Question Query? might be a bit of a weird one for some :)

Is it weird that I feel fairly confident about my body with my clothes off but not so confident with my clothes on?

I think its because I'm really starting to see the difference when I look in the mirror but as soon as I put my clothes on all the good work is hidden! I mean I wouldn't go to the beach in a bikini just yet, but the potential for a bikini is definitely there as long as I keep up the hard work. Its probably because most of my clothes don't fit anymore and I can't afford to go out buying new ones until I've lost a significant amount of weight to justify it, unfortunately while my clothes are looser they still fit

Well fitting clothes make all the differance. While I was losing I bought clothes at Goodwill, Salvation Army and Savers. Cheap ! It takes some looking but you can get clothes that fit and don't cost much and you can redonate them when you are done with them.

If you can find bargain or thrift stores as bargoo mentioned you should be able to buy transition clothing fairly cheap. Plus if you think about it, all you really need for every day clothes to get you through is maybe 2 - 3 pairs of pants and 5 or 6 shirts max. You'd have to do laundry more often but you could also wear your old larger clothes if you're just around the house or at a friends house. I also think wearing a larger shirt but proper fitting pants is easier, so maybe start with just a pair or two of new pants.

Congrats on your success thus far!
