Smaller Clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kyteachjules

I was wearing a size 26 pair of jeans in December, I bought 20s yesterday and they fit rather loosely. I could have gotten the 18s, but was too scared of moving down to that number!!!! I think I might go back and get the 18s and 16s to give me a goal!! :) WOOHOO

I had that exact same experience... only my mom was with me. I said.. Mom, I don't think my pants fit right... I think they are too big. She came in the room with me... and I ended up having to get a size 16 (mind you... I hadn't bought any clothes that were smaller than at 22) I did not expect to be in a 16... now I'm getting size 12! It's crazy. BUT, one thing I will tell you.... DON'T buy too many clothes in a smaller size just because it's thrilling. I have so many pants in size 16 becaue I went over board. Get just what you NEED. Try to find clothes that are a little tight, and have elastic bands. You will thank me when you are no longer in them, and still have money for the next size down!

When I was loosing, I loved to get one new outfit a month, to help keep me on the right track. Now that I have had my first set of complications (and am gaining weight) I am in a size that I have no clothes for cause I gave them to my friends that were the same size as I was. But I am scheduled to have my band fixed (soon I hope) so I can get back to my 18's... (I started in a 34).

We are getting ready to start a support group in my town and I am going to try to start a clothing exchange along with that. I know I have a load of professional type clothes that I will be moving back into and probably out of pretty quickly that I would hate to just get rid of. I think (hope) a lot of people could benefit from it.

Our support group has the clothing exchange. It is nice to get a new outfit or two. If u don't have alot of money to shop for clothes u can always go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army to get slothes while u are "Shrinking". That will save u some money till u get to a size that u want to but a wider wardrobe in. Just an idea for ya all
