Frisco-Short on Commitment !!!
I knew this Commitment thing was gonna bite me in the ass !!!
I've been the same size/weight for over a year and a half........and only had two pair of Jeans.....a couple pair of casuals and two mid priced suits.......
Was always washing one pair of Jeans and keeping the other ones fresh and low use......
(on a good note....I never had a pair of Jeans last more than a few months before I blew out the crotch from thigh rub)
I realized I'm not fully committed.....Still ingrained was/is not ever in my life being a stable weight. I've been burned to many times by buying expensive clothes when I had lost weight in the past.....only to retain that weight for about a week......
Jeans and fitted suits don't lie.......
Somewhere in my brain I'm thinking this is temporary........

I think that's why folks (including me) get so easily freaked by stalls and such along the way...we've failed so many times before, somewhere in our brains we can't believe this time will be different.
Time for at least a couple more pair of jeans, though, Frisco. Splurge!

Now I am not trying to buy a ton of clothes in case after plastics my size shifts dramatically from my current size of 4/6 to something much lower...
Short on commitment or suffering sticker shock? I have been staring at my catalogs for weeks knowing I need to buy clothes but dreading it because, let's face it, $50 for a tshirt and $75 for a pair of jeans makes my head hurt.
Last night, I was at Sam's Club, and I spotted Eddie Bauer capri's and henley T-shirts for $21 and $14, respectively. They're $55/45 in the catalog. I bought 4 of the T-shirts and 2 pairs of capris for what I would have paid for 2 pairs of Capris. They only had down to size 6, but I'll see if I can shrink them down to a 4 if not a 2.

When I got down to a 10 I thought it was a miracle. After plastics I went shopping with PBJ and SuperNurse. I was stunned to fit into a 6. Bought 4 pairs and 2 pairs size 8 in a different style. I wear them daily. No elastic waist except my yoga pants and sweats. I hope they keep me grounded on wanting them to fit forever. If they get uncomfortable (3 pounds hurts) I know it's back to protein veggies immediately.
Go forth and buy outrageously well fitting jeans Frisco.

I had Kohl's dollars to spend from prop and wardrobe buys for a job....and those Kohl's dollars expire....so I was kinda frantic looking at stuff and realized I was looking at everything I didn't need....
And thought..... "If you buy more Levis.....you won't have to wash the same pair all the time"
That's when I realized I had commitment issues...... Now I'll probably over compensate.....

Shop at Kohls. First, you get new clothes. Second, you can cater to that insane part of your brain, because you can return the clothes, even washed and worn, up to 1 year later.
I've been a cheap-ass ******* and have returned several pairs of jeans to get the next size down. And then the next size. And then the next size.... I guess I've kinda been renting them...

Thanks Ruggs !!!
We will have your credit cards .....right?
Oh...... I know what I like now...... anything from Biker to Business except the Dockers/Alligator Shirt/Sweater around the neck......not that I don't like it....I just don't like it on me !!!!
It is another learning process.... I've dressed people for years, yet I didn't have a look....well, I did.....It was that Big Boy Store look that is so bad. I will never forget going into those stores as a matter of need with no enjoyment thinkng.......Really....that's there best shot? Let's get this done......
I now can take advantage of a perk I never could before..... I can snag wardrobe from jobs !!!! If I'm shopping it, I throw a few things in that I like or if a Stylist is shopping it they know my sizes and drum roll please.....I can often fit in model/actor sizes now!!!
