Buying Clothes While Loosing Weight?



Recommended Posts

YAY!! I'm soooo happy right now.. I just went to a few yard sales and walked away with 4 pairs of pants for $2.00 yep $2.00 can you believe that, and what's better is I'm hitting more sales tomorrow. I bought 2 pair that are a size to small for me but hey for $.50 who cares I will be wearing them soon enough. Now if I could find some shoes that cheap. LoL I never knew loosing weight would cause you to loose a shoe size. I've gone from a size 11 to a size 10 and it's like no one out there sales there shoes if they are larger then a size 8-9.. LoL I'm sooooo Happy I think I might Celebrate with an Atkins Sweet and Salty Bar..

I can not wait until yard sale season! I won't be finished with my 6 month fat camp until June and I'm sure that it will take a while for me to get going after that but I am going to start shopping as soon as yard sale season starts. The way I figure it, I can spend 50¢ or $1 on something I like and even if I only wear it once it'll be worth it. Talk about fueling optimism! Knowing that I can buy a smaller size and eventually fit into it will be a huge incentive! Plus, that way I can spend money on clothes before I'm sinking all of my 'excess' funds into Protein Drinks. :) It won't be long now!

I am totally running into issues with this because I am starting work again so I have to buy nice clothes! I've been trying for clearance but haven't found a lot. I don't shop thrift shops even though I know I would be saving a lot of money :( I was very lucky that the friend I just moved in with still have a range of sizes in jeans from her WLS and she was in 16s for one of her longer times and I'm right around a 16-14 right now so some of them fit so now I have jeans!!

I love leggings and you can get them pretty cheap, I think they look nice with bigger shirts and with nicer weather flats or sandals. Also you can just put on your sneakers and go for a walk, which I am going to start doing tomorrow.

I went to the mall today and, for the first time in a decade, bought clothes from the regular side of the store off the rack. Granted, it is a size 18, but it isn't an 18W and I didn't have to order off the Internet. I spent more than I should have, but the feeling from shopping like a regular person was priceless!

I have the same issue. I don't want to spend money on something that I will only wear a month. Luckily for now, I have a few things to wear now since I used to buy clothes a size or two smaller to try and motivate myself to lose weight. Those are getting baggy now though. It is such a great thing, yet such a difficult thing to deal with!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
