I don't have a style anymore. I used to, I think. I used to shop at Limited and Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Gap, and Express. Those stores are still there, but I don't know if I like it anymore. I don't know what I like. It's very...hm, what's the word...I don't know, disconcerting.
What's wrong with this? I should be pumped, excited, happy! Instead, I just want to cry. It's like I've spent so much time NOT liking myself and the way I look, that contemplating what I like is almost too much. I'm thinking of sticking with jeans and button-downs because it's what I'm comfortable in.
Anyone else have this issue?
Stick with whatever makes you feel comfortable but try new things. It's the same for me. I've been so long with putting on what fits that I have no clue what's
cool. I thought I was the only one like this, make me feel a little better than I'm not. I went shopping the other day and tried on a few things but did not ask anyone for help.
This is my now plan: I'm going to find a nice normal size place with little to no clients, tell them I just lost xxx pounds and they need to put me in something that I'll like and that I'll look good in. In my mind, they will be happy and up for the challenge
. This is my plan, feel free to use it as you see fit.
CutieElie, I do beleive you are trying to self sabotage my friend! What do you think? I would know the symptoms, I've done it myself. My advice it so stop looking at the scale for a while (like 1 week! I know!) and follow protocol (to the letter Misses!). Once you are 2-3 pounds under the 200's you can resume to check the scale as often as you want. Stop sabotaging!! You can do this, we can all do this!
