LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted July 19, 2008 I have NO self control!! When it comes to buying new clothes… and especially shoes that is. I’ve bought FIVE NEW PAIRS in less than a week!! Gah! At least my feet look cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted July 20, 2008 It is very important that your feet look cute! Don't beat yourself up over this, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danikagold 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Well, only five? Not too bad. lol. I have limited myself to only buying items of clothing that are (1) a smaller size that I was before banding (2) less than $20 per item, and (3) appear to be wearable if I go down another size. As for shoes, well, I tell myself I need to focus on flattering my new body instead of my feet. But I swear to you I will someday buy heels (I <3 Steve Maddens) as soon as my feet are proportionate to my body and it doesn't hurt my feet to carry myself in heels. PS, you are looking great! Wonderful job. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted July 20, 2008 I have a feeling that as soon as I get out of plus sizes, I'm going to go nuts shopping for cute clothes. And I *hate* to shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks for the vote of confidence ladies… Ave, you’re so sweet – I appreciate the compliment! As an aside may I at least tell you – these shoes were absolute must-haves. One pair is made by Guess? They have to be my all time favorite designers. I haven't bought anything from them in… say – 18 years probably. They are adorable. The second pair is Jessica Simpsons, Blue Suede Shoes. Isn’t it a law that each American Citizen is to have a pair of Blue Suede Shoes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sades 4 Posted July 20, 2008 I'm not a big shopper but today my sister gave 5 pairs of shoes that she doesn't want any more, all cute. It's winter here so I won't be able to wear them until Spring but at least I didn't have to buy them. Don't beat yourself up, unless you're spending your food money that is! ) Just think, when you lose all your weight, you'll start buying cute clothes to go with them. Love Guess. I have Guess bags and a beautiful watch. My sister bought some shoes from them as well while we were in the USA a couple of years ago, very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Froggi 4 Posted July 20, 2008 I'm not gonna buy shoes till my feet get skinner...I think they have though they used to be really chubby and now they seem more boney. Can 13 or so lbs do that? LOL My ankles are skinnier now too. But I think I'll wait until after surgery for new ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
libra 13 Posted July 20, 2008 Speaking about shoes, I had all of these beautiful shoes that were a size nine. All name brands, gorgeous heels and boots. After I had my son and gained a lot of weight my foot grew to a 9 1/2 wide. I gave all of them away. Now I'm back to a size 9 again and really wish I still had all of those shoes!!! I guess I'll have to start my collection all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boo Boo Kitty 3 Posted July 20, 2008 :biggrin2:Lil Miss---PLEASE girl! 5 pairs? Get over it! At least you have no self control over shoes and not something like food! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted July 21, 2008 Don't beat yourself up, unless you're spending your food money that is! :ohmy:) Hmmm… that’s actually not a bad idea actually!! No money for food – nothing to eat = more weight loss! I'm not gonna buy shoes till my feet get skinner...I think they have though they used to be really chubby and now they seem more boney. Can 13 or so lbs do that? LOL My ankles are skinnier now too. But I think I'll wait until after surgery for new ones. You do lose weight in your feet… its true. I’ve gone from a 10WW to a 9M. I can find the cutest shoes I’ve ever seen in my size. Its no wonder Im going ballistic here. Speaking about shoes, I had all of these beautiful shoes that were a size nine. All name brands, gorgeous heels and boots. After I had my son and gained a lot of weight my foot grew to a 9 1/2 wide. I gave all of them away. Now I'm back to a size 9 again and really wish I still had all of those shoes!!! I guess I'll have to start my collection all over again. I’m telling you girl! Now don’t you wish you would have just put them in your closet hangars and kept telling yourself you would be able to get back into them someday? I know I do!! Lil Miss---PLEASE girl! 5 pairs? Get over it! At least you have no self control over shoes and not something like food! Ahhh… and it gets so much more a distant memory every day! Move over food… now there’s something much more fun!

Chickie 15 Posted July 21, 2008 It's not a problem till you consider turning the spare bedroom into a dressing room / wardrobe for your shoes and clothes due to the volume of clothes / shoes / handbags / ect. you own. Then, you have issues. Not that I would know, or anything (shuffles feet and looks away). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pix 4 Posted July 21, 2008 Oh shoes are my weakness too ... I just wish I could afford the ones I wanted ... But right now Payless is my best friend ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fanny Adams 7 Posted July 21, 2008 LOL! I think I have a grand total of 5 pairs of shoes in all - 1 pair of steel-capped men's workboots (I work on a mine), 1 pair of runners, 1 pair of leather thongs (flipflops?) and umm... umm... 1 pair of ratty old wedge slip-on sandals and umm... umm... ok, make that 4 pairs of shoes all up :ohmy: *edit* And a pair of cheap zip-up black ankle boots! So yeah, five pairs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted July 21, 2008 I think I'm up to 7. For me, that's extravagant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OH Juli 15 Posted July 21, 2008 5 pair? Go on with your bad self. It's only money and we need to get our joy where ever we can. I've cried as I've given away my shoes from when I was heavier...but alas, that just means I need to get new ones! I've learned some self control when it comes to buying clothing, I buy only what I need now, but when I get to goal, watch out! I want to drop REAL money on clothing...you know the $400 coats, $100 pants, that kind of thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
