I have a new problem now.......

So I used to walk into anywhere and go to the where the BIGGEST clothes were and hope that anything at all would fit. When I started my journey I started shopping more and more at second hand shops since I knew the clothes I was buying I wouldn't fit for long and therefore I wouldn't be "throwing" uneccesary money away on buying everything new.

So I've lost 87 lbs now and I thought I'd go to the second hand shop to see what they all have. I hadn't shopped in a few months and I needed a few items. So I went right to the size 16 rack, grabbed everything I liked and whatever looked trendy/current/instyle. So I went to the change room and GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING FITS......so my new problem was that I had to retry everything on the pick out the stuff I wanted the most!! LOL

I ended up buying a suede jacket, 2 pairs of jeans, a bra, boots, and a pair of size MEDIUM workout shorts....all for 59$

I was pretty excited about that.

**Since I was feeling so good today about this, I decided to go "shopping" again within my bags of skinny clothes and was able to add 3 pairs of pants, 2 sweaters, 1 hoodie, a jumpsuit, 2 pairs of pj shorts and a pair of swim shorts to my collection of clothes that fit.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A REVOLVING CLOSET.......OUT WITH BIG AND IN WITH THIN!

    WOW that's great!!!!
    I really need some new jeans my size 24's are literally falling off of me and I have enough room in the but of them to fit a small child!!!! I love how most people on here go to second hand stores to find things to fit in that in between stage but, I have a terrible phobia of second hand stores so I am at a loss as to what to do since I really don't want to spend so much on clothes for this stage. I guess I should just get over it. But congrats on your new size and amazing finds!!!!

    I am the same way about 2nd-hand stores, try Walmart and Target for cheap-o items that will last you for the interm, that's what I did!

    Wow! That's great! I can't wait to give my big clothes away! I was thinking about that today. I actually already have clothes in ALL of the sizes below my current size that I can't wear. I can't wait to get into those again! Congrats!

    Just thought I'd share a few photos I took of myself wearing my new stuff.

    Here is my new jacket and a glimpse of one of the pairs of jeans (I have my new bra on too LOL)

    I know this is kind of a silly photo but I couldn't believe how slim my legs looks with my boots on so I had to take a picture!! LOL

    Way to go. Since I had gastric bypass surgery in January of this year I have lost 83 pounds. Because I was losing so rapidly and did not want to have to spend a lot of money I, too, went to a second hand shop. I now shop at the "GW Boutique" or Good Will Store. All of the clothes there have been cleaned before they are put on the rack. I don't feel as guilty for spending money there as I would in a regular store since I have to discard about every 2 months. So I just donate back and it is all for a good cause!!!

    Congrats on your sucessfull journey in the weight lost.
