Attachment to clothes....but why??

Ok, so now that I am finally losing this weight I totally can't fit into most of my clothes anymore....this is a good problem to have, I am NOT complaining. There is no way that I can afford to buy a new wardrobe at each dress size that I lose so I will have to make due with a few pieces at each size.  Oh my gosh, when I get to my goal weight though I am going on the biggest shopping spree!!!

So last night I was going thru my closet because me sister just got a new job that requires her to dress professinal on a daily basis....this is the first job with a dress code for her.  Well, she will fit into all my work clothes now that I won't be needing them....plus I haven't worked outside my home in almost 2 years so I really don't need them.  But as I was going thru them I felt sad to get rid of them for some reason....I don't know if it's because I spent so much money on all of them or because I still can't believe that I am actually losing weight and I think I might need them again....but I KNOW that I never want to wear that size again! I know I will get over it shortly, I was just kinda surprised at my feelings over clothes. 

It did make me feel better though when I decided to try on a few of the items in my closet and they were HUGE on me.  I showed my husband and we both just started laughing. It's a great feeling to see how far I hav already come!  (At the time that I wore these clothes I was 30lbs heavier than I am now.)  :p

Hope everyone is having a great Friday evening! 

Just a thought

Hey Jen!!!  It's me, Lisa G from Monday Club!  I found your page!!  I just wanted to throw this thought out to you on the whole clothes issue.  I don't know if you have Beall's stores out where you live, but I went to their outlet store to buy some "fat" clothes when I couldn't fit into my other "less fat" clothes.  I got 3 pairs of jeans for $9.99 a piece!  I got 4 outfits, 2 pairs of flip flops for my girls, a couple of ear muffs and one more thing  that I can't remember what it was for $54!!!  I tell you.  Look around and see if you have an outlet store of any kind near you.  You can find some great deals in there for name brand things!  Maybe that will help the pocket book along the way.

I'm fortunate enough that I'm 5'10", so the 20 pounds I've lost so far hasn't made that much of a difference yet in the clothes.  They are a little looser, but not falling off and I still have some of my "lesser fat" clothes in the closet, so I think I'll be alright for a little bit.  However, like you, when I get this 93 pounds off of me, I'm spending like a little fiend and buying all those clothes I've always wanted, but know a fat girl looks terrible in!  I also want a pair of leather chaps.  I don't know why, but I do.

I really wanted to come here and thank you so much for you continued support for me.  I have it hard, but people like you help me along the way, so thanks.  I feel as if I've met a true friend through Jenny!  Good luck and see ya at next week's weigh in!
