Too little closet/dresser space. You would think with smaller clothes I would have MORE space - but noooo . I have never owned this many items of clothing ... I now own 4 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of cords, one coloured skinny pants, 2 dress pants, at least 8 pairs of yoga pants, about 4 pairs of yoga capris , 3 dresses, a bunch of tights to wear with those dresses, at least 15 tshirts, a dozen fancier tshirts( for lack of better word- like 1/2 way between tshirt and dress shirt) 5 sweaters, 4 bathing suits ( various sizes) never mind underwear, tanks, shape wear, etc. doesn't help that clothes are much cheaper now . I went to reitmans today and bought 3 pairs of

Oops pressed send too fast. I bought 3 pairs of pants ( tall woohoo in 11's and 13's) for less than 40 bucks for all three after tax . It's insane and indeed to stop. At least one of the benefits of maintaining is I can buy at this size a d actually wear them for awhile ( odds are I will not go down more than a size now with 20 ish lbs to go)

That sounds so exciting!  I can't wait to have that problem!  Well, hopefully I won't go too crazy but it'll sure be nice to buy cheaper clothes instead of the usual $50 or $60 jeans and $25 t-shirts.  It also must really be incentive to keep going!  Way to go!

It's incredible being able to buy clothes pretty much anywhere . And they are wayyyyy cheaper. I used to spend way more on a pair of jeans . Now I tend to spend about 15 compared to 50 before. My dress for my Xmas party this year was 18 bucks at Walmart compared to 80 at penningtons last year. I wore that dress once- this one I've worn 3 times already. So much more selection. I tend to spot something a lot more easily as opposed to searching and dreading shopping knowing I won't find exactly what I was looking for specific events.

Yup I agree..clothes are cheaper now and so much more selection! Actually being able to CHOOSE is nice rather than just grab what fits and looks decent enough..so awful.
