Brought some new clothes, worried!!

I brought some new clothes, I was so excited!
But now wearing them it feels strange as I was wearing loose clothes for a while and these are like snug.
I'm not used to the snug feel, worried now if I put weight on, but I can't can I, if I keep on doing what I'm doing.
Anyone else feel the same after wearing really loose clothes. Ta thanks

I'm wearing tight clothes because I'm fat. If I start losing weight I will be wearing loose clothes, my feeling will be happiness because my loose clothes will be reaffirming that I've lost weight. If I buy smaller clothes my insecurities might rise again because my mind will incorrectly associate the "snug" feeling with the way I felt when I was fat. Are you following me? You have to change your attitude towards yourself. A good place to start is understanding why you feel the way you do. Good Job on your weight loss!

I think I know how you feel. I haven't bought new clothes, but I'm wearing some of my old stuff that hasn't fit in a few years. I keep thinking I will pull this pair of pants or that shirt out of the dryer and they it be too small again, but they're not. In fact they keep getting looser. I'm anxious about it. Anxious that I will wake up one morning and have gained all the weight back because I had a treat the day before, even though I was still under my calorie goal. It's weird. I'm not focused on this negative thinking, and I can rationalize it away easily, but it's interesting to me that it is there.

I finally had the courage to dig out some old clothes. They were very snug but are now getting looser. Enjoy the feeling, keep a journal of how you feel as those snug clothes get more roomy.

It's very motivating.... don't even think of the other possibility
