The frustration and the joy, anyone else feel like this?

Oh, the frustration of losing weight and not knowing what size clothes to buy, especially online when you can't try them on and sizings differ by manufacturer!

But the joy of buying two skirts online in different sizes because they were reduced from £27 to £8 each, wearing the bigger size for just two weeks then suddenly realising it's about to fall off you, and realising that the smaller size that you decided to keep because although it might be a while before you could get into it, it WAS a bargain you couldn't resist, is now the one you need to wear!!!!

Still doesn't help with buying clothes though LOL

Anyone else have this problem?

I used to have frustrations like that with clothing, but since I've been maintaining for nearly a year now I'm much better at choosing the right size. While I was losing I would always go for a larger size and then be surprised that it was loose!

I found that the smaller I got the easier it was to buy online too, although I still always prefer to try on first!

I agree! I have no idea what size to order now, except smaller! Underwear and outerwear both! I am an outdoorsy person, and mostly I am excited that I can look at brands like Patagonia, Columbia. Marmot, Arcteryx, Mountain Equipment, Ibex, Prana, REI etc, and buy things off the rack. I used to just drool over them and be happy a few of them offered a small selection of plus sizes. Have been on a buying spree, haha.
