Depressed in a good way!!!

Hi to all, I am sorry that I have not posted to many posts this week. I had the crud and still have felt yucky. I started feeling better on Monday so I never did go to the doctor. I am still worn out and after work and running I just came home and hit the hay. I still have a bit of a cough but I am doing better. It took a good week to get over this bug, I sure hope you all don't get it. Well, Thursday I decided to go through my closet. I wanted to wear something different to work Friday. I had to take my son to the doctor and Friday was my last day on this job. Just had the so call need to dress in something besides jeans. Well, I went through my closet all excited because I knew I had a bunch of capris and spring clothes that have been way to tight. I just knew I had a good wardrobe for this spring. Got the first pair of a capris down, tried them on and they were to big. On to the next, and so on. Each pair were to big. I had a super cute pair that I knew would fit, tried them on it the shirt that matched. They worked, I was excited until my daughter came in and said your outfit is way to baggy, I hope you don't plan on wearing that anywhere. Ok so Miss fashion critic is telling me this looks bad....I had six pairs of capris that I thought would fit and not one pair does. On to trying other things on, nothing is fitting. Ok, I am now depressed, but in a good way. I kept going through my closet, way to many things in there but nothing is working. A little over a year ago I cleaned out my closet and gave Goodwill all of my clothes, that I thought I would never get into...sure wish I had them back now. Oh well, guess I will need to go shopping for myself. I did find something real cute to wear yesterday, it was a spring outfit, a pair of capris and mathching shirt. The pants were baggy but not to bad, the top fit but was a little tight around the chest. I have really in a way been lucky, my boobs have not deflatted yet. I've lost very little in that area. Maybe they will be the last to go.....or maybe they won't go at all. I wish... Well, enough of my ramblings..... Happy Saturday to all..... Jodi

Good for you Jodi!! I can't wait til I can go thru my closet...heck, I can't wait til I can just buy new clothes! Sorry you have been sick...it's probably the pollen. Everyone I know is sneezing and coughing from all the green stuff. Feel better soon!

Hi Marcie, I was going to email you last night but my son was on my computer all night, gave up and went to bed. Sorry!!! How was the EGD yesterday? I hope all was well. You are on the count down girl.... I think alot of my problems were pollen. Man it has been thick!!!! I just need to get a prescription of Zyrtec or Allegra D and I'll be fine. Well, a little piece of advice, don't buy a lot of clothes. I bought a pair of pants a little over two weeks ago and they are to big now. I wear the same pair of jeans, I want to save my money for the final clothes. Have a good day and I will be in touch.... Jodi

hi jodi..... yes i guess that was a good feeling in a way. just a suggestion for those capris that are just a lil big.... do you know someone who does alterations? maybe you could take those up a lil bit in the waist and get a couple months use out of them. i can't wait till i can start wearing things that are now too small... geeeee, i hope i get thru the surgery first... ha-ha.. my surgery is May 1 which im sure you have seen already. when i first started getting on this site it was not a big deal to me. now im hooked and while im at work, every hour im pulling up this site to see whats going on with everyone...... take care..... Kateri

I figured it would cost about as much in alterations as it would to buy some new ones. The pair I wore yesterday I will try to have altered. They were not cheap so I don't mind spending the money on them. The capris are so big in the waist, butt, and thighs. They would almost have to remake them. Your surgery date will be here before you know it. I know what you mean about being hooked, I am too. My husbands says I am addicted to my computer. I bet he wishes now that he had not bought me a laptop. HA HA!!! Take care need to get up and dry my hair and go to the cleaners. Have a good weekend. Jodi

hi jodi, hope you start feeling better, sorry you going through all your clothes, but that is good, i know the feeling, im trying not to buy alot either , its a waste of $ since we are still losing. rhonda

Hi Rhonda, I am really feeling so much better, I'm just playing catch up now. Would not wish that on my worst enemy. It really is foolish to buy much right now as fast as we are losing. Now if I have something special to go to I will go ahead and buy something but just for everyday I'll stick with my good ole' jeans. I'd rather save my money and get me some good looking clothes when I am at goal. Gosh Rhonda, we will be there before you know it. Can't wait!!!! Have a good evening, are you guys getting a lot of rain. It has been raining all day here. Take care, Jodi

jodi, thats awesome things are too big to get into ,, I know the feeling though I have sooooooooo many clothes in my closet in sooo many sizes and I was looking through them the other day and I have alot of cute clothes in size 22 that are winter clothes and since its almost summer and I am almost in the 22 I won't be able to wear them,, I was disapointed but then I was like wait wait, Its excited but my problem is letting go of my "comfort jacket" I have this jacket I always wear to cover my fat , or what I think is covering my fat,, and I just can't seem to let go of it. good luck,,

Hi Ashleigh, It is good to see you posting, hope you are doing better. It was so good taking those clothes to Goodwill, I know what you mean aobut the comfort clothes. My sweatshirt was one of them. Today is the first day since before my surgery that I have worn my sweatshirt. The only reason is because it is so freaking cold out.....Glad I didn't get rid of it, but then again I have not gone anywhere today and if I did I would have worn something else, cuz I care more now. You will get to the point of wanting to let go, it was rather easy this time. Take it easy Ashleigh, you have been through alot lately. Jodi

Jodi...I look forward to the WOW moments...sounds like the closet search would be considered one..I can't wait for that! Have you changed 1 or 2 or 3 sizes..?? Proud of you, keep it up! Hope the 'crud' is gone now..Vintagedeb
