I am too old to think I could ever attain a sexy body, I will have a lot of loose droopy skin I am sure. But I do have one dream.
When my husband is finished with his career here in America, we are leaving for Denmark in 3 years. We are taking the Queen Mary as our final splurge before frugal retirement.
I want so badly to just one more time, feel pretty, all dressed up in an evening gown, in low heels, wearing my pearls. Not in black either, I want something shimmery and in a deep jewel tone, something very elegant, something so Holly Golightly. That dream has helped me stick strong to my diet, even though it is some years away yet.
Oh, boy!! This thread is great! I see myself in a pale blue, 50's-style sundress with a fitted bodice and sweetheart neckline with a full, knee-length skirt and cute wedge heels with lace-up-ankle ribbons. Then I see myself on the beach in a high-waisted retro bikini. I also like to picture myself in anything that Joan from Mad Men wears! Can you tell I like retro styles? :P Only problem is, NONE of them look good on fat girls!!
