Shopping

[Tiki 74]

Am down 43 pounds. I have NOTHING to wear to work. I cleaned out my closet and now it is full of empty hangers. I had a wedding to go to last weekend and had to wear my smallest pair of slacks that I could still pull up and down with unzipping them. I girded em up with a belt and wore a loner shirt that was also too big. On the way home I told my husband that I couldn't go home without a few shirts and at least one pair of pants. So we went shopping. It is weird to shop when you have no idea what size you are. I gravitated toward the plus sizes but knew I couldn't wear them. I saw a few things I liked but discarded them because they looked to small. Finally I tried one if the shirts I thought was too little and it was too big. Crazy. I now own 1 pair of pants, 5 shirts, 3 pairs of panties and a bra. I guess I will be doing laundry more frequently. Lol.

There is a website that you can "rent" plus clothing and send them back and they will send you more outfits. This way your not spending a ton of money on clothing that in a few months won fit. I have not used them yet as I am just 2 week post op but a co worker had the sleeeve in August and gave me the info. Check it out if you like.

Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? I just cleaned out for the second time since my journey started and had to pick up a few things this wkd. My underwear did not fit any longer, and bras were too big, as well as pants and tops. I had no clue what size underwear to buy. They all looked so dinky, I thought there was no way my fat azz would fit lol.

I see you are in TX. I went to the San Marcos outlet malls, got great deals.

I'm about 10 miles from the San Marcos outlets, I'm in new Braunfels. Headed there this weekend, I'm only 7 weeks out, just need some jeans to get me by for a bit! Love the outlets!!!

Congratulations! I know what you mean, I just posted my story on here. I went to the mall yesterday, because all my clothes are basically hanging off me and automatically went for the bigger sizes. When I walked out of the store I had (2) size 12 pants and (2) large shirts. I was a tight 20, and 3xl shirt post surgery. It takes some getting used to (this new size). I look at all the cute small shirts and think "no way", but now I may actually fit them! Great news on your weightloss!

I can totally relay. I have cleaned out my closet twice. I'm currently wearing size 10 and I can't believe it. I leave in Smyrna, TN and I have been going to the consignment stores and thrifty stores to look for work clothes. I have no short/capris for summer. I love shopping but I just can't afford it. Great job on losing your weight! Have you already reached your goal weight?
