Hello All. I have self-esteem issues...I always have and I get bouts of it now and then rather then all the time like I used to. My sister, realizing that I didn't feel as beautiful as I am, after just getting hit on by two guys who were both very decent, one four years younger than me and one that was a few years older. I am sad to say this but I honestly, and you can ask my sister this, I do not know what getting hit on is like, I never have...it happens to me all the time and I am oblivious to the fact that it actually happened. It just sounds like a guy or girl (yes, I've been hit on by girls) starting a conversation with me. Back to the original story, We went into Forever 21, which is a place I do not fit into and can not shop at, or so I thought. We went towards the back of the store and my sister grabbed up jeans in 16s and 18s. I tried on the 16s on the off-chance that they fit...and they FIT!! They fit, they fit, they fit!!! I was so over-joyed by this. Incredibly so. What was even better was that there was gappage!! It gapped everywhere, which was so great for my self-esteem, and I am now confident that I am losing weight, more than I thought I had.((Forever 21s 16 is basically a 14.)) -I've lost 4 lbs -probably more now considering I haven't checked in a couple of weeks-, despite the 2 in the bar. When I started I was 2 lbs heavier at 230.-

So yeah, I am happy currently.:laugh: :happy:

    All the forever 21's by me measure their sizes in waist! Like, 26. 27, 28, 29, 30, and so on and so forth...

    Anyways haha Congrats!

    I can relate--my sister is super-pretty and naturally thin... I got the "curvy" genes, I guess... too bad there's a lack of men who appreciate curves where I'm living. I totally understand the confidence boost you get when something doesn't fit because it's falling off.

    CONGRATS!! You deserve your happiness, enjoy it! :D

    I know!!! I'm very happy about this. Finally some progress after a rebound.

    Actually I did, I decided that I would go shopping with my sister instead, since she is a vegetarian and I have somewhat vegetarian tendencies. -I still want sushi.- Much better food choices and exercise daily so this should be good.

    ((I would hope not. I am in no way a troll, in fact I despise them. They annoy the bloody hell out of me. :smile: ))

    The stuff in the front does, but the bigger sizes and whatnot towards the back don't. They're higher sizes, so I guess they don't bother to measure them but the ones that I tried had size 16 and size 18 on them. Maybe for the higher sizes they do that.

    Thank you!! :)

    I am very much, thanks!!
    My naturally thin friends are wonderful people, I just wish I was naturally thin and I'm working toward it. It was a great boost of confidence though, I started walking with confidence and everything, basically nothing was bothering me at all.

    See I told you we should let me dress you up like Barbie more often! I win, so there! :P

    And her mom thinks a decent meal is a large sub Hook and Ladder, with everything, large full sugar/calorie coke, chips and a cookie. Then again she burns 3000 calories a day at her job, so that's cool for her. But, the thought that if you eat anything after 5pm at all... including a vegetable it will camp out on your hips for ever.... That has me a little worried... ne?

    Ahh, the 1990's misinformation seessions we all know and agonized over ...oi!

    Take care all and good luck with your goals, see you at the finishline for a mani, pedi and a shopping spree!
