But shopping, I havent done much of that yet because I have a closet full of smaller clothes that I have kept. I did buy 2 things on clearance in a size just below what I am now. I can't wait to lose enough to get into those clothes, they are so cute!
I hated shopping for clothes as it was and is so depressing. If I dont look at tags, I constantly choose clothing that I "think" will fit but end up being 2-3 sizes too small. My view of myself is distorted as inside I don;t believe that I am as big as I am. Then I look in the mirror or see a picture that someone managed to get of me (I hate my picture being taken) and I am shocked at what I see because that is not how I see myself.
As of today I am officially 3 sizes smaller! YEAH! when I started I had 4 bags of clothing that were too small. 3 weeks into it I took them all out and organized them by size. I had 3 different sizes that were too small. I labeled each bag on the outside with the size. As time went on and I went down in size I would put the fattys in a bag and take it to Goodwill and then pull out the smaller stuff. This weekend I finally emptied the last bag of "too small" stuff. Now it has become a pleasure to get rid of clothing. I treated myself to a pair of skinny jeans just to celebrate.
