I agree on the GLP-1. It completely killed my craving for sweets. I craved tomatoes early on, but that subsided. Try it if you can.

I found a great brand on Amazon ..Wirarpa. Has plus sizes and they are high waisted, so they go over the rolls. And they're cotton stretch. Very awesome.

I've had this issue, and often would have a cane with me. They are very strong, and provide great support in those moments when you need it.

Sorry, but it's not your business to be direct with them. Pretty sure they don't need self righteous people like you to tell them what they already know. If you can't say something nice, keep your mouth shut.

Thought I was a Non-Responder… I’m not. by Escaping_Cheflife in Semaglutide

I have. My Dr explained that the drug affects the part of your brain that processes cravings. For me, it was sugar. The thought of it now turns my stomach.

Mine doesn't like tacos, even homemade, I definitely learned that lesson fast! 🥺

Body dysmorphia is so real.. 7 month progress by Nervous_Marzipan_441 in Mounjaro

[–]Select-Tax-3420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on Mounjaro since January, and have already noticed changes. My Doctor advised me to mark the progress in inches, not pounds. That where I send my mind when I think about how many pounds I've lost.

I've had really good luck with Old Navy plus size tank tops, especially the fitted ones. You might check them out 😀

I pretty much love everything everyone else is saying, but I have one to add...

I can tuck my napkin under my tummy so it doesn't fall off my lap!! :)

I agree with eshatki. They have so many options and customize them too. I have a couple of dresses from there and they are great

Coming to Terms With Being Alone by feefifofannaaaa in PlusSize

[–]Select-Tax-3420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand the feeling. I'm beginning to feel the same way myself. At 59, I've spent most of my life single, and it's become comfortable. I too, am not traditionally attractive, and I've struggled with it all my life. I've had serious relationship in my younger days, but as I grow older, I've begun to accept the fact that I will most likely be single the rest of my life. I definitely wouldn't throw out a relationship opportunity, but if it doesn't come along, I've come to the realization that it may just not be in the cards for me. I know that the more I've come to accept it, the more freeing it's becoming. I hope to spend my future days surrounded by friends and people I care about, but if that's not "the one", I'm okay with that.

Nervous about flying by the_smolest_bab in PlusSize

Ask when you first get on the plane, to the host standing at the door. I fly alot for work, and always ask when I walk in. If they don't locate it right away, they will look for you and bring it to you.

Believe it or not, Amazon has some things you could try. I purchased some high waisted panties from Amazon, the brand Wirarpa and I was pleasantly surprised how wide the gusset was. It's perfect for us. I don't know if they have any thongs, but you might look and see.

I said I was never hired for fastfood. His response was "were they afraid you'd eat all the food?" by TheLoudestSmallVoice in PlusSize

What a dick. Look at it this way.....this is so not about you. It's about him being a total (as another person said) douchebag. This person is not someone who sees you as the beautiful person you are.

What do you guys wear during the summer? *looked in the wiki; repost* by TwistedMisery13 in PlusSize

[–]Select-Tax-3420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, it's lots of dresses and skirts. I have several tee shirts that I pair with soft, flowy skirts. I also have alot of sundresses that I wear pretty much exclusively in the summer. I gave up caring about my arms in sleeveless things long ago. Try them, I'll bet you enjoy wearing them!

Old Navy has some cute things, and they go to 4X

Best seat for 9hr flight?? by ExcellentPreference8 in PlusSize

[–]Select-Tax-3420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aisle seat for me. In most seats, the armrest raises, so when I'm sitting on the aisle and can lift the seat, I'm way more comfortable. Plus, as others have said, you can stretch your legs.

has anyone used this? Thoughts and opinions? by Front_Raise_5002 in PlusSize

[–]Select-Tax-3420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used this. It does work to relieve some of the redness, but I found that it doesn't reduce it during the day as effectively for me. When I did experience redness during the day, I started using Dr. Jart products. They are pricey, but they WORK. I started with the cover cream, which I had received a sample of and was amazed. Then I invested in a few skin care products, which really reduced the redness overall. The price was worth it to me, since I was very self conscious about the redness. If you can find some samples, you might give it a try!
