First, I'm beginning, finally, to fit in normal sized clothes. Fortunately for the pocketbook, I'm still on the large size of normal sized and also forunately for the pocketbook, I know I'm only partway there.

But, to be able to wear the cute athletic clothes. To be able to see that I am getting my shape back, etc is so fun! I could go crazy! Where for years everything I tried on (or most things) jut depressed me. Now I'm thrilled to try on a shirt, or pants, or skirt and see that WOW! It looks good! I could buy up whole racks of clothes if there wasn't such thing as a budget.

I don't know how I'm going to rein myself in when I get to my goal weight. I'm going to be a mad woman! Already I'm thinking, "how will I deal with this?" I know me... I'll be nutso!

Today I went to REI and I wanted EVERYTHING of the cute athletic/outdoorsy clothes. I allowed myself two skorts, 3 athletic tops and a summer weight sweatshirt (as I have no athletic stuff and I have NOTHING for summer). I got them all on sale, but I put back like 4 other items I realllly wanted.

Am I the only one that terrible? And I'm still HEAVY!

Definitley, not the only one!

I am the SAME way!! I bought Skinny jeans and I want to trade all my trouser cuts for skinny jeans!

And the athletic clothes- same thing here, I want cute "yoga" pants that are fitting!! And most of my sports bras are too big! I just have to keep telling myself- wait- otherwise I might get comfortable!!

Glad you are seeing results and are happy with them! You go girl!

No, not the only one!! Go for it, and don't be afraid to go to thrift shops while you're still looking in order to cut costs a bit, especially since you're not at goal yet!

I've hit up our local thrift store and picked up a few things, but pickings are slim. But I keep looking! Got my yoga pants there.
