Lhollingsworth 54 Posted November 17, 2012 I went out shopping today and had to refrain from buying any new clothes. I see it as pointless considering I will be having surgery in a month! Probably one of the best reasons I have had to not buy clothing. I also packed up all of my summer gear because next summer I will not be wearing any of that!

Miss Michi 33 Posted November 17, 2012 I know what you mean!!! I bight a shirt about three weeks ago and that's it!! Since I know I'm gonna start loosing I went through my closet and got rid of all my old scrubs haven't had to wear them for work in over 2 years and they are BIG and hopefully I won't be for very long. I have organized my clothes by size because I've slowly gained and have grown out of a lot of stuff and even bought some stuff that I didn't try on beforehand that just never even fit me. I am so so so excited and looking forward to shopping for smaller sizes and one day even regular sized clothing I can't wait !!!! So for now it's only shopping for fashion accessories, the kids and the home...sigh... Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCurvyJones 721 Posted November 17, 2012 Yeah Ive stopped buying clothes. I've put some stuff away but not much. I figure there are a lot of things I can probably still wear for awhile, at least a month after surgery. I have convinced myself that I will be the only person to not lose weight, so I'm leery about getting rid of anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ima Loser 197 Posted November 18, 2012 I have convinced myself that I will be the only person to not lose weight, so I'm leery about getting rid of anything. I keep thinking this as well... I am trying to get by buying only clothes that I really need... I really enjoy black Friday shopping for clothes for myself, but this year I am going to refrain from buying anything for myself... I am hoping that I won't fit into anything I currently wear. I am going to wait to get rid or pack up any of my summer stuff... A few years ago I lost 40lbs over the summer and threw away ALL of my winter "fat" clothes vowing to never wear them again... By the next winter I had gained all my weight back and have no clothes! LoL and I really HATE buying anything now... My body is unproportioned that NOTHING looks right on me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boofster 159 Posted November 18, 2012 I have been collecting smaller sizes since September (tomorrow is my surgery). I've gone only to garage sales and consignment shops. With the exception of 3 items (a dress, a suit jacket and a suit), I haven't paid more than $3 for anything. A few times I got a whole bag of stuff for $5 (firehouse tag sale and church tag sale) and a number of 50 cent items. And good items, too - there was one sale where a woman was selling a ton of Ann Taylor stuff - for $3 each! I also bought 2 new outdoor jackets. Both of those were $5. I dress up for work every day and can't afford to go out and buy retail for everything as the weight comes off. This way, there's a good amount to choose from now, and I can supplement with a few retail pieces as I need to. IF the urge to shop strikes, remember that handbags, jewelry and scarves always fit!! 1 TheCurvyJones reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
