I was talking with my mom today (who I am not close with, but she has been really supportive of my weight loss and also kinda inspiring -but don’t tell her Isaid that- because she lost 50 pounds last year by really cutting out sugars and making better food choices. My mom looks pretty great and I have told her that) anyway we were talking about how my clothes look so much better on me now. She was talking about her “ohhh that’s how that’s supposed to look” moments with clothes of her own. However then she said something that really struck me.
When you’re thinner you buy less clothes.
She went on to say she doesn’t need to go shopping to buy something that makes her look 30 pounds thinner because she IS 30 pounds thinner. Or she doesn’t need to buy clothes to make her feel good because she feels good PERIOD.
It was a little epiphany for me because I was SO guilty of buying clothes to make me feel good, when they really don’t because I wasn’t happy with my body under the clothes. It’s so interesting minus running clothes and a MEDIUM dress that I got for $10 I haven’t bought clothes in TWO MONTHS. I don’t need to find THAT outfit to make me feel good, because I FEEL GOOD.
Editor’s Note: I still have a looong way to my GW or UGW, but every day and every pound makes me feel better and better about myself.
