This is getting bad, lol

All my tops droop down so low, or fall off my shoulders and don't get me started about my pants, that are around my hips, lol  I can't do belts so I'm a glutton for punishment!  And bras?  Hmmm, must have thrown them all away, I have ONE!

This is sad.  But I need to milk them for awhile more until we get back on our feet, but it's crazy how they continue to fall off, lol

Just thought I'd share, I'm sure others are going through the same thing!

I know it sucks, especially when you don't have the cash to buy new clothes!

If you can get a few bucks together, try a thrift shop.

If you can find a fewbasic items like black pants, white dresss shirt, a skrit, a sweater, maybe even a dress...you can mix& match a few outfits. I've discovered that I can wear a dress a lot longer than pants when they get too big.  Good Luck!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

in pants I'll be close to 18 very soon... I'm currently dragging around in 20's, lol

And tops probably 16 or whatever the equivalent, I'm wearing a 18/20 and its ridiculous how big and baggy it is, lol

I don't have to wear fancy clothes to work, nor am I a fancy girl, lol  I wear dickies and a top to work and I'm fine, lol  Thankfully I don't have to get decked out, lol  I'm such a tomboy!  hee hee!

I have some 20's in jeans and some 18's available.  I have some polo shirts and maybe some sweatshirts if you're interested.  Send me your address and I'll ship what you want.  I wear a tall, but you could always tuck 'em up

If you are able.  Come join us for our monthly LB coffee. Everytime I have been there was lots of clothes to look through.  I donated 3 bags last time.  I am down to a size 14 now and even those are getting too big.  I am with you. I can't afford to go and buy new clothes yet.  Just to "undergrow" them in 2 weeks.  Hang in there.  I know it's a GREAT thing losing the weight, but it is hard when $$ is tight.  Monica P had a great idea too.  I actually bought a pair of work pants (liz clayborn dress pants) size 16 at a thrift store for about $3. 

Good Luck

Have you tried freecycle.com?  They are always listing clohting and you can also post that you want them.  They will all be from your area so you won't have to drive far.   Good luck to you.

IF you are coming to Tom's Farm there will be a clothing exchange.  I got a ton of nice clothes last year.  They don't cost you a penny, it's just a matter of getting the clothes you like.  I am bringing some clothes that I can no longer wear and within the last two years, I have given away probably close to 20 bags of clothes easily.  If one of your friends is coming and you're not have them look for some clothes for you.  I got some very nice things last time at Tom's

Hope to see you there,
