When you start "under growing" your clothes. Cross Posted

I'm a NICU nurse, one day we were having an emergency and I was running down the hall and my pants just straight fell down. The next day, several people brought me smaller scrubs they couldn't wear anymore. They also started bringing me clothes.  Between that and Thrift stores I didn't spend much on clothes.

Awesome story!

When I was banded, my surgeon's office did a clothing swap as part of their support group meetings. I'm 4'11", so I never was able to participate (I wear extra short, petite, everything!), but I was jealous of how it went for most people! It seemed like everyone got to walk away with something, and the clothes just kept in roation amongst the group from month to month. I wonder if you can arrange something like that through the support groups in your area?

Co-op or clothing exchange? You will get smaller and before you know it you will need some more smaller sizes... and smaller shoes too. I bought new everything because my sister told me I needed it. She took me shopping for a new pair of pants, and then size ##, and I only wore them a few times and then I needed size # with in a few months. Every 10 to 5 pounds lost, usually is a smaller size. Get it on sale and or clearance.
