First I bought new clothes b/c my old ones were too big, then I got my hair done, now I want new jewelry to wear with my new clothes.

LOL I can't wait to get dressed up now and go somewhere. I feel so good about myself!

Thankfully my birthday is Monday and I've asked everyone for clothes, belts, earrings or gift cards.

I was thinking of selling my old clothes on ebay and using the money to buy some clothes at an OP shop. My favourite jeans are already hanging off of me...At first I was a bit upset by that but then I realise "hold onnn...I'm losing weight...That's a good thing" lol.

Ask for some of that stuff for Christmas!

6 out of 7 days I love my big baggy clothes! today, I HATE THEM!!! I feel frumpy and unkept (same emotions I felt when I was 65 lbs heavier....) so today was a day I hated everything in my closet....so I went shopping!!! now I feel better :w00t:

happy shopping :thumbup:

I met two friends today for lunch and found an outfit to wear that actually fit (most of my clothes are from up to 100 pounds ago. One of them has seen me in process and knows about the band; the other last saw me 75 pounds ago. Not sure if it was professionalism (he's in HR) or if his wife has him really well trained but he did not mention my weight loss at all. In the course of the conversation I did tell him about the surgery; but it felt good to "dress up" (I work from home which means I can wear my reallllyyy baggy clothes) and wear a nice outfit.

I used to "reward" myself with food. Now I can "reward" myself with clothes!

Haha...it's all still cheaper than rising medical costs :thumbup: I got a beautiful diamond/sapphire "band" of my own to commemorate my journey I liked the idea of a visible symbol and well, heck, I just like jewelry, too :w00t:!

I'm going to wait until I'm at goal and then I'm going on a shopping spree like you've never seen. I'm going to buy everything I've ever wanted since I was in my teens but couldn't wear because I was fat. The damage could be well into the thousands. I've already warned my fiancé lol :w00t:

Absolutely!!! You spend every damn penny you can on yourself. You deserve it. Just think of it as making up for lost time. I even promised my husband I'd buy some trashy bras as long as they are to lacy and itchy. Now only if the scale would move down just one pound I'd have some hope of shopping soon.

I absolutely love that I need smaller clothes, but i'm not loving that it costs money to buy clothes!

Unfortunately for me, my job in cancer research pays poverty wages and I can't endulge in this shopping the way I want to!

I asked my husband for a James Avery charm bracelet for Christmas. We agreed for every 20 pounds lost, I would get a charm from him :thumbup: It will be a nice way to commemorate the journey for me.

My mom said when I went home from thanksgiving, she would buy me some clothing, I can't wait! It's hard to still pull off wearing clothing I wore 75 pounds ago! I'm looking baggy! :w00t:

I hear ya!

As I gained weight, fortunately, I never threw away my jeans. I've dropped 56 pounds and 3-4 sizes, depending on clothing, so I've been safe so far. However, another size or two and I'm in baggy city. I woke up this morning and all I had in my closet were 3X shirts and I'm getting to where 1X is big on me, lol, so I tossed on a 3X and I'm really grumpy about it, I look like I'm in a tent, seriously. So, this weekend, I've definitely got to get rid of all my 'big girl' shirts and get something that actually fits.

My mom wants us to go on a big shopping spree, but as of right now, I couldn't in good conscience do it, so I've got to hold her off for quite a bit longer.

BUT.... as much of a pain as this whole clothing debacle is, I wouldn't change it for the world!!! :w00t:

I'm looking a bit baggy too! Even though I've lost less than 10 kilos, my favourite pair of jeans are too big now! I'm a bit happy and a bit sad about it...Not quite sure what to think lol. :w00t:

GoodWill!!!!!!!! I'm not buying "real" clothes until I'm close to goal!!! I buy my black work slacks at Good Will because I know I won't be wearing them long!!!!!!! Of course, I just bought some skinny jeans because the style of jeans at Good Will are stuck in the 60s I think lol....
