…then I went and bought myself some new jeans.
The meeting topic was sort of wrap up of Summer
and how you did on the goals you set for yourself. Since nobody else had anything to contribute,
I shared about my current closet situation and the lock of clothes that fit. Everybody was in agreement about not getting rid
of my size 14 clothing. I talked more
with the group about how I was feeling with Fall approaching. I love Fall and sweater and jeans are my
favorite attire. I didn’t do enough to
lose weight so my pants feel comfortable.
I hate feeling like a stuffed sausage in my clothing. I want to feel confident and happy enjoying
my favorite month of the year. I know
that buying bigger pants isn’t a
positive thing. However, it is a reality
of once again where I am along this journey.
As usually my WW peeps were very supportive and
encouraging and so I went out and bought myself some new pants. I decided to go to Lane Bryant where I know
there is a whole store of stylish clothing and associates that make you feel
good about your size. It really is a
much more enjoyable shopping experience when the clerk understands and can
relate. The only problem is they are
super expensive…like really, really expensive.
I ended up only buying one pair of pants. Then I went next door to Maurices and tried
on the pants I already have and like just in a larger size. I was able to get two for less than the one
pair at Lane Bryant. Yikes! I’ll try them all on again at home and see which
ones I want to keep.
I do feel better when I am not uncomfortable in
my clothing. Buying a larger size of clothing
is that slippery slope we hate to find ourselves on. I am still confident in my re-commitment to
WW and the investment in myself and my health that this won’t be the end all be
all. I don’t feel as trapped as I have
felt in the past when I bought larger clothes.
I am also staying positive in reminding myself that while I am buying a
larger size of jeans, it is still a smaller size than when I started WW.
You must always find the positives in the
dimmest of situations.
