OT: Not being able to buy clothes is killing me!

I have been buying used from ebay and good will.  I was also lucky to get some hand me downs from my mom and aunt.  I also have to admit I have bought new.  I even hit up my 12 yo daughter's closet for her hoodies.  I can't wait for rummage sale season to start to stock up on some clothes in different sizes.  Most of the time those prices are even better than good will.  Jimi

I totally understand.  That is how its been for me the last several months.  And realizing there is no point in even looking in the stores I normally shop cuz i will NEVER be there again.  I see no reason to buy too much until i'm down to my goal if I can finagle that so hopefully by summer I will be getting new clothes again. Woo hoo!!!  Hang in there!

Born - I see you are from Lansing too what Dr are you giong through? I'm going through minimally invasive w/ Dr Lane and Dr Richardson the two women.

 Thats where my love of Salvation Army comes in handy.  I keep buying cute clothes that are too small so I can lose enough (pre-op diet) to fit in them.  Cheap and I look for labels and it doesn't matter much if I outgrow them, I can just re-donate them!

I'm new and my name is Kim........hi everyone!

waiting for my six month insurance process.  Only 3 more months to go!

I WAS a Fashion Bug FREAK!  I would go at least once a month and buy clothes!  They closed ours about two years ago so we have to drive about an hour away now.

I am almost three months out, down 71 pounds from my heaviest and almost 50 since my surgery.  I just posted on ReUseIt for my 26-28 and 30/32 clothes.  I bought three pairs of 22 and one pair of 18-20 pants and a 3X sweater at Goodwill on the 50% off day for $9!  What a way to go!  I bought 3 pair of 20s at SA but I am not quite ready for them. 

I wore a 4-5X shirt and now in 3X.  Feels awesome to think think that I am now littlier than I have been in over 5 years!  Everyone I talked to said do thrift shops, GW or SA because you will be changing sizes every month or so. 

I am keeping ONE pair or pants and ONE shirt of the big size so I can do the Biggest Loser clothes drop.
