7 Months Post Op - The Cons - Drowning in clothes

So i am 7mths out and 105lbs down and i am really loving the way that i look BUT I feel hidden underneath all of these big clothes!! I went from a size 24 to a size 16w. My tops are a large. I am trying my best not to purchase clothes because in no time at all, they are too big for me too!! No kidding! I am trying to wait as long as i can before i buy clothes but i feel like i am drowning in clothes. I have a bunch of smaller sized pants (14-16) tucked away that i cant quite get into yet but no tops. So pretty much ive been buying clearance tops here and there because i know i wont fit in them long. Its such a blessing but geez louise! Its sooooooooooooooo worth it i swear but wearing clothes that are too big really has a way of making me feel unattractive. :( i know its all in my head :wacko:

I didn't start buying right away.....bc the season changed I wore a lot of the stuff from last yr but they definitely fit much looser.....i thought i was at a size 10 and bought an 8 just to encourage myself' date=' when I got home it fit so nicely....was totally shockeddde33....since then I stop buying....I definitely would do the consignment shops but when I start again, I'm buying my goal size which is a 4/6....I have an event to go in December and I'm renting my dress. I ordered it in a 6 so that's inspiration for me. You should buy one or two things one size smaller than you are right now bc it's inspirational nd you know it will eventually fit. Be careful if you are in a seasonal area like me.[/quote']

I was going thru sizes fairly quickly. In dec I was a sz 12 and by may I was a sz 6 and now I wear a sz 2 or 4
