A goood problem to have...

[juliansmommy 67]

O I am still in the pre op phase... Looking for a February surgery date... So it's been almost 6 weeks of the south beach diet and I'm down 15lbs and 6 inches!! Woo hoo! So happy for sure. So here's my problem...I am a clothes horse... I love clothes... My mother and grandmother have the same affliction. Lol. So now that I am losing weight and inches my clothes are hanging on me... Don't get me wrong... I'm now where near being thinner... Started at 301 size 24... Now at 287 and getting into 20's or 2x and even some 1 x stuff. I keep thinking of people to give my old clothes to then I get sad. I know some of you have good funerals but I think honestly mine is going to be giving my clothes away. I know it sounds silly they r just clothes but for me they have been my armor. My protector. I am a realtor so I am always dressed up and honestly I always felt better dressed up. And now that I am losing my clothes don't look as nice with the plumber me in them. They are hanging nicely now. Anyone else feel this was?

I know... Cry me a river right? ????????????

Thanks!!

Mine was a little bit of the opposite. I never really had nice clothes because I felt nothing looked good on me and the options for pretty clothes at my size were so limited. As I started losing I discovered that I could find pretty nice business style clothes at the thrift store. I dress better now in my second hand clothes than I did before and it is such a confidence builder. Getting clothes that actually fit is an important part of the process and allows you to see how much you're progressing. Don't mourn the old clothes embrace the journey and go shopping for new (or new to you) clothes that will show off how hard you're working!
