Whoo weee. I am 2 pounds from goal, so have been splurging on some much needed new clothes, nothing fancy, just the essentials for a SAHM.

I was careful not to spend too much money on the way down the scale, but know each and every penny I did spend was really a waste. Because I didn't wear it for long.

Now at goal (almost)......wow! All I can say is save your money folks.

Ladies, I waited too long to go shopping in my closet. I realized that my 18WPs were getting way too baggy (I try to wear them as long as possible), and I had four pairs of 16WPs in my closet from my last unsuccessful diet that I hadn't even taken the tags off of. Went to try them on. Some of them are okay, slightly baggier than I prefer, but wearable. A couple of the others are just barely wearable. I mean, we're talking saggy-ass, pull them up to my breasts, BIG. I don't think I can wear them. Awesome, but irritating, since they've NEVER BEEN WORN. I'm really going to have to start up with Ebay, I think. I've got the two pairs of 16WPs (soon to be more, hopefully), a pair of 18WPs that are barely worn, a pair of 20WPs that are barely worn, etc. After these get too big (I LOVE saying that, btw), I'll HAVE to go shopping, since I haven't been smaller than a 16W for years.

Hell, I need to go get some Spanx. Maybe I can go down another size!

I have some very nice clothes, but all too big. I wore them as long as I could but just can't anymore. My boss mentioned that I need to buy clothes, so I had to bite the bullet to get a couple of outfits. I only bought one dress pants (black) and one casual with few tops to mix and match. Great sales on now but I have to resist- who knows what size I'll be later.

There is nothing like walking past plus size stores- no more, no more, no more shopping in them

That's what I can't wait for. One more size, maybe 1/2 size! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
