I'm a bad girl and weighed myself this morning even though my official weigh-in is supposed to be on Sunday night - I was doing the pant pull-up thing all day. I only did this because my work pants are starting to get a little baggy. I had bought a couple of pairs of work out pants last weekend in an 18/20 which I was very excited about considering a month ago I was barely able to squeeze into my size 24 jeans. I hadn't really thought about this when I started...but what am I going to do about clothes?
I feel so much better about everything except for the clothing situation. I'm a clothes horse...I admit it. I probably have enough clothes to go at least month straight without wearing the same thing twice, and regardless of my size I've always been complimented in how I dress. How do you handle dropping sizes without buying an entire wardrobe after every twenty pounds lost? Some of my clothes will be functional for awhile - I can belt or have my mother-in-law take some things in...but I don't want to look like a frumpy mess either - it kind of defeats the purpose of wanting to look and feel better.
I wish there was some kind of bartering program when I could trade clothes with others who were losing weight. I've never wanted to buy elastic anything...and fortunately I've never had to, but I'm thinking that might be my only option as I lose this weight. I don't know why this is bothering me so much - I always went out and bought clothes as I gained weight without much issue.
