Word of Advice

When its time to buy new clothes, no matter how tempted you are, do not buy the next size down. Two reasons: 1. you will be uncomfortable for some period of time (probably 2-3 weeks) and 2. all the fat look comes right back and along with it all the feelings you had 78lbs ago.

Too late. Maybe it depends on where you are at your weight loss. I even buy a pair of slacks one size smaller just so that I can try them on and realize I have more work to do.

July '12 - plus size 20 to Dec '12 - Ladies 14 (size 12 hanging on the door)

I disagree, I purposely buy the next size down because I dont want to waste my money...within 2 weeks I will be fitting the next size....   I posted here just last week about buying some too tight jeans that Id be able to fit this week...well guess what?  I WISH Id purchased them 2 sizes too small....these wont last til New Years

I find if that if you buy the next size down it is more motivation to work harder to lose the weight to get to the next size.
