On tuesday I was running late so just grabbed some old clothes off of a pile in my closet and threw them in my gym bag for later that day.  Got to the gym that afternoon and went to change into shorts....UGGGG they were too big, way too big.  I can almost fit both legs into one leg of the shorts !!!!!  I knew they wouild be big but I never dreamed they would be THIS big!!!   I guess I am still having issues with my changing body,  in my head i know im losing weight but i just have trouble with the notion that i need new clothes!!!   I still reach for the larger sizes.....LOL.    I did break down and buy some new work scrubs and a few other summer items to tide me over for a while.   I am down almost 70 pounds and hope to lose about more!!!!!

THis pic was me at work today with the oversized shorts .   Looking at this pic really helps put things (body image wise) into perspective for me

Those shorts and all your other big clothes need to hit the road to goodwill! You DEFINITELY don't need them anymore. YAY!

FANTASTIC!!!  Yes, you defnitely need new clothes - won't do to be flashing people at the gym when your pants fall down - LOL!!! It will take a while for you to bypass the big girls' clothes and go to the more 'normal' sizes, but you'll get there, and will feel wonderful about it. I've said it here before but I'll repeat it - TJ Maxx and Marshalls are great places to get decent clothes at discount prices until you're settled into a size that you think you'll be maintaining. I've gotten jeans at both places for $10! So get your smaller self out there and treat yourself to some new clothes - you deserve it!!

Congrats!  and definitely time to head to good will to donate your shorts!!!
mine were literally falling off when I walked up stairs, so I finally donated them last week.
