QOTD: 3/27/04: Clothes Shopping

[TracyD]

How do you feel about shopping for clothes? Has that changed since being on program?

I haven't really gone down in size yet, so I still find clothes shopping to be an experience I'd rather avoid! On the other hand, the size I'm in now is comfortable/fairly loose, instead of too snug/creeping towards tight!!

(Also, I apologize for not posting the QOTD yesterday, but I was sick with the stomach bug my little guy had.) tongue.gif

I've turned into the ultimate clothes horse...they don't make a jean with a rise low enough for me, and I"ve re-discovered how much I love pink!

I've also developed a love for all things designer, which has turned into quite the expensive and nasty habit. Discount stores like DSW & Loehmanns are my friend :D

All in all, I've done a complete 360 degree turn from the way I used to be in regards to clothes. Who knew I had such an affinity for faishon?

Tracy, I hope Thomas is feeling better. Stomach flus are the worst! (Midnight laundry! :eek: :mad: graemlins/ugh.gif )

I am a shop-a-holic, as always, but now I am buying actual clothes instead of purses. My latest obsession is yoga pants and little t-shirts, now that my belly has deflated enough to look respectable in this type of garb!

I hate shopping. I lost the weight but I didn't grow!!! graemlins/ugh.gif

Now that I fit into regular sizes I don't mind clothes shopping as much as I used to. However, I'd much rather go shopping at a book store, quilt shop, or yarn shop any day. I find books and other things far more interesting than clothes and shoes.

I used to never understand why most women loved to shop as I have lost my weight and am down into normal sizes I have found that I love to shop. I don't know if that will fade same as the nolvity of being able to go into any store wears off. When I shop with my best friend and we go to Lane Bryant I think to myself I got believe I don't shop here anymore. I still usually don't buy form department stores because I am still losing(I buy at Goodwill) but I love to go try clothes on it keeps me motivated. I can't wait to go on a shoping spree when I hit goal.

I don't do a lot of shopping as I don't work fulltime and don't feel I need too. I enjoy buying clothes sometimes. I can get into some petites now and, of course, they are shorter too, i.e. pants. Don't have to bother to shorten them either,which gets expensive.

I've gone from a 44 to a loose 14 in pants right now.

I have been loving shopping. It is hard to look at clothes that are a normal size and think I can fit in them. Right now it is a little difficult. I am in between sizes, have nothing to wear and don't want to spend money for the larger size when I know that 5-7 more pounds and I will fit perfectly in the smaller size!

I love shopping, I really don't like to try clothes on. In my minds eye, I am still a twenty-something, hard-body girl. The mirrors do not reflect that image.

I'm hoping as I go farther along in my program, my mind's eye and the mirror can compromise!

Still don't like to shop, even though I now fit into normal sizes. Don't get me wrong I love it. I don't shop, I BUY that's the only time I go.

Before WW's and losing 42lbs clothes shopping was like some form of TORTURE for me.
I remember many a time winding up in a change room on the floor in tears from utter frustration and HATE for myself.

Now that I have lost that weight and reduced in clothes sizes, I feel alot more confident about clothes shopping. :D

I don't like to shop for anything, specially clothes. I can't stand trying them on.

I just started my journey. Though I don't think I will ever like to shop. We will have to wait and see if that changes when I can shop in regular sizes.
