I went shopping today for an outfit that I need for this coming weekend.What a nightmare it was,all the clothes I liked either did not fit properly and made me look even bigger or they just didn't have my size,and the clothes they have in the "big girl" section just looks like huge tents.Its so frustrating,after 3 hours of searching,I left without finding anything.I can't wait to start wearing a smaller size.

    that's the exact reason I hate shopping.... I'm right there with you, can't wait to lose weight! next time you're thinking about eating over your calories just think back to earlier today.

    I know the feeling! I can't wait to walk into a shop and be able to choose something off a normal size rack, try it on and have it fit! :)

    I think if I were to pick an a-ha moment for me it was clothes shopping, yes a nightmare, not to mention the lights and mirrors. It does get better, I was a 16/18 and an xl shirt. This weekend I tried on clothes just to see I fit into a medium and a 12 pants, they were snug (but so were 16/18's at times, at least pants). I am not getting clothes until spring as I am sort of gaining a new wardrobe fitting into clothes I had grown out of. But I feel your pain, it is no fun wanting or needing to shop and not wanting to buy or being able to buy anything. I now look at clothes and cannot wait for the day I can buy what I like and not just what fits.

    I know exactly how you feel :(
    Before I lost major weight, I hated going shopping with a passion! My mom would invite me to go with her and my sister and I would constantly turn them down. Trying on clothes that end up not fitting was just so frustrating and discouraging but I decided to make it into an encouraging moment. Use clothes as motivation to lose weight :)

    That's a part of what I did to help me lose weight and now I sort of like shopping :P
    I recently bought this amazing coat.It fits...just very snug lol but I'm using that as a part of my motivation to keep loosing weight. I will fit into that coat!
