Clothing Saga well a bit

I am positive that many before me, have gone through some version or other of this.
I have lost almost 76 pounds this year, started in May. And my journey still has quite a few pounds to go.
But shhh, I have never lost this much before, in other attempts. And I have now stumbled down a rabbits hole I never thought of.
Years ago, I donated lots of clothing so I only had my big fat ladies clothes in closet and in drawers. Um and as I keep losing, I am finding what actually fits, is getting to be less and less. So I decided ok go buy a couple pair of pants to tide me through. The tops I can put a ribbon, or belt around.
So there I am and realize I have no clue what so ever what size to start with. I knew the 26's would be huge. Maybe 22's? Well the poor saleswoman, had to keep coming back. The correct size was 18. And I am still a long way from done. But at least I have 3 pair of pull up pants that can go for work, or out now.
Hahaha, the other item never thought of, lose 76 pounds and now I need new underwear. I think I will just do online.
Oh and my wedding rings are about to fall off, so I guess will need to tell hubby need a thin gold band that is smaller to keep others on.
Things one never considers.

I started this journey wearing size 26/28 pants ans 3 or 4x tops. When my clothes started getting too big a local Resale shop became my favorite place to shop. I didn't want to spend a lot on clothes I knew I wouldn't wear long as I am still losing. The best part, I can take clothes that are too big to consign at the same shop.0
