I Can't Eat, But I Can Shop

... and it's becoming a serious problem!

Before, I hated shopping. Nothing fit, and even when it did (somewhat), it didn't look good.

After dropping a significant amount of weight, of course I needed to buy a few things, but there is a huge difference: when I shop now, everything fits.

I don't need to go to a special store, any store will do. And no matter what I try on, it looks good.

I was sleeved only 3.5 months ago, and I've already spent hundreds of dollars on new clothes. I love the "better" labels. One of these days, the salespeople at Macys will start calling me by my first name.

I remember how I used to have to really search for clothes that half-way fit. I used to have to "settle" for fugly, frumpy clothes, because that's all there was. Now, I have to learn to be picky!

I need to come to terms with the fact that everything looks good on me now, but I can't buy everything!

Yay sleeve. Boo wallet.

^{if you have enough clothes at this weight level than perhaps you only buy new things as you meet new goals. I noticed you were 22 lbs from goal, i am not sure how many of the clothes you are buying at this weight will still fit you when you hit your goal weight. I am sure it is exciting and look forward to looking good in clothes again.}

Of course you're right. But it seems I'm trading one compulsion for another. Maybe I'm an "emotional shopper" now. And I'm loving size 14s so much more than size 24s.
