Becoming a Shop-aholic

I just got back from Old Navy. They are having a big sale. Help Jessica! I am no longer a food addict, but a clothes buying addict. Lynette

hey again Lynette, I went shopping today and dropped apx $600.00! and nothing for me! I take that back I found 2 bra's (big whoop!). So I not only cant stop eating I cant stop shopping either. And the internet has made it even worse. LOL Maureen

Hi Lynette, Once I get all my weight off like you, I plan to become an shop-aholic too. Go for it! You derserve it. I can remember all those days, when I could find nothing to wear. I was down to three shirts and two pair of pants that fit. I was so desperate for clothes, that I had to get them special made (very expensive). Now that I have 95 pounds gone, I can shop at all the woman sections and it is so FUN! But I don't buy to much as I still have another 80 to go. Ann

Hey there Lynette, I discovered that I can shop at Old Navy!!!! I am overwhelmed by that knowledge. I bought a sweater on clearance for $5.97 the other day and wore it on Christmas. It is the sweater I am wearing in my "so far after" pic. I am now able to buy XL in the regular Misses section of the store and I can't believe it. I bought a shirt and a sweater today in XL at Kohls, both on clearance. Now I have to wait for the bottom part of me to catch up!!! I have always been heavier on the bottom then on top, although that changed when I was just huge all over. I currently wear a 20 on the bottom, that frustrates me. I'll keep working and hope the next 50 pounds come off on the lower half of my body!!! Have a beautiful day. Donna

I've noticed as I lost weight that I would loose in one part for awhile, and then the weight lose would shift to another area. Keep working and your bottom half will catch up. I kind of had the opposite problem of you. I lost in my hips more quickly, and it made my midsection above my waist look so big. But I just keep working, and I finally lost there too. Lynette
