Shopping=Depression

[AmandaRaeLeo 2,146]

I feel ya on this! I hate shopping but I LOVE fashion!! I always said if I was rich and could figure out a way to be a plus size designer I would have jumped on it because I could always envision so many cute outfits but good luck finding anything close in 22/24 and 26/28. I will say that I have had the best luck with shopping at Torrid. I don't have one within 2 hours of me so I have shopped Torrid.com and they really do have some cute clothes. Sundresses' date=' maxi-dresses, and so much more. Also, Simplybe.com is a new one I just started looking at and they have some pretty cute things. As big as I got (282) I still always made sure to try and find the best clothes that I could. I (one day,hopefully) look forward to not having to be in the plus size stores but until then I am on the lookout for the cutest stuff I can find.[/quote']

I love Torrid too! Fun and flirty fashions for the pleasantly plump gal.

I'm newly sleeved' date=' so I haven't gotten to the smaller size clothes yet, but listen...... I am so excited to not be sad about shopping another summer. So excited.

In the winter, I had ONE outfit. One. Stretchy pants and a long hoody. That's what I wore in the rare times I left the house. I hated going out, too, because of how ugly I felt. In the warmer months, I wore jeans and a tshirt. One outfit. I'm so excited also to wear cute things for my fiancé. Even though he says that he loves me regardless, I just know that men love to be proud of being with a sexy lady! Lol. And he deserves the best. And... He's hot. I snagged him when I was thinner. He's a sexy man. And I want to be his sexy woman.

Stay strong. It's hard, but the shopping depression will soon be a thing of the past. Xo![/quote']

I soooo know what you mean. I have a "life uniform". I wear the same damn thing every single day. I just change up my make up and accessories lol! I can't wait to have more than one outfit!!!

I hate to tell you this, but it doesn't fully go away even after you lose a chunk of weight. Fortunately, IT DOES GET BETTER.

I am down 90lbs, and now I am having to hide different imperfections and frustrations. The greatest part is that the clothes actually do fit, and there are so many more selections. My best shopping moment came two weeks ago when I no longer fit into the smallest size at Lane Bryant. I had to find a new 'go to' store for pants, and boy are things sized differently every where else.
