To think I'm too fat to wear jeans at 14 stone?

[Iwant2wearjeans]

I have been avoiding going out for 3 years now, I would always decline invitations and isolated myself because of my weight. I used to be 22 stone, now I’m 14 stone and have been losing weight slowly since 2016.

I still haven’t socialised, I keep saying to myself I’ll do that once I reach my target weight which is 9stone. When I reach my target weight I’ll buy lots of clothes, makeup and go out. That’s what I tell myself all the time.

AIBU to think just fuck it, buy some nice clothes/makeup and go out and connect with my old friends?

I have been stuck like this for 3-4 years now, not going out, making excuses even things like sitting in a restaurant I can’t do. I’m too self conscious to sit and eat in a restaurant.

I still wear dresses/skirts, and I’m not confident enough to wear jeans which I’d love to do.

Would love to hear from people who’ve been in my situation. Ive isolated myself for so long, I don’t even know how to put makeup on anymore.

Amazing OP, you should be very proud. I’m a size 20 and wearing skinny jeans right now (Next - Jegging style). You’re much smaller and will look great. If I’m going out I tend to wear black skinny jeans with heels (boots or shoes) and a nice top x

@milliefiori where did the size 18/20 lady get her lovely top? I’d love to know. Thanks x

I weigh 13 and a half stone, am 5 foot 5 and my favourite jeans are Marks and Spencer supersoft high waisted skinny jeans. I feel good in them and they flatter my shape.
You can lead a full life at your weight, honestly.

meant to say an m and s size 14 fits me, in case that helps

I'm 14 stone 3, in a size 16 jeans and 14 tops, I think I look fine in jeans.
I'm 5'9 though

I am 14 stone. I wear jeans all the time. I have boyfriend, skinny and straight. Size 16. From ASDA mostly as v comfy!

Size 18 and I wear M&S jeans, have relaxed slim, boyfriend and cropped styles. Live in them, wear long jumpers or tunics. T shirts with the cropped ones in summer.

Get some Next 360 jeans (think Hypercurve are new version), they hold you in and don't have pockets that make you look bulky. You'll look absolutely fine.
