NSV - I need new clothes!

[anonemouse 1]

This has been my first real NSV since surgery. Well, a couple of weeks after surgery, a couple of people said that they could see that my face was thinner, but that doesn't really count because they knew I had surgery. Anyway, I noticed today that I could pull my pants down without unzipping them (unbuttoned but not unzipped) and that my shirt was baggier than I remember it being. So I guess I need new clothes! It's a good thing that the last time I found pants that I liked, I bought three different sizes of them (when you're 5'3" and fat, and find something you like that fits well, you get several because you'll never find them again if you go back to look).

Lauren,

That's terrific. I totally understand the buying all you can find that fits...At 6ft tall, I have the same problem (just different!!! ).

What a great NSV...Happy for you!

Penney's is having a pretty good sale. $20 off 100$. I just ordered a pair of jeans and 4 tops. I am down to a size 16 from a 22 in jeans and down to and XL from a 2x in tops. It is a great feeling but kind of hard on the pocketbook. I keep an eye out for sales! Great job!

I BADLY need new tops. I can't buy things off the internet, though, because I have to try clothes on before I buy them. Some things fit, others don't. There's never any pattern to it, though. I usually wind up buying very plain t-shirts, all the same style but different colors, just because it's so hard to find clothes that fit. Pants are the hardest. I carry much of my weight in my belly, so if I find pants that fit around my waist, they're usually baggy around my hips and absolutely cavernous around my butt.
