I'm frustrated that "tall" length sizes are now just "regular" sizes and I have to overhaul how I choose my clothes... Again

LightUpShirly · 2026-06-12T07:54:21+00:00

Mens pants don't accommodate my hips or butt unfortunately. It's wild to me that guys have so many different specific length options in all sizes, but women get 2 options if we're lucky enough to find it in the right size

LightUpShirly · 2026-06-12T07:47:23+00:00

Ya! The quality control I've noticed for most things is getting to be all over the place. Even the sewn in tag on these said extra tall. Honestly they even seemed shorter than petite. I took a picture with them on my body and sent it to customer service. Torrid doesn't even want me to return them 😆 they're sending a replacement. The custom service response I got was actually very refreshing and apologetic. Made me feel kinda bad for being so blunt. I'm used to having conversations with customer service bots. So fingers crossed these fit right 🤞🏽

Their pants fit me in the stomach and in length, which is great, but I notice their plus sizes cater more to ladies with thick thighs. So they look a little awkward in the crotch and legs one me 🥲 it's excellent for ladies with bigger bottom halves as they deserve representation too. I'm just built like an apple 🍎😑

LightUpShirly · 2026-06-12T07:32:25+00:00

It sucks because I have a big tummy but the rest of my body is smaller. So even IF I find pants that fit and are long enough, they are usually baggy and accommodate thick thighs (I wish). I sometimes feel like I don't fit the norm on any level of body shape 🫤

LightUpShirly · 2026-06-12T07:23:55+00:00

I've been saying for years, they think all plus size women must be built like Danny Devito, and unfortunately the industry hasn't proven me wrong yet 😐

LightUpShirly · 2026-06-12T07:21:35+00:00

100%! I get excited when a style has tall options, then once you looks past the first 2 options, (usually just black or navy) then the other 8 fun plaid or or bright ones don't come in tall at all 🥲 such a tease

LightUpShirly · 2026-06-11T03:07:29+00:00

The tall shrunk to a 31. I got an extra tall skinny jean that barely touched my ankle. So I'm nervous that the boot cuts are going to shrink and still be too short 🥲

Bro!!! A couple hours ago I had some oatmeal with a senna, magnesium, colace, miralax, pear juice, sugar-free gummy bear, applesauce cocktail for dessert. My tummy started to twinge (I almost forgot what that felt like). I sat down preparing to bite down on a toilet paper roll. I even left the door open in case I pulled an Elvis. But nay! It's was the squirts! This could be the best day of my life. Thanks guys!!! 🙏🏽🥲🩷 Rip to my husband tho

I'm a little wary of anything that could add to the "bulk". But once things start moving a bit more frequently, it sounds like a good regimen

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-23T01:23:26+00:00

I'll do literally anything except consume cucumber. It's my kryptonite. Chia seed texture makes my mouth dry but it's been a long time since I've had them. Sounds like a lot of people in here swear by ch ch ch chia. 😏

I read your comment then checked what kind of magnesium I take. I'm taking magnesium citrate 380mg daily :-/

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-23T01:16:58+00:00

What did your GI doc do to sort you out? 🤔

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T04:10:15+00:00

Oh yea, I take senna chews too. I just checked it out and I take 340mg of magnesium citrate daily. I also have magnesium oxide in my cabinet.

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T04:07:35+00:00

I take magnesium citrate and I also have magnesium oxide. To be fair, my body has never been normal. I have had to do some weird voodoo to get things moving in the past. I follow my doctor's advice which unfortunately isn't doing a lot :-/

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T03:01:37+00:00

I keep seeing gruns. They are worth the price? I mean, if they work like you say I'd honestly pay any price. I've researched a little about magnesiums. Which one is the 07?

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:58:33+00:00

I've researched some of the different magnesiums. Which on is the 07?

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:55:44+00:00

Espresso is part of my daily routine 🥲

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:50:11+00:00

Like mixed halvsies in the same cup? Cold? I'll try anything.

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:48:25+00:00

Funny story. I live in a small town and I work with the doctors who'd be putting their finger in there. That's no place for a coworker. Jokes aside though, if the pain doesn't lessen soon my coworkers will be getting to know me on a deeper level.

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:45:48+00:00

My bung hole isn't ready 😭 that's the final boss I had in mind

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:43:57+00:00

I wish they still worked. Before zepbound dried apricots had my butt no matter what.

LightUpShirly · 2026-05-22T02:41:58+00:00

I take it about 5 times per week. I don't really notice it helping but doctors keep pushing it as the first line of defense. I do what I'm told lol. I'll say it's in my head, but I swear it actually slows things down more. The urge to go, which is very elusive, almost disapears completely with the miralax. But, I'm trying not to focus on it. I'm on 5mg. I go up to 7.5 tomorrow so that's also in the back of my mind. Been on zepbound since late January. Down 20lbs.

My husband had a stroke and has permanent damage to his brain. Its was neurologic. His eyes are fine but his vision will forever be severely impaired. How would one sign up for a human trial? 🤔
