Anyone else struggling with clothes?
As the weight comes off, i had a vision of being a slimmer smart chic looking woman 🙂🙂
Well i might be 90lb lighter but i just look like a bag lady!
I never try clothes on (years of dreading changing rooms) and i keep buying clothes which are too big /baggy!
As i was losing i didn't want to spend heaps on clothes, so went to thrift shops and saved my money.
Now I'm nearly at target I have no idea what will look good on the new me!
How on earth do you find the new you .. new look / new style / new size???
I honestly don't know where to start!

My plan when I reach goal is to get my friend who is always dressed beautifully to help me. I think shopping with her was what got me buying clothes that actually fit. For me it was also a mental game of learning not to hid under my big shirts. Right now I am buying my clothes at a inexpensive store. The clothes aren’t that bad. I went not that long ago and got a sweater, three tops, pair of pants and a cardigan for just under $60. As I gained weight I started living in yoga pants so my clothes definitely need a makeover. So I would say ask a stylish friend to help you.

I decided to go swimming. My back started hurting during laps when I kicked. I got out and did some stretching in the hot tub. I got back in the pool and got another 10 minutes. I was proud of my self for getting back in. I have my injections this morning. My main goal today is to get my steps.
Have a great day!

When I had lost 50 pounds, I had the same problem. I kept getting clothes and they were too big. It is a nice problem to have but frustrating until you get used to the new mental image of yourself. My DD saw me and said we needed to go shopping. She showed me a blouse with a cowl neckline and very fitting. I rebelled at first, but then tried it on. I could not believe how good I looked. I would not have chosen that for myself, but with her help, I found my new style. So get a friend or at least just have an open mind and start trying on various styles. You will be pleasantly surprised how some styles really accent your new body. Embrace it. Have fun with it.0 -

@Learningmoments @lindamtuck2018
Thanks for the advice! Actually the one new dress which looks good on me was chosen by a friend and was a color and style the old me would never look at. I guess that's the way to go AND remember i have to step out of my comfort zone!!2 -

Hope you recover quickly! Remember you can still exercise .... find some arm exercises or things you can do lying down ... like leg lifts!1
