DON’T be like me and make this mistake! Return what doesn’t serve your body.

Fit Tip: Shorts that bind at the thigh likely are not cut for your body. This fit will not change even when your body does.

With so many brand and options, we no longer need to wear garments that are not supportive for our individual bodies!

Truth be told, these shorts are from many seasons back and this may be the 3rd time I wore them because they dig into my thigh and I absolutely do not love that look! When I bought them I thought they would fit when I lost 10lbs. Yeah, no so much. I should have returned them because our clothes should bring us joy and adornment that makes us feel good and expresses our style confidently.

With robust thighs, it is easy to think this is how it has to be but it doesn’t.

I chose to go out with these because we were in a hurry, losing the light and I wanted to be carefree in getting out the door in a sporadic moment when my son said “we are going to the beach in 10 minutes, be ready” and these were the only red shorts I had that fit to keep with my daily red theme in February. When I got in the car and saw how they dug in I thought well, I guess this is my moment to teach you all that this isn’t how it’s supposed to be.

Hope this helps. Although I do love these shorts and have sourced them for you, I will add my other suggested brand that doesn’t dig in or roll up👏 but they will be in standard black or blue colors.(animal print, too!)

Let’s wear clothing that reflects our current body…

When we wear clothes that are not our current size during a body transformation whether it be from a Bariatric surgery, plastic surgery, Lipedema removal surgery, GLP1 journey, natural weight loss, weightlifting or whatever method you are employing to create your shift, we get confused because our eyes see what is shown to them and then our brains have a difficult time noting the difference.

If you want details on this comfy, warm, soft pajama / lounging set, let me know and I will see if it can still be sourced.

This was the 5th ♀️ Recording directly in Reels and IG was not playin. SMH Does this happen when you record, too?

Bariatric peeps…When do you take your chewable iron? I take mine at night after i have brushed my teeth and ever since I started my Tirz jourmey in May, once a month I wake up with a black tongue. Have you experienced this?

Glad to see a half pound loss. Glad to be consistently back on my shot schedule.

How is it going for you? Are you on a weight loss journey, too?

Here’s what I wore for my salon visit today! Keeping to my tradition of wearing every day in February but I have to admit it has been a struggle this year since I don’t have too many pieces that aren’t too big this year. It’s a great issue to have but we have had too much going on for me to get to shopping. Anyway, my stylist said he was surprised I had so little red on…lol

Love this crocodile style handbag…it holds SO much! Comes in a variety of colors with a shoulder strap and matching wallet and card holder. Do you prefer a large or small bag?

These wide leg yoga pants are buttery soft, perfect amount of stretch, with pockets, and the draw string is great for changing bodies and those of us with waist/hip ratio differences!🤪 @lipoelastic_usa black band Active leggings for the win as my compression today (you can use my code:curvygirlbeth directly on their website for a discount)

I love a red leopard print and this one is my new fit for the year because my staple is just too oversized for me now.

I have been having body dysmorphia because of wearing old items that are not reflecting my current size so I am going to focus on only wearing outfits that fit even to bed! My night and loungewear have really been messing me up!
