Okay, so my first spunk is from a dress - does that count?
I want to look nice for Easter Sunday, right? I’ve lost 15 pounds in the last 7-8 weeks, so I thought for sure I could fit into that dress that was a little snug last spring. It’s one of my fave’s, and I was very excited about it fitting well.
I tried it on today, and …blech! I looked like I had thrown on a garbage bag! It will need to be taken in almost 10 INCHES before I can wear it properly. And even then, it is too wide on my shoulders. Add to that, not a single dress in my closet fits me!
It’s just 15 pounds! I notice it in my face and my shoes are falling off, but with my elastic pants and t-shirts, I had no clue that my body had changed.
What’s a girl to do?
Oy! Go shopping! And what a nice problem!! Congrats!!!

Its weird isn’t it. you really have to adjust your thinking. i have rediscovered some clothes that were too tight but I couldn’t quite bear to get rid of (fortunately as it turned out). Other things I am having to reluctantly realise are just too big. And its a bit sad isn’t it. We do get emotionaly attached to clothes. Shopping is hard too when you know your shape is changing and you don’t quite know where you will end up. You’re not sure how much to spend even if you have it.
So best of luck with the shopping. Hope you can find something to wear to carry you through till the next change.
