geminigirlI went shopping yesterday. The plan was to pay a couple of store credit card bills, since I'd forgotten to buy stamps and get a birthday gift for my niece and possibly pick up a couple of skirts.
See? You clicked. Now you can read....
I've lost a bunch of weight. And the shape of my body has changed...some places it's come off faster than others. Some not. Formerly slinky clothes are no longer quite as slinky, and some don't slink at all. What this really means is that I need to replace things in my wardrobe. A lot of things. Being on a VERY tight budget, I do this slowly, with coupons and sales and a very little bit at a time. And there were big coupons and good sales this weekend. I bought six pairs of jeans a few months ago...they're already big in the waist. Not in the hips. No. Those don't seem to want to shrink much at all. If they did, I'd be wearing several sizes smaller.
I tried on two dresses. The larger size gaped at the top...there was far too much room. The smaller size, I could have worn. But I wasn't sure I wanted to...I'm still not comfortable with myself.
I noticed this weekend that my tits looked bigger to me. They haven't grown at all...they haven't shrunk with the rest of me either. But if they look HUGE to me, what must they look like to someone else?
I bought three skirts...all of them are getting returned. Because nothing quite fits right. If it fits right in the hips, the waist is huge. If it fits right in the waist the hips don't fit.
I have a few pairs of chinos that are too big to wear to work...and a few pairs that are okay, but should probably be replaced. I dread shopping for new pants because nothing quite fits right. At some point I'll have to...there's only so long I can get away with wearing what I do have.
Buying clothes has become even more difficult than before. And there's nothing I can do about it at the moment.
People at work have noticed that I look different. This is nice. But I also don't feel at home anymore.
I haven't worn my favorite suit in two years. It's too big. I'm afraid to get it altered.
I'm frustrated and annoyed with the whole thing. I want to look good in my clothes again, but I also want to be comfortable and feel at home. And I don't.
