I found a downside to weight loss...

When you can wear regular sizes you have too many choices when shopping for clothes!!  I just needed some plain black dress pants.  I am used to having 2 choices- 1)take it or 2)leave it!!  Now, even at my small Penney store, I had to try on 10+ pair of pants to see what fits.  I was sweating like a pig!  I think the abundance of choices will confuse me!  I did discover that depending on cut and brand I can wear a regular size 16 or 18!  Amazing!

And, I was able to buy clothes at Sam's today!  Wow!

Denise, I am beginning to love shopping...yesterday I shopped a Ross for the first in my life! For me it's just cool not to be restricted to going to Lane Bryant or Avenue only!

Girls, it sounds like we are heading for a serious transfer addiction here. LOL. Clothes have never been a priority for me because I just hated to go to the beached whale store to buy them. Oh my, I may need to get a second job if I ever start clothes shopping.

My brother used to tease about getting my  clothes at the tent and awning shop -- jerk !   The only thing I  can say about buying new clothes is, watch out, you can't wear them too long, so don't do a lot of investing and buy them snug !!

Love it. Take it or leave it.  I know all about those choices.

I spell relief s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g LOL.  I love to shop, but know my monetary limitations, thankfully.  I just love having all these choices being a 4/6 and not a 24/26.  My poor husband actually goes shopping with me, if you can believe that.  He's a good sport about things.

IF THAT IS THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO WEIGHT LOSS THAT YOU HAVE FOUND I AM READY FOR IT!! I CAN'T WAIT TIL I CAN GO SHOPPING. I HTINK IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF MONEY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I AM SITLL LOSING. SLOWLY BUT SURELY I AM STILL LOSING. I WENT TO THE GOODWILL STORE THE OTHER DAY TO KILL SOME TIME AND FOUND MYSELF TRYING ON JEANS. STILL IN THE 20'S ON SIZES THOUGH SO I DIDN'T BUY THEM YET. I AM GONNA STOP WEARING MY UNIFORM TO WORK NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THE SHIRT AND PANTS ARE ALMOST FALLING OFF OF ME. I HAVE A PAIR OF 24'S THAT I AM WEARING NOW WITHOUT ELASTIC IN THE WAIST BAND EVEN AND I CAN PULL THEM OFF WITHOUT UNBUTTONING THEM. MY GUYS ARE ALMOST GETTING A FREE PEEP SHOW BECAUSE I AM SO PROUD THAT I PULL IT DOWN FOR EVERYONE!! NOT ALL THE WAY DOWN MIND YOU BUT FAR ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GET MY MEANING. HAHAHA!!

Lots of shopping and lots of choices is a down side?  Hmmmm...!  I can deal with it! 

Me too! Since I emptied out my closet yesterday I decided to do some shopping today for some pants 1 size down from what I am wearing now. I did not want to spend a lot so I went to my favorite thrift store. I got 2 pairs of jeans, 4 pairs of dress pants, 2 shirts for the girls, and 4 Nancy Drew books and spent $18!

Ok, can't relate.  Absolutely hate shopping -- for anything!  Get in, buy something real quick, get out.  Now that's shopping.  No trying on 500 billion things, and just looking at twice that many.  I really hate it when I somehow get stuck going shopping with my wife. But that is nothing compared to my 17 yr old daughter.   Had to buy my daughter a dress for my neice's wedding in OKC and we walked the mall 10 times, looking at every piece of clothing in the whole mall -- twice.  OMG!!!  Will never, ever, ever, never, ever take my baby shopping again.  Talk about a shopping diva.    Michael.
