 I was planning on attending a sorority alumnae event tomorrow morning, but I can't find anything that looks good. It's all either too big or too small. I should be happy that some of the stuff is too big, but I'm just focusing on how I haven't lost ENOUGH yet. I'm also still upset that my port flipped and I couldn't get my first fill (which I was excited about).

I just kind of want to hide in my big, comfy sweatpants and not go anywhere for the rest of the weekend...ESPECIALLY not the sorority alumnae event.

I understand your frustration, but you have lost A LOT of weight and you should be proud to show it off!  Enjoy this time...you know, the "small picture" things along the way of the "big picture."  Grab one of your too-big blouses and throw a cute wide stretchy belt around the waist with some leggings and cute sandals or heels.  I bet once you got ready in the morning, you would feel great about yourself!  Heck, go buy yourself something on sale at Kohls for the event and then return it (or exchange it for a smaller size in a few weeks lol).  You deserve to feel beautiful in spite of not yet being all the way to goal...try to enjoy the journey for what it's worth in the meantime. :)  Hugs...

I'm having the same problem. I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow. I am making myself nuts trying to find something that shows off my smaller size, but everything in my closet is screaming "chubby clothes." I know its a great problem to have. The other problem is that I still see myself 44 pounds heavier.

Good luck to you!

  Unfortunatly i too look in the mirror and see the same as before the weight. I just have to celebrate every pound that i loose and that the scale albeit every so slowly is going in the right direction.
Clothes is a hard thing. Try to use accessaries to change things up and the funkier and more colorful the better
