Weeks Eighteen & Nineteen -
Clothes
Lately I've been consumed by
thoughts of clothes - new and old. I had never gotten to that point where I
couldn't wear jeans or shopped in the maternity section of the department
store. However, When you gain weight your fashion sense takes a nosedive. Cute
little tank tops and shorts are no longer an option. So as you gain weight, you
cover up a little more and the options for fashion are no longer
there.
My old shorts were
the buckle type where the newer ones are elastic band. The old tops were
cropped where the newer ones are the longer tunic style. Simple put, we dress
differently when we gain weight.
The clothes shopping experience is still discouraging at a size 18,
but I'm thinking differently now. I won't buy any more elastic waistband
shorts. Instead, I'll wait until about size 14 to restock the wardrobe a
little.
I look at my old
clothes and see nice belts (oh, to wear a belt again!), summer tops and jeans.
Clothes are a big reward for weight loss and a milestone to look forward to.
Things fit better and look better. Visualize yourself in the clothes you'd like
to wear and can't, as I am doing. It is a huge motivational
force!
