Shopping Woes
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

I can't seem to fit anything in my closet lately and what I do wear looks horrible because it is either too big making me look frumpy or too old. I haven't really been shopping since my pre-pregnancy days and even before then I was doing very little because my husband and I were saving for our wedding. Simply put, I need a completely new wardrobe because I am tired of looking like yesterday's news.

I did a little bit of shopping this past week and I have to say I am a little scared of the size that fits me. Yes, I know that I boasted about fitting into my skinny, size 10 jeans but those jeans are more than a couple of years old and a little worn. Therefore, I really didn't expect to fit into a size 10 at today's clothing stores but to my surprise I could and I was hesitant to purchase that size. My husband was with me and asked why would I get a size bigger and I have to admit I am afraid of slipping.

Right now, my closet is filled with a range of sizes including some size 10's that I haven't been able to wear in years. I would hate to buy size 10 clothing and then not be able to fit them and waste more money and have to do this shopping thing all over again. I hate to even admit this but I am scared of slipping back to a larger size. It happens all the time.

So I am kind of in a holding pattern. I've bought a few pieces here and there but haven't really took the leap of faith to buy a lot of items in a "10". I am still waiting to see how much more weight I can lose. This week, since my husband is feeling better I am trying to at least get some cardio in everyday. I'll let you know how that goes.
