I don't know how you guys are doing but I'm having a rough time embracing the new me. I like what I see but the clothes thing is hard to deal with. I keep going towards stuff that I always wore. It's what I like but now I look at it and think is this aging me. literally my mother my grandmother and I all own the same shirt except in different colors. We didn't buy them together it just happened. My grandmother is in her 90's so when I asked my daughter what she thought she goes it's ok but she didn't say it looks great. I think I need a makeover and now that I don't have any clothes I'm thinking ok maybe now's the time to really say ok who am I just what do I like and not just hide in my clothes. But how do you go about that any suggestions?

Do you remember those glamour shots? Well I did it for my husband except I had a ton of clothes on as i couldn't do the boa nor could I do the sexy hair. It freaked me out. I guess I am going to have to go to the store and just start to try on clothes. Maybe do it in small doses or something. I love the yoga pants sweatshirt look I sport LOL

LOL the dresses I fit in are my daughters and she's 20, I go from looking like a granny to a wanna bee teenie bopper. LOL They should have garanimals for adults you have now reached the late forties early fifties you are to only wear the items with pink flamingos on them.

I had the opposite problem when it came to clothes. Because I wasn't happy with my looks before, I spent A LOT of money on clothes to make myself look beautiful. Way more than I should have because now I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit anymore (thankfully) and I have a few go to items that I can wear for now. I went shopping yesterday at one of my favorite stores and was able to buy a size 12 jeans, where before, I was a 16/18. It was an awesome feeling. I don't have a lot of extra money for clothes shopping right now so I will be going to the outlets in a couple of months to get some spring/summer clothes because I will have nothing when it gets warmer.

My cousin told me about a website that I just registered for called thredup.com. You can sell your old clothes! You can also buy gently used clothes, without the thrift store smell. I have requested the kit to be sent to me so I can sell clothes. The shipping for it all is totally free. If they don't pay you for some of the clothes, you can have them donated.

Went shopping today and ended up buying size 8! Not sure how that happened, last time it was size 12 and I was happy with that! People keep telling me that I'm getting smaller but my weight hasn't changed much in months. Apparently I am toning and moving fat to make way for muscle!

I had that same feeling when I bought a size 12 on Sunday. It is actually a little baggy so I am sure a size 10 isn't too far off. Keep up the good work everyone!

@NewOR2015 Not only do I "not" tuck in, my shirts are all longer tunic length to cover the belly and bottom. This is a far off dream of mine.
@2020pinktogo I googled squats and evidently they are a great exercise that should be in everyone's fitness routine. I am going to add some starting tomorrow, thanks for the idea.

Squats are a great exercise to add to any fitness regimen. I do different variations of squats and my booty has definitely appreciated the extra attention. No granny fanny for me!

I am at my desk laughing out loud . . . I definitely don't want to be the only one in the group with granny fanny. Squats it is!
