Pulling out the box of "fattest skinny" clothes

Over the past few years I have given up on weight loss and got rid of all my skinny clothes except the fattest ones (XL/L). Today I came across a shirt I love and thought why don't I wear that anymore? Then I saw the tag it is a L t-shirt (men's sizes) and was like, oh that's why. But just for fun I put it on anyway and it fit! Later today I am going to pull out my box of old clothes that I did keep and try stuff on. I am not sure I am quite there yet, but I HATE HATE HATE shopping and am hoping something will be close to fitting. I would rather work harder to make it fit soon than have to buy more new clothes. I don't have enough clothes saved for a whole wardrobe but every item I do have is one that A. I know I like and B. I won't have to spend money on C. less time in a store!

And this will hopefully help me figure out what size I am. That is the worst part of weight loss shopping, figuring out sizes! Especially since I usually wind up a different size in every brand!
