When I was gaining weight, every morning getting dressed for work brought one disappointment after another: clothes that were finally too tight to wear, and a wardrobe that was rapidly shrinking. I would get so depressed and frustrated as I tried on 4 or five outfits in order to find something respectable to wear.
I'm having the same problem now, but now I'm on the downside trend, not the up! But it's still a problem!
My weight loss on the scale has slowed up, but evidently the inches are coming off just as fast. I no longer go to the IP clinic: because I am broke I switched to alternatives. So I don;t get my measurements any more, or have my fat loss read.
I am a business banker, and have to dress "up". I've been replacing my wardrobe at Goodwill as I lose. I have chosen clothes that are too small at the time, knowing that I will fit into them later. I try them on two or three weeks later and they are hanging off me, and I can't wear them.
My wardrobe now consists of too many things that are too big for me to wear, a very few things that work, and several items that are still a size smaller and I can't wear them yet.
I have 18 more pounds to lose, and I really don;t want to go on a clothes buying spree now, even at Goodwill, because it's getting too pricey! So I have been rotating the same 3 pairs of slacks (blue, grey and black) with different blouses and jackets (that are also too big!) until I settle into my goal weight.
So now in the mornings I feel frustrated, because I find I still have to try 5 or six things on, eating up my "get ready" time in the mornings, and I run out the door just as stressed as I used to when I was at my heaviest!! I know this is temporary. I truly am grateful for my losses. It's just funny that I'm having the same problems as before, but for a different (and better!) reason!
Any one else where I am???
