So the day started out normal....THEN i decided
"hey ill treat my self today".....ut oh!!!
we went to Red Robin...
and enjoyed french fries and a cheeseburger and diet coke
(which ill never eat like that again...my stomach cant handle it)
then we headed to the mall where the real trouble started
i saw victoria secrets semi anual sale
where we spent 400dollars on my new bras and panties
i then saw charlotte russe sale
where we spent 250dollars on jeans and shirts/sweaters and shoes
i then stumbled upon the sale at wet seal
where we spent 200dollars on scarfs and shoes and dresses and jackets
and then we went to the gap and spent 190dollars on more clothes for me

im very implusive when i shop and i had not been buying clothes
i had one maybe two pairs of jeans in my current size
yes i plan on losing more
but my boyfriend said
why not dress the way you want
you deserve to wear the cute little clothes you worked so hard to fit
and it was his treat!
and i think he was making up for the fast that last month
he spent 2300 on clothes for himself
he is pretty "metro" and shops like i do
but he can actually afford it
anyways i feel like everyone here at MFP are my friends
and i was so excited i had to share!

    I can't personally do impulse buying what with kids and hubby and all (oh the guilt), but I do believe that the way you dress can sometimes affect the way you eat. I notice when I wear a frumpy outfit, I eat like I'm wearing a frumpy outfit (where are my cookies?) But if I wear an outfit I feel looks good on me and I'm having a "wow, you're looking good" day (not many of those lately though), then I tend to eat for the outfit. And I'm all about having nice clothes for the under clothes too. And not necessarily to impress any guy (although my husband appreciates me getting rid of thread-born bras and underwear), but sexy underwear, even if no one sees it can make you feel sexy. Usually every year around my birthday I go through my underwear drawer, throw out anything that isn't holding its own, and buy myself two new sets. Makes me remember that being old isn't being frumpy.
    So congrats to you. Sounds like you guys had a blast. These after-Christmas sales are killer. Enjoy. If you got it baby, flaunt it!!!
