Ahhh yes.... I just wish finding the new me was more an " event " like

surgery...vs. a process, like losing the weight!

Thanks for your thoughts!

Amy,

I cannot believe you are only a year ahead of me. I remeber so well

the night we met - it seemed like you were 5 years out!! LOL!! Your

confidence abounded! Your prayers gave me peace! WOW!! You were only

11 months out!

I wish I could tuck in a shirt and wear a belt. I just can't do it.

Maybe after a tummy tuck. Til then I am in the untucked club!

hugs, cindy lee

This subject has been plagueing me (in a good way) since it started.

I have just been to sick to post to it. Maybe I will later today.

But Amy, you are so right. We have all been to such different places

in our minds and bodies that we each need to find our own styles. I

have found that my style, while before wls was whatever fit, was

still kinda 60's, but couldnt find the clothes. My style now is

still kinda the same and still finding clothes that fit can be a

problem. But my mind/body image are on opposite ends of the chart.

Hi lee

I tucked in my shirt for the very first time and wore a belt with a

huge belt buckle. The shirt my Grandad bought me when I was about

20. It is a western shirt from Jedlickas in Santa Barbara and I was

never able to wear it- way small. But I saved it, as it was

something my Grandad picked out for me and bought me. My Grandad was

the only man that ever truly loved me, unconditionally, until

. But he died in '83, the same year my ex left.

The huge belt buckle came from winning the Whiskey Flat Mayors

contest in 1992, and I never wore it because I didnt even own a belt.

lol

I wore them both to Whiskey Flats this year and felt really good

about it too.

I know it is because of my flat tummy. I kinda overlook the huge

legs and butt i still have. Your are right. After your tummy tuck

you will feel great!

Sharon,

I bet you looked great!!! So good that you saved the shirt all these

years and can now enjoy wearing it! Your granddad would be thrilled!

If I had your little waist and flat tummy I would tuck in my shirts

and wear a belt everyday!! Mitch has a western belt buckle that was

his dad's, I would love to wear it someday with jeans, a western

shirt and boots. But I know I would not like the way I looked -the

jelly belly look is not for me. If I try to tuck something in I look

like I have dunlap disease - my belly dun laps over my jeans!

Thanks for the kind words Vicki. I just wish I was comfortable in

this body. I know what Jim and everyone is saying about missing the

old me. I dont want to be 347 lbs ever again. I do miss hiding out

in the 347 lb body tho---- strange huh?
