Buying Clothes While Loosing Weight?

[MommyTawnie 3]

YAY!! I'm soooo happy right now.. I just went to a few yard sales and walked away with 4 pairs of pants for $2.00 yep $2.00 can you believe that, and what's better is I'm hitting more sales tomorrow. I bought 2 pair that are a size to small for me but hey for $.50 who cares I will be wearing them soon enough. Now if I could find some shoes that cheap. LoL I never knew loosing weight would cause you to loose a shoe size. I've gone from a size 11 to a size 10 and it's like no one out there sales there shoes if they are larger then a size 8-9.. LoL I'm sooooo Happy I think I might Celebrate with an Atkins Sweet and Salty Bar..

I can not wait until yard sale season! I won't be finished with my 6 month fat camp until June and I'm sure that it will take a while for me to get going after that but I am going to start shopping as soon as yard sale season starts. The way I figure it, I can spend 50¢ or $1 on something I like and even if I only wear it once it'll be worth it. Talk about fueling optimism! Knowing that I can buy a smaller size and eventually fit into it will be a huge incentive! Plus, that way I can spend money on clothes before I'm sinking all of my 'excess' funds into Protein Drinks. It won't be long now!

I am totally running into issues with this because I am starting work again so I have to buy nice clothes! I've been trying for clearance but haven't found a lot. I don't shop thrift shops even though I know I would be saving a lot of money I was very lucky that the friend I just moved in with still have a range of sizes in jeans from her WLS and she was in 16s for one of her longer times and I'm right around a 16-14 right now so some of them fit so now I have jeans!!

I love leggings and you can get them pretty cheap, I think they look nice with bigger shirts and with nicer weather flats or sandals. Also you can just put on your sneakers and go for a walk, which I am going to start doing tomorrow.

I went to the mall today and, for the first time in a decade, bought clothes from the regular side of the store off the rack. Granted, it is a size 18, but it isn't an 18W and I didn't have to order off the Internet. I spent more than I should have, but the feeling from shopping like a regular person was priceless!

I have the same issue. I don't want to spend money on something that I will only wear a month. Luckily for now, I have a few things to wear now since I used to buy clothes a size or two smaller to try and motivate myself to lose weight. Those are getting baggy now though. It is such a great thing, yet such a difficult thing to deal with!
