Buying Clothes While Loosing Weight?

I was wondering where you have bought clothes while loosing weight? I went shopping the other day at Goodwill during there $.50 days, and found nothing not even a shirt that fit me right.. It's so hard knowing that if I buy something that cost more "regular jcpenny shopping trip" it will be to big for me within the month. Yes it might be worth it to have clothes that fit, but I can't seem to just let go and buy. I have already invested a lot of money into new bras so the clothes I feel if I can't get them for less then a $1 then I just don't need them.. Has anyone else gone through this? I am hitting yard sales this weekend so hopefully that will help with some clothes.. Thanks!!

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!
