I went through this about 10 years ago when I lost 101.5 pounds. I gave away all of my fat clothes to Goodwill and had a blast shopping at regular places other than the expensive Big & Tall shop once again. But, over the last decade I put nearly all of that weight back on. Now, with the recent "episode" I went through, the weight is coming off once again. I'm down nearly 40 pounds since late October and starting to go through all of my stuff once again.
The problem I'm having is two fold. First, and not really all that much of a problem.... is I can no longer wear some of the really nice stuff I've bought through the years. I'm kind of the Imelda Marcos of nice Hawaian shirts. Some of these, I paid a fortune for. I can't really take them to be altered because I plan to lose at least as much weight as I did before and there is just no way to take that much out of a shirt (or pants for that matter). So, I guess I'm giving a bunch of nice stuff away once again. Sigh.... :hissyfit:
But the real problem I'm facing.... is while I'm finding some stuff to wear right now at my current weight.... I don't have a thing that's nice. And, since I'm feeling so much better and in need of finding a job, I'm going to have to go shopping I guess for something nice that fits now. The thing is, I don't plan on whatever I buy fitting for very much longer either. I ran across some nice things left over from my "skinny'er" days, but no way does it fit yet. So I guess, it's back to needing to buy some more new stuff to tide me over. I just hate buying/wearing cheap/crappy clothes. :dizzy:
Sorry.... just wanted to rant a little bit. Going through all of these clothes is so damn depressing and makes me want a cigarette. :fryingpan:
