I don't have squat to wear anymore....

Oh no, it has finally happened!!!! I officially don't have anything that fits anymore! I feel so confused, I should be happy because this means I've lost alot of weight but I'm also sad because I don't have any money to go buy new clothes! I hope to return to work soon, so I got up this morning and started trying on all my work clothes and I look like an umpha loompa in them all !!! I thought I had more time, I've been wearing jeans and a tee-shirt for the past 4 months so I didn't really notice a ton of weight loss but all my business clothes are 22,20, and 18's. They are all too big, I can pull the 18's up to right under my bra and my butt looks like someone has let the air out of it. I don't even know what size I wear right now?!? Ha, who would have thought 4 months ago that I would ever have this type of problem? I've had to sew pants back together because they were literally bursting out at the seams but I've never had to think about trying to have them taken in so that I can wear them. Wait, I can't even do that, I don't have a sewing machine! Ok, this too shall pass but WOW was this a WOW moment or what? P.S 196 this morning, I'm back to the 2lbs off a day deal, wonder how long this will last? Love you all, thanks for listening to me rant. Robin

I know that feeling... All my work clothes hang on me.. But I refuse to buy a lot of new clothes only to have to do it all again.. I did save some jeans and stuff from my "thinner" days.. so I've been wearing those.. but the girls at work to laugh at my saggy pants and my NO BUTT ...

Yahoo Robin!! I wish I had some clothes to share but I handed mine down already to other WLS ladies. But like a lot say...thrift stores and Mary knows of a good one in Charleston! Keep it up and you are going to see the results! Joan M

GOOD WILL & THE THRIFT STORES ARE A GOD SEND ... &, IF ANYONE HAS CLOTHES THEY ARE GIVING AWAY, THEY USUALLY POST HERE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THEY ARE AVAILABLE! GOOD FOR YOU, MS SKINNY MINNIE! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

Hey Robin, I am about to go through my closet, let me know what size you wear and I will keep them out for you. I shop at goodwill alot and have tons of clothes but I just do not wear them. Mine are like 14 & 16 mostly. I also have a sewing machine if you need to alter anything. Anyway, ain't it a good feeling? Tina Z

Hey Tina, I would love to try your 16's and maybe the 14's since the weight is coming off again. Thanks so much for offering, You can see all my boobs in my work blouses (I didn't realize the boobs go down too) the cleavage is too far down now that my big stomach isn't there to pu**** up some. I'm going to try to come to the meeting tonight if the rain doesn't start. Thanks again hun! Robin

There is an AWESOME thrift store on Dorchester Rd in Summerville- it's called something like Community Thrift Store- it's next to the post office and behind a Bank of America. I got TONS of stuff there when I first started losing, they have incredible prices and lots to choose from! I wish we had one close to where we live now, but we dont have much but snow! haha Good job on the WOW! Rebecca

Thanks Rebecca, I think I know where you are talking about. I live on Dorchester Road in the WhiteHall/Cedar Grove subdivision. I'll try that place out too. I wonder if they do clothing exchange? I'll give them a call, wait but I should really save my clothes for WLS patients who are coming behind me. I'll just check them out and see if I can pick up a few things. I don't plan to buy much as Tina has so graciously offered to loan me some of her things and I'm still loosing thank the LORD. Thanks for the tip hun. Robin
