Hey Good Looking

Now that you have lost that 15 lbs or maybe more
Fitting into the blue jeans that you could not throw out.
Have you ditched the big ugly glasses and went for contact lenses?
I have lost 12 lbs
And feeling lighter on my feet already
I’m thinking that the big old frames need to go
Thoughts?

Go for it! I’ve worn contacts since I was like 14 years old no matter my weight and I like them. Give it a shot!

i ditched 'em.

I dunno about big ugly glasses (they're narrow metal frames, bright fuchsia/magenta colored), but I haven't ditched mine.

I didn't even choose to ditch them when I needed cataract surgery (opted to stay nearsighted with the implanted lenses, though not just in order to keep wearing glasses). I wouldn't know myself without glasses, and don't really like how I look without them.

Everyone's going to be different, eh?

If you think you look better without yours - many people do - then by all means ditch them. Unless you get surgery, it's a reversible decision, if you don't like it in the long run. Heck, even with surgery, it's reversible, if you get some with plain non-corrective lenses. 😉

I kind of like how this question reads like prose poetry.

So:

As you feel better and better
Reveling in your progress toward the goal
Remember to make time for joy
Do those things that help you see
Just how much you've changed,
outside and within.
Bear in mind what others say
but in the end...
do what sets you free!

Yes, I ditched mine and switched to contacts. While weight loss was a factor (40+lbs), it was the damn mask that kept fogging up my glasses!! I still sport them once in a while when I'm too lazy to stick my fingers into my eyes....

I love the way I look with my glasses, my face looks empty without them

I broke my glasses last week and have to wait up to two weeks to get them. I've had to wear my one day use disposable contacts.

I HATE wearing these stupid things. Moat of the day I just go blind and hope I don't run into things

Or you can get some nice adorable frames and keep the glasses. So many frames nowadays are chic and stylish. It's not easy switching to contacts for everybody. But you can always upgrade your style/class of frames.
