Feeling guilty



Recommended Posts

I feel guilty because I went to Dressbarn today with the intent to buy one shirt with my gift card from Christmas. Well, I walked out with a few more. I found 3 on the sale rack and the other 3 I paid full price for. They are all smaller sizes and I felt terrific trying them on. I'm sad to know they'll be too big in a few months and that I spent that money.

You deserve to have a few new things through every stage of weight loss! I am not going to wear my old clothes that look ridiculously big just because I haven't finished!! :)

You can donate them afterwards or I've had friends that have asked for things when I'm done!

I've been giving things away, but I just feel guilty about spending the money. I do know my confidence is up when I have on nice clothes that compliment me and my shrinking size. That feeling is amazing!

I feel the same way , I have lost 42 lbs went from a size 20 and 2 x , to a misses 18 and XL top ... so every time I go to the store i am happy to buy new things,,, but i have limited myself for the same reason ... I hate to spend so much when i dont know how long i will be able to wear it .... the thing that i have started to do , is to go to the thrift shops and if I find bottoms , I will buy some new tops or vise versa so that i can put together some outfits.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
