"Lane Bryant - now there's a store I'd like to divorce..." AMEN sistah! I know the feeling! BUT....alas, even though I am fat, it's also genetics. (see my mom). I figure in my next life I'll be petite and will have to complain how everything is too big. WOULDN'T IT BE AWESOME!!!???
I do take clothes off the racks that look cute and i once weared that size before but just to go to the fitting room and needed help to take off! I am so proud of you and cant even imagine anybody leaving a rude comment. Good Luck in everything you do in your life!
I lost 65 pounds and never want to set foot in Lane Bryant again! When I used to shop there I would put their store bag inside another bag! LOL! They are such hypocrites-if you look at their catalogs they only use skinny women to model the clothes they sell only to fatter women. What's up with that?
Did you ever get to wear these clothes? I'd love to see you in these!! You should totally do a video of you in these cute clothes! That would rock to see how far you've come by seeing you in those! :D

You crack me up - Lane Bryant ! so funny. I feel the same way. I know this video is from just before you even had the surgery, but I am having mine tomorrow. You are doing super (down the road given all the events you managed to survive!)
I weight 190, I am 5'5, and I wear a medium of a large t-shirt 40DD and I wear a size 14-17 in jeans depending on the brand..My body type is the same as my dads, broad and strong..I was compared to a horse once...devistated me but was meant as a compliment..I am beautiful and even if I reached the weight you were in this video..I would never get the surgery, unless it was death or life.
i pray i can wear 2 outifts i bought back in 04 when i finally dieted the weight off..i am waiting to finish up everything to have my surgery and i pray i can fit into my outfits from hot topic!
I sure did buy things I couldn't wear, dreaming I would be able to diet and lose enough to put them on. But now, like you, with the surgery I had (sleeve gastrectomy), I'm looking forward to finally wear them. In fact, I already wore some (87 pounds lost today in less than 5 months) and I bought a few in June that were to small then but that I knew for sure that I would wear a few weeks/months later. That was the weirdest feeling!
You just reminded me of a Flogging Molly tanktop I bought at a concert that I've got stashed away somewhere, and have never worn.I can't wait till surgery...and one day being able to wear it! Btw, I love watching your older videos and seeing how far you've come, gives a girl hope!
Hahahaha i have a pair of jeans...I didn't actually buy them on purpose but I didn't try them on and when I got home and realized they didnt fit, they were so cute so I couldn't take them back. They will fit someday.
Oh I used to do this ALL the time too! I always had such high hopes, but it never quite worked out for me until this past year. Now that I've finally lost 155 lbs, I too am happily divorced from Lane Bryant and have started my love affair with all those skinny gal stores I was always only able to buy accessories from. All those "one day.." clothes I bought years back, are now too big! It's a great feeling isnt it? :-)
I have several items in my wardrobe that either I have never worn, or I have only been able to get on in the change room of the store. I have this really cute Bench sweatshirt, also with the thumb holes, and when I can actually wear it I will be soooo happy. I actually have a section in my closet with the too small clothes, I figure with my surgery date being mid January 2009, I should be able to fit into some of that stuff by Fall. :S
I haven't bought anything I can't wear, but I have bought things and only wore them once or twice because I got to big to keep wearing it. So I have a closet full of various sizes of clothes just waiting for me to have my surgery!! Just 5 more weeks to go!
Yes I'm one that has done that... I have a vacuum box full of all my skinny lady jeans I'm dying to get into ... Hey you still have your "Harley" sweatshirt...lol is my youngest son's name and am a motorcycle nut... I went back to view some of your old vids here... Quite the change in appearance,voice, but still a pretty woman from then to now... take care keep safe always my thoughts are with you and Joel
looking at this from watching your more recent videos, i cant hardly believe that this is you. Even your voice is different, sounds deeper and your breathing is noticable.
i think the change in you is the most dramatic change i ever saw in anyone who lost weight
just wanted to add that I sent you a request on yahoo messenger and I am getting alot of information from your vidz aswell as from the others on here that have gone thu the GBS.
you have done AMAZINGLY well gurl!!! its AWESOME!! thank you for putting your experience out there for us to see and learn from!
I've been told that it's rediculous to buy an article of clothing that you KNOW you're not gonna fit! lmao well, i guess they never heard of 'using it as inspiration or a goal' now have they? I have a few tops that I purposely bought because I thot it was just too cute to pass up & thinking hmmm.. one day I will be able to put it on! Im tired of not fitting anything. clothes, booths in restaurants, movie seats, always bumpin into everything..I hope i get approved so I can finally change that!:)
I am really enjoying all your videos! Yes, I bought a tee shirt at every concert I went to when I could squeeze into an XL, and still bought them when I was too big to wear them. Still have them, along with yes, many other things I bought because I loved them, even though I never was able to wear them. Maybe soon, my surgery is in June. Thanks so much for all you are sharing, you have no idea how much help you are to so many!
girl i have a pair of 32" waist pinstripe slacks from the gap that were $80. they were suposed to be my motavation. no they are dust collectors in the back of my closet. but im excited to think it will happen again after my band. congrats
One thing that I have noticed, is even your voice has changes from this video and your new ones.. I always hated my voice (Im not saying you voice is bad!!) Im having lap-band surgery and maybe my voice will change..
can you fit that new balance shirt? if you like it you should check out lululemon athletica. i dont think they have it in (north carolina right?) but they have expanded to the USA. it is the most comfiest clothes ever. i have two jackets and love them soooo much!
i have saved a bunch of clothes that i ONCE wore because i was confident that the day would come when i'd get back into them. seeing them in my closet transcends depressing.
last year.. sorry. I LOVE it too, I saw it in the ad and made my hubby go to the mall and they didn't have it so I had to drive to Spartanburg and it was like a quest
Oh my gosh you are so cool. I'll tell you now you are gonna be swimming in those cloths come this time next year, I kid you not & you are soooo georgeous. Yes I had heaps of dream cloths & i'm glad I did other wise I would be walking around in my hidious huge cloths I was told after having the opp DO NOT BUY CLOTHS! I brought a pair of jeans before my opperation & I could only put them on to my ankles but now I pull them right up my back side. I love the cloths. Samagale.
You are so freakin' funny! I 'almost' have the same problem...Instead of buying all kinds of small clothes (with big dreams), I've kept all of the clothes I had when I was younger and smaller..If I actually get the nerve up to post a videw, I'll share a fashion show as well :) Thanks for sharing!
