The clue to try them was the 10's I been wearing are falling down as I walk. I posted the new picture for you to check it out.
I love this thread! Congrats Darbs, you look great! I need to figure out how to get a photo of me up here. Sooo techy challenged.
Here is my deal on clothing. Prior to IP, my good friend, who is much taller than me and has much better fashion sense, gave me a bunch of her barely worn clothes (sizes 8-10). I had them tailored to fit in length, but they were still a bit snug. Throughout IP, I began to wear the clothes without problem. Now, they simply fall off. Literally, if I put them on, buttoned, they slip off my hips. I had nothing to wear to work (I had some smaller jeans from a healthier time in my life, but no work clothes.) I did an emergency run to an outlet (Bealls, for all you FL folks) and picked up two pairs of size six dress pants ($10 each, TYVM) and I am set for now. Pleased as punch that the size 6 works well, looks great, etc.
Here is my dilemma. I have my other clothes in a neat pile, in fact, I am looking at them now, and I just can’t seem to give them away. How twisted is my brain? I have even tried them on a few times to convince myself that they no longer fit. That pile is overwhelming, and I can’t get myself to even bag them up and put them in the garage. Is it because I am afraid I’ll put the weight back on once I phase off IP? Is it because I still see myself as fat? Or am I just a loon?
