clothing

May 01, 2011

today, I was reading an article on OH that talked about your changing wardrobe.  I was so excited everytime I went down in size.  I could buy clothes a little smaller in the plus size store, then finally I didn't have to go into the plus size stores to look for clothes.  I work in an office where you had to dress professionally.  Before it was so hard to find clothes that will fit me so I stayed with the same outfits and would only go shopping when I apsoulately had to.  I would go shopping for my husband and kids but never thought twice for myself because there was only one store I could go to and find clothes my size and the clothes never looked nice on me I jsut wanted them to look half way decent.  Well, I looked in my closet and I have bought a lot of clothes in the past  1 1/2 year since the surgery.  The biggest size 32-34, I had to give to charity because none of my friends could ever fit in that size.  When I got down to the lower 20s I was able to give those to my best friend.  I now in a size 16 misses and some 14 but I am so afraid I will go back up.  I now have a closest full of clothes.  I of course have only bought clothes on clearance.  Before I lost the weight I did not like to pay the full price for clothes and I really do not pay the full price because I change clothes so many times now.  I have been in a size 16 now for 2 months. My goal is a size 14 (I know that it is big for most people but that is a size I can fell comfortable in and anything under that would be great).  Anyway, I find myself looking into my closest and it is packed.  I can go in it and pick out a different outfit for everyday for over 2 weeks.  It feels great to try on clothes and look to see how I look in it and then try on other things with it.  I have spent a lot of money the past year, eventhough I always but things on clearance.  I have bought now clothes that cost 1.99-3.99 and people are complimenting me that it looks so good and I feel so good when I say it only cost 1.99 or 5.00 or 6.99.  Anyway , eventhough I have spent some money on my new clothes, I would not change it.  I have enjoyed every bit of it and I pray to God that I never go back in those bigger size.  If I don't go down another size it will be ok but I want to reach my personal goal.  However, I hope I never go back up even one size.
