So, I've been staring at the Before and Afters again...sigh. I just can't help it. I've taken notice to something though--clothes. Most every before picture is of a heavy person in frumpy clothes. Now....I know that there are some days where my self esteem is in the toilet...and by "some days" I mean most every day. I find myself not wanting to buy new clothes or shoes just because I know I don't want to look like this forever. The only clothes I do buy are on clearance...no shirt over $10 and no pants over $20. Old Navy is perfect for this. BUT, the clothes I buy, they're not just t-shirts and jeans.Now, this may be because of my age and/or my outlook on life, but, I find myself trying to dress to impress, even if it's just my friends. I mean, there are only so many ways to wear a tshirt and jeans. Sure, we can all find them, but, why not wear an off the shoulder t-shirt and some cropped pants? It's still what you're used to, it still covers you, but, its a bit more stylish.
This blog may be falling on deaf ears because all of those before and afters are just that--frumpy and hot pictures. It seems to me that as the weight comes off and the self esteem starts to climb, the clothing starts to...I dunno..get sexier...get better? hm. interesting. Now, I'm not trying to state the obvious here....I'm just trying to enlighten myself as to what's happening in people's heads.
I'm just excited to see what I will wear....perhaps a two piece bathing suit? Something I haven't warn since my age was in the single digits? we shall see!
