"vacation" clothes are TOO BIG

  • Originally when I set out, I had a box of "skinny" summer clothes that I wanted to fit by the time we leave on vacation (April 23) and for this summer. Last night I pulled out the box and tried everything on and most things are TOO BIG!! It was very exciting but also kind of an "uh-oh" moment because now I have to go shopping for clothes prior to our vacation when I didn't really budget for it (GULP). But that's OK. It's a good problem right? Thinking of heading to the local thrift store - I went there a few months ago and bought some really, really nice tops for about $3 each so I'm hoping I'll luck out there.

    This is very exciting and I'm just 6 lbs away from my goal weight. If I meet my original goal to lose around 2 lbs/week I may meet my goal of 159 by the time we leave, which is a bonus because I was really only hoping to reach this goal by summertime. Excited and looking forward to some quality time at the local thrift shop
  • wow! congratulations and good luck with finding better fitting clothes! another suggestion is, if you have any buy-sell-trade clothings stores that will buy you older clothes from you and give you money or store credit in return, it could be a life saver. that's what i'm planning on doing once i lose a bit more weight! = )
  • That is a great "problem" to have. Enjoy you vacation and your new clothes!
