    Frustrated and Happy at the same time

    Well my 26/28 clothes are falling off of me.. Literally.. My capris fall below my belly.. I hate to wear a belt cause it rubs my skin since I don't tuck shirts in.. So I decided to go through my closet and find what fits me and go through a bag of shorts that I had too..

    So as I go through the bags.. I have NO 24s.. I must have skipped that size.. I have lots of 22s.. The nice thing is.. I can get them on.. I just can't wear them out of the house..lol

    So while I am happy that I am getting into a smaller size.. I am frustrated that I am about to have to go naked..lol

    On a good note.. I found some stretchy shorts that I can wear to the gym since the one pair I have I have to double over on the waist for them to stay on..

      YAY Sandy!! I just made it through a few weeks like that. I had thrown out ALL my larger size clothing in a fit of rage and aggravation that I let myself gain that weight and bought myself a bunch of new clothes in smaller sizes. However, I bought all the new stuff tight so I wouldn't have to rebuy once I get to goal. Problem was I didn't leave myself anything that was decent looking enough to wear out in public lol! So I made it through with one pair of shorts that fit in the waist and looked good with my new tops. Now I'm very close to being able to wear all my new stuff - so hang in there, you'll be in those 22's before you know it!

          I hear ya! I am having SO MUCH FUN shopping Sandy, I can't wait till you get to also!! However most of it I still have that stomach and back fat that I don't feel comfy wearing it all out in public yet. Soon, very soon!!

          Just find yourself a basic pant or two that will work and rotate your shirts with them and soon you will be able to ditch those too! I'm about to dump my "safety" shorts although they have been with me for SEVEN years and I don't know if I can get rid of them entirely......

              yea sandy......really stinks when you gotta run 'round nekked cuz the clothes won't stay up! it's a live/hate thing isn't it? you LOVE that you are shrinking but hate being nekkid! i agree with skinny......don't get lots of new stuff because you are NOT going to need it for long...just a couple of basic things....inexpensive, and before you know it, you'll be passing THOSE along to someone else and shopping again. you are really doing great. i am so proud of the way you encourage others and work the plan....great attitude!

                Sandy it's so much fun "shopping" in your own closet isn't it??? LOL

                Just keep sticking to your guns like you have been and I would imagine in just a few short weeks you'll be in those 22's. Once the weight really starts coming off, it's a whirlwind!! Hang on for the ride!!!

                  Sandy, that's the best "bad" news I've ever heard! You are absolutely melting away, and like the others have said, I bet those 22s are closer than you think! It's an excellent problem to have though, isn't it? Your clothes are TOO BIG! I have a rule--I can't buy ANYTHING unless it's on sale! I have no idea how long I'll stay in a certain size, or if my body shape will change again, or even what my goal size is (either 6 or AND my sizes are all over the place, depending on where I shop.

                  So I make sure to try everything on, and I've been buying things that fit perfectly now IF I will be able to wear them when they get bigger (like shorts that I can wear on my waist now, but will be able to wear on my hips later) or I will buy things that "fit" but I can't wear in public. Just buy a couple pieces to "hold you over" until you get to the 22s, which will be SOON!

                      Congratulations, Sandy!
                      I went to Walmart and bought a new skirt and pair of pants-$7 each. It's great to buy a new size, but I didn't want to buy much. You ought to be so proud of yourself! You've done so well and been an inspiration to everyone. Keep up the good work and we'll see you in Onederland before you know it. 22 pounds gone, that's so great! That's about a bag of dog food. Imagine carrying that around all day and understand why you're not as tired!
                      Our town has a couple of re-sale stores. They come in handy to buy something nice that's inexpensive, then you can sell it back when you shrink out of it.
                      Again, we're so proud of you!

                        Hi Sandy,
                        I just looked at our weight loss goals and they are almost the same. And coincidentally I'm in the same boat as you! I'm tight in the next size down, but my tops all look too big right now....I'll take it! Wearing those big clothes makes me feel like I'm really progressing! (if it weren't for my recent binge LOL) Can't wait til the tight next size are falling off me!

                          I am thinking about this getting thinner phrase we are all going through. Some years ago the wrap around skirt and shorts were common. I wonder where they are now? I guess one could sew it, it is really easy.

                          I am thinking of the saris of the Indian ladies. It is one long material that is folded and tucked into a slip-type thing. I remember wearing one one summer and almost tripping over it because it was so long and then losing the top of it because of the wind etc. I really admire the Indian women who wear them.

                            Thanks everyone.. You know I think people aren't noticing the weightloss cause my clothes are too baggy.. I bet when I get into the next size and they fit it will be noticed..
