LapBandBobbi 8 Posted September 23, 2010 I recently decided if I tried something on and it was too big, I would put it in a bag and not back in the closet. As I was getting ready for work this morning, I realized I had very little to choose from. Guess, I'm going to have to do a little shopping. :smile2: Seems like I've always been obsessed with that number on the scale (which moves very slowly downward), but now I beginning to see physical changes as well. I love my band! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honk 780 Posted September 24, 2010 I need to start cleaning out my closet. Maybe this weekend. I have been holding off buying new stuff becuase I'm a "consultant" and I currently work from home. If I get an onsite gig I will have to buy stuff that fits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmyC315 0 Posted September 24, 2010 I've always been a Yo-Yo dieter, so I've always kept my larger sized clothes knowing I would eventually get back into them. But I can tell this time is different, I feel different, my attitude is different, my mindset is different. So those larger sized clothes no longer have a place in my life and I've already thrown some out and given some away. It feels great to not look back anymore.

LapBandBobbi 8 Posted September 24, 2010 I was also a yo-yo dieter and had multiple sizes in my closet. It's great to know we will never need those bigger sizes anymore. It also makes it much easier to pull them out of the closet for good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaggieB 6 Posted September 24, 2010 Last night I came to the realization that I need new clothes. I am still losing - down 40lbs, my clothes are hanging on me. I'm a nurse - so wear scrubs during the day - don't notice the weight loss much, its amazing how the scrubs hide it. I had changed into some shorts and tshirt to attend a meeting for my daughter - saw myself in the mirror and was alittle shocked - my shorts and tshirt were so baggy they looked awful. I'm trying to hold off until the weather changes before buying more clothing - live in North Texas & we are still having 90+ degree days. Even tho my clothes looked awful - I'm loving the weight loss! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niki1617 1 Posted September 25, 2010 Congratulations!!! It's such a great feeling!!! I recently went form being able to wear blue jeans everyday at work to business casual, so I had to buy some new things. I have found a lot of new things at Sears in my area. I bought 3 shirts and a pair of pants for $29 this week. I don't want to spend a ton of money because I am still losing. I have found that tailoring is kind of expensive. Keep the momentum! :0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
