ange- You summed it up...nightmare!!! I started out at a tight 14 and now wear a 2/4. I wore my 14s until I could fit into 10s. I thought I'd be there for a while, so I bought a few pairs of capris/shorts, etc. Next month I was an 8. I didn't want to keep buying full-price, so I shopped Goodwill, friends' closets and Wal-Mart...looking for stuff just to hold me over. When I got to a 6, I thought, "Hot dang! There is no way I'll ever be smaller than a six!" So I bought almost a whole wardrobe in that size.
Sigh...totally my fault! I took back anything that still had tags, but I am now the proud owner of several pairs of $50 jeans that have been worn 3-4 times. I've always only donated to Goodwill, but i feel that this time it is okay to try to sell them online or something. I can't just throw money away, which is EXACTLY what it feels like I am doing. When I hit a 4, I thought, "Surely, SURELY, i will never be a 2!" And yet I just bought some.
I still want to lose 5 pounds, so I just have no idea where I'll be. Still in the 2/4 range, I bet. I bought some M fall-weather shirts over the summer, and now regret that, too. It is almost unfathomable to picture yourself jumping so many sizes, but i did in less than 6 months. Don't even get me started on bras....Victoria Secret must think I am a sucker buying such nice bras and then turning around and doing it all over again.
BUT....I feel great now and like the way I look, so I don't WANT to wear ill-fitting clothes. Hubby thankfully understands and if I do get smaller than I am now, then I 'll just keep adjusting.
PS. I just put up my GOAL pics! I passed 133, which was my original goal. Link is in my siggy.
