My new pants are falling off!!
No fair. My brand new jeans in my new size are already falling off! Really! I wore them ONCE, and washed them once. They should have tightened after washing, but NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! At this rate, I am buying new clothes every three to four weeks! The underwear is especially bad about falling off before I get the price tags off! Anyone else having this problem? I 'm not complaining,...o.k....yes I am!!! I can't afford to keep myself clothed! I even went through my mom's closet and borrowed from her! YIKES!!
Isn't it amazing how with the smaller we get the change in size is much more pronounced with just losing a few pounds? I remember being so discouraged the first three months because very few people noticed or bothered to comment on my weight loss. Even though the scale was going down quickly, outwardly it didn't show a whole lot.

Hi Lou Ann, Sorry to hear about your problem, not that its all that bad of a problem. I know it stinks to buy an outfit and only get to wear it once.
I started out as a 24 in size and have been able to shop in my moms and sisters closets for size 20, 18, and 16's, I went to Good Will to get my 14's and to the mall for my 12's (probably go back to good will). I got the 12's at the mall because I had to school clothes shop for 3 kids and did a little for myself at the same time. I dont have a job that I have to dress up for so all I really need are workout clothes and a few other outfits and I'm just fine.
Congrats on another size down

LOL... OK am I totally evil for keeping the tags on all the items that I buy just so I can take them back in a week if they no longer fit and I have never worn them?
CONFESSION: I did take back two pairs of jeans once that I had bought, worn once, cleaned and when I put them on a week later they did not fit.... so I took 'em back to walmart (still had the receipt) and exchanged them for a smaller size. Yes... I know, bad girl, bad girl.. but that month I dropped two sizes and I didn't know what to do.. I panicked!
Now I take all of my clothes to a resale shop and try to make some money off of them. I have noticed that the smaller I get the faster I go through sizes, it is nuts!
Brightest Blessings for a Wonderful Day~
