When you still have a little extra weight to lose you have to dress right for your body. For me, I love those little knit sweaters because it does not cling to my love handles. I always wear clothes are a little baggy to avoid showing off my mid-section. You deserve some new clothes. You just have to experiment to figure out what is best for your shape. Good luck!

Take a trusted friend with you to help you pick out clothes. I take my dil and our agreement is that I will try on whatever she picks. It really works for me. I also have hard time deciding if something fits. For so long, that has meant "is this big enough for me?" I sometimes need help fitting clothes.

I still wear some of my clothes that from before the weight loss journey. Hopefully by the end of the summer I will purge them. I just love the memories from the clothes and really don't want to spend a lot of money on in between clothes but the in between clothes will make anyone accountable for current weight. It should be noticeable if there is gaining in the clothes is what I mean.
